Footwear and sportswear retailer Foot Locker is shifting its headquarters from New York to Florida, with cost-cutting playing a key factor in the decision.
In March last year, Foot Locker introduced its “Lace-Up Plan” aimed at reshaping the company’s real estate footprint and propelling growth.
“To further support strategic progress against the Lace Up 2Plan, Foot Locker, Inc. is also announcing that it will move its global headquarters to St. Petersburg, Florida, in late 2025,” the company said in an Aug. 28 statement.
“As such, the company plans to maintain only a limited presence in New York City going forward.”
Foot Locker said the relocation aims to “further build on the company’s meaningful presence in St. Petersburg” as well as reduce costs.
As part of the Lace-Up Plan, Foot Locker announced closing down stores and e-commerce operations in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It also signed an agreement with retail operator Fourlis Group in southeast Europe to transfer operations in Greece and Romania.
These actions are estimated to result in the closure of roughly 30 of the company’s stores in Asia Pacific and Europe. The changes are set to be finished by the middle of next year. In the second quarter, the firm had closed 31 stores while opening five. The company currently has 2,464 stores in 26 nations across the world, with 772 outlets in the United States. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
