| All Just For Feet Doors To Be Closed Along With 77 Footactions; See Entire List
MARCH 08, 2004 -- Dale Hilpert, CEO, commented, "We are conducting a thorough review of our operations as we work to develop a long-term business strategy that will form the basis of a Plan of Reorganization. While this analysis is underway, we determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its creditors to take immediate action to reduce losses in the company's Athletic segment. The Just For Feet business has been unprofitable since its acquisition in 2000, primarily as a result of its high lease costs. By exiting this business and closing 77 unprofitable Footaction stores, we will have a financially stronger core Athletic division, consistent with our objective of refocusing our resources on a more profitable business base." R. Shawn Neville, president/CEO of Footstar's Athletic segment, said, "Following the closings, Footaction will operate 352 stores with continued strength and focus in major metropolitan markets across the country. With this more focused store base, we will be better able to build upon our leadership position with our core athletic consumers. We look forward to capitalizing on Footaction's unique competitive strengths to reposition this business for financial stability and improved profitability." Hilpert concluded, "We deeply regret the impact the closings will have on our associates and will do what we can to help ease the transition for those who are affected. However, we strongly believe this action will be a critical component in Footstar's successful reorganization." Liquidation sales at the closing stores are anticipated to begin shortly after Court approval is received. The closures are expected to be completed by summer. Affected associates will be paid as normal until their locations close.
