Shares of Foot Locker surged 62.32% in extended trading, while Dick's Sporting Goods was down about 5%.
That's how you know this acquisition was a great idea!

That's typically how it goes with acquisitions. The acquired company's stock goes up, while the acquiring company's stock goes down.

And like most regional cultural icons, it's a mediocre product with terrible service at exorbitant prices.
Great tourist trap, though.

Man, fark Dick's Sporting Goods. I worked there for about 4 months as a stop-gap job after getting let go from my security system installer job. They implemented a company wide rule for all full time employees - if you want to remain full time (and have health insurance. Part time received no benefits) you had to have completely open availability. If the store was open, you had to be able to be scheduled during that time. One woman I worked with was a single mom. She worked the day while her son was at school. The rule came down and they changed her schedule to nights. She couldn't work it because she had no one to watch her son at night. Dick's said tough luck - work nights or lose your job. She punched out that night and never came back. So farking heartless. I was already on my way out to a new job so I didn't get screwed but I know I would have.

I thought they were out of business already. I don't remember the last time I saw a Foot Locker store.

I used to work at a dicks. I don't know how dicks is even considered a sports store. It's 50% golf at this point. 25% under armor. Then garbage for any other sport with insane prices. I hope they go under.

I just said what a bad company they were! I left after my degree. It was a job in college. They are total shiat. They made a girl a manager cause she was dating the other manager. No joke. He said "I like her. Promote her". So she walked around trying to tell people what to do. I worked the climbing wall (before they got rid of that). And she'd try to bark orders at us and we laughed in her face. She knew no side of business. Nothing about climbing.

20 years ago they had "sporting goods". You could pick up fishing line, tent stakes, running shoes, a basketball goal, whatever. Dick's is a joke now, in oversized square footage.
Academy Sports moved in a block away. They have everything and low cost house brands. They're killing Dick's (like yer mom).

How does Dick's make money? It is already a shoe store plus polyester apparel.

shiat company that sets up in rich neighborhoods under the guise that they are sports. It's 50% golf now. Not kidding. And anything kids sports is shiat and overpriced. 50 dollar shin pads for soccer? fark yourself. I hope they go down. Yeti shiat all over. You know there are coolers that do just as well. No idea why yeti got popular. None of these assholes are staying out for a week in the woods. I went to Kentucky on a climbing trip and had a foam one I took that we keep meds chilled in. It was still cold a week later with the ice packs. People are farkin idiots

They got rid of all the camping items. It's just kids after school sports crap made overseas, golf crap, and yeti coolers. I hope they go bankrupt.

Ours has kayaks, fishing supplies, exercise equipment and sport gear, plus clothing and shoes. Do they have some sort of stripped down version elsewhere?

If we had a legitimate federal government, this might raise antitrust concerns. But we don't so whatever.

Depends on the neighborhood. In Frisco they have cricket supplies, in Flower Mound it's all golf and soccer mom approved activities. If you want camping, hit the Walmart or Bass Pro Shop.

True footlocker fans won't like lossing the FL experience.
And people go to dicks because they are old and completely done with FL.
They actually aren't competing for the same customers.
Trying to make some good at one store it's going to be f****** stupid.
