Foot Locker is continuing opening-week festivities at its Power Store in Washington Heights, the first of its kind in New York. The 9,000-square-foot store in Marx Realty’s 606 W. 181st St. is also the first among Foot Locker stores to showcase Nike App at Retail digital technology.

“The launch of the Washington Heights Community Power Store serves as an opportunity for us to enhance the in-store customer experience by working in tandem with one of our strongest partners, Nike,” said Frank Bracken, VP and general manager, Foot Locker & Kids Foot Locker US.

Foot Locker currently operates Power Stores in Detroit, Philadelphia, London, Liverpool and Hong Kong, and is expected to open more than a dozen new Power Store locations this year. Upcoming stores are planned for Los Angeles and Vancouver.

The retailer signed a lease with Marx this past April, relocating from its existing space at 625 W. 181st.
