- Description: The spirit of the venator -- which is Latin for "sportsman" or "hunter"-- did not help the Venator Group, so it changed its name to Foot Locker in November 2001 to underscore its commitment to athletic goods retailing. The company has about 3,600 specialty stores in North America, Australia, and Europe, led by Foot Locker (the #1 athletic footwear retailer in US). Foot Locker also operates Champs Sports, an athletic wear retail chain; Eastbay, a catalog retailer of athletic equipment and apparel; and the Footlocker.com Web site.
