The Athlete's Foot Group is itching to expand. The Georgia-based subsidiary of France's Groupe Rallye sells footwear online and in about 750 company-owned and franchised stores in about 45 countries. The Athlete's Foot wants to distinguish itself from other footwear retailers by catering to serious athletes. Store employees are specially trained to measure the foot's length, arch, and width to find the right shoe brand and style. The company plans to add another 100 stores (some catering to women) in the US in the next few years. The Athlete's Foot has spread into Japan, Australia, China, and Latin America, with an eye toward stepping into the UK.
