Foot Locker’s new ‘Power Store’ bringing more than sneakers to Washington Heights

Foot Locker 'Power Store' in Detroit.Foot Locker, Inc.
Foot Locker is marching its new “Power Store” to Washington Heights.

When it opens this fall, the 25,000-square-foot space at 605 W. 181st St. will sell sneakers for sure — but also feature a barbershop, a gaming zone, an event space with a DJ, and artist areas where customers can design their own footwear and get their sneakers cleaned.

London, Hong Kong and Detroit already have slam-dunk versions of the Power Store with Philadelphia and LA locations soon to open.

The space was previously occupied by America’s Kids. Foot Locker’s current spot at 621 W. 181st, which is roughly half the size, will shutter itself. The stores are both between St. Nicholas and Wadsworth avenues along the popular shopping street served by the No. 1 subway and bus routes.

Foot Locker was represented by Evan Schuckman of Ripco.

The building owner, Marx Realty, was repped by an in-house team led by Henry Henderson.

“In this retail day, there will be winners and losers,” said Craig Deitelzweig, CEO of Marx Realty, which owns property in 16 states. “We chose Foot Locker because they are local and we believe that Foot Locker understands what it takes to be successful in this retail environment. They are very future-proof.”

This will not survive in the Heights too many barbershops and no one is leaving their barbers for a footlocker barbershop.

celebrating the announcement of bringing more materialistic goods into the communities. Instead of wanting to bring more STEM academies so that we can empower the future generations.

Flea market is good for steals but they be finessing with some prices. Picture me me paying $300-$350 for some jays a week or 2 early. I’m good. Heights sportswear you get Gucci with the Korean ***** and he got you for retail. Gotten most my 700’s and 350’s there

It’s not about opening a barbershop it’s about who’s going to a foot locker barbershop in the heights that’s from the heights.

And I can guarantee you it won’t be the popping spot every weekend, unless you’re talking about the under age kids. The heights got too many spots for a footlocker to be the popping spot

 

[alchemist iq]

I’d I’m barber that’s easy clientele=easy money imo.


Wonder if they will be rent booths or someone will actually own a shop in there.

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

If they ain't got no wholesale yayo no reason not to visit one of the other 50 thousand FTLs in the NYC

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Foot Locker barbershop = pretty much super cuts, Foot Locker will be paying high premium rent which means haircuts would be high premium prices 40/50 $ haircuts only barbers charging that would owners of a shop. You’d be high pressed to find someone in “Da Heights” that would pay that.
