Foot Locker Expands onto the Web In December 1997, Foot Locker further expanded its commitment to its customers by launching a fully integrated web site (www.footlocker.com) which serves as an additional resource for entertainment, information and commerce for consumers. The web site has a sophisticated back-end database that links the various brands and provides Internet users with the world's largest selection of athletic footwear and apparel. The proprietary system performs real-time inventory checks, which allow customers the opportunity to purchase styles that are in stock and shipped within 24 hours.
