The Athlete's Foot® and NexCen Brands, Inc. are committed to providing innovative, flexible solutions to
empower the success of franchise owners in their individual communities.
The Athlete's Foot® is present in large cities and small towns, and in enclosed malls, strip shopping centers
and street front locations across six continents. Our real estate consultants assist franchisees in evaluating
their local market to determine which type of venue is best for their community, identifying the target
customer base and creating a plan for success tailored to the local customer demographics.
The Athlete's Foot® is dedicated to maintaining a store design and merchandising system that is functional,
flexible and innovative. In 1999, The Athlete's Foot® implemented the FitPrint System, which identifies pressure
points through different phases of a customer's gait to inform the best possible fit for his or her athletic footwear.
This unique FitPrint System has proven to be a substantial competitive advantage for The Athlete's Foot®.
In June of 2007, The Athlete's Foot® unveiled its new "next generation" store design. Inspired by the athletic lifestyle,
new stores will feature awnings and banners to evoke a "race day" atmosphere, while fixture details are influenced by design
elements of athletic equipment.
A key feature of the modern store design is a new merchandising system that empowers franchise owners to be flexible,
current and responsive to the demands of the core customers in each of their store locations. Modular merchandise
units display product by lifestyle categories and franchise owners determine the appropriate mix of lifestyle
merchandise for their local markets.
While The Athlete's Foot® operates stores in malls and strip centers, in urban neighborhoods and small towns across
the globe, The Athlete's Foot® remains committed to being locally relevant in its individual communities-providing
its consumers worldwide with a performance advantage.
