Foot Locker owns Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS, and atmos, and has 2,400 stores in 20 countries, including North America, Europe, and Asia.

The retail landscape is littered with failed mega-mergers, but that's not stopping Dick's Sporting Goods from trying its own hand at a big deal. The company announced on Thursday that it was buying the long-suffering Foot Locker retail chain for $2.

Dick’s, the retail leader in sporting goods, will acquire Foot Locker, the leading specialty footwear retailer, for $2.4 billion. Both depend heavily on sneaker sales.
