Champs Sports refers to an American sports retail store and has been operating as a subsidiary of Foot Locker which is an American retailer of sportswear and footwear. Champs Sports sells products like apparel, equipment, footwear and accessories. Since June 2019, 540 store locations have been found in United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. The stores are mainly spread out in shopping malls. It was acquired in 1980s by Woolworth Corporation and then a special store division of F.W. Woolworth Company. These two, along with Foot Locker sold the athletics’ merchandise and replaces the five and dime and department store concepts with a better specialty store concept.
Woolworth Corporation acquired mail-order catalogue athletic retailer Eastbay for around 146 million dollars in the year 1997. Then on 17th July 1997, F.W. Woolworth Company closed the remaining department stores. Woolworth Corporation then changed its name to Venator Group, Inc., and continued to put more importance to the idea of specialty store. After the market of sports apparel declined in the year 2000, Venator Group shuttered a large number of its stores which also included the 27 Champs Sports locations and it proved to be successful because high-end footwear started to grow in terms of popularity.
