 PROFILE
On the run from its five-and-dime roots, Venator Group (formerly Woolworth Corporation) has about 3,750 specialty stores, led by Foot Locker (the #1 athletic footwear retailer in US). Venator's stores in North America, Australia, and Europe also include Northern Reflections (women's apparel in Canada) and Champs Sports (athletic wear). Its Eastbay unit sells athletic apparel through catalogs. While expanding its athletic group, the retailer has closed its Woolworth general merchandise stores in the US, sold and shut down underperforming chains and businesses, and adopted a new moniker (Venator is Latin for "sportsman" or "hunter"). Investment Group Greenway partners owns 13% of Venator.
