Foot Locker traces its origins back to the year 1879, after Frank Woolworth opened his first store, “Woolworth’s Great Five Cent Store” in Utica New York. He was a New York native who was the son of American Civil war captain, John Hubbell Woolworth and his wife, Fanny Mcbrier (“Biography of Frank Winfield Woolworth” 2005). The couple married in 1851 and one year later, Frank Winfield Woolworth was born. His childhood was filled with memories of hard work and scarcity. Mr. Woolworth would work long hours on his father 's farm and would barely have enough money to scrape buy. This became evident when he took a trip to Watertown, NY to buy a 50 cent scarf for his mother and was ridiculed by shopkeepers for trying to buy with change. The trip also allowed the young man to come across another store where he was able to buy a similar scarf for 5 cents and a wide variety of other cheap goods. On top of that, the staff were much more courteous as they provided a satisfying attitude for all customers, regardless of social background. Such quality service prompted Mr. Woolworth to open his first store in 1879 that would mirror such quality to the public. His business model worked as he was able to incorporate his company in 1904 to become the famed “F.W Woolworth Co.”. Almost 50 years later, the company would surpass the one billion dollar value mark.  After that, Woolworth and Co. would acquire the G.R Kinney Corporation in 1965, the corporation that started Footlocker nine years

When people think about shoes most of them have one superior shoe company come to mind, Nike. This dominant company was founded by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman in 1964. Little do some know this company hasn’t always been on the top of shoe companies. When it first started off it was called Blue Ribbon Sports, but it was later changed to its iconic name Nike in 1973. Matter in fact it was started in the back of a car, and now it’s worth roughly around $15 million dollars. This change didn’t happen overnight. It took a lot of grit from Knight and Bowerman to achieve this elite status, which was obtained through two individuals with great ideas on how to reach it, and the grit to back their ideas up.

In addition, there are 59 franchised Foot Locker stores operating in South Korea and the Middle East, as well as 15 franchised Runners Point stores in Germany. Runners Point is a specialty athletic store and online retailer based in Recklinghausen, Germany. On July 10, 2013, Foot Locker had announced that is had completed the acquisition of Runners Point Group. 2016 was the seventh consecutive year of sales growth and profit growth for Foot Locker. After further research, an interesting fact that I learned is that in 1963, the F.W. Woolworth Company purchased the Kinney Shoe Corporation. In the early 1960’s Kinney had branched into various specialty shoe stores, including Foot Locker. The Woolworth Company incorporated a separate company in 1988, called the Woolworth Corporation. The new company, Woolworth Corporation was responsible for the operations of the Foot Locker stores. Being a frequent customer of Foot Locker, it is intriguing to learn the history of the

The shoe became a major hit as the popular culture of the 90s saw a rise in 70s-inspired fashion. A second shoe, the “Mary-Lou,” a variation on the Mary-Jane with a bump-toe, was created following the previous one’s popularity, and was also a big hit with teenagers. Steve Madden now owns 100 shoe stores in the United States and another 185 across the globe. Number Ten: Steve Madden Owns the Betsey Johnson Brand In 2010, Madden bought Johnson’s debts, a deal that made him the owner of the Betsey Johnson brand.

While the knowledge that many amenities that are expected in America are not remotely available in some regions of Africa is common, shoes usually do not top that list. While many American cities institute laws requiring those in public to wear shoes, some African villages find the concept of footwear foreign. The problem of shoelessness extends beyond just comfort, as foot injuries spread disease, create life long disabilities, and reduce the quality of living for many children. Giving shoes to these children, then, seems like a fitting answer to a desperate situation. Companies built upon that answer such as TOMS shoes, however, end up contributing to impoverished conditions that drive shoelessness rather than reducing it in the long run.

The company should accept this project. The project payback period is between 2 to 3 years.

Make sure you correctly identify which of your two companies is “Company A”. Note also that you were allocated randomly drawn and randomly paired companies. Therefore, Company B is probably not a useful comparable for Company A’s new project.
