Strategic growth continues with new stores in Heraklion, Crete, Larissa, and Romania – New concept store to open in Chalandri by year-end.

Athens – October 6, 2025 – Fourlis group, a leading retail group in Southeastern Europe, is steadily expanding the Foot Locker network with the opening of new stores in strategic locations across Greece and Romania.

In September 2025, Foot Locker entered Crete with the opening of a new store in Heraklion. The store brings the sneaker culture closer to local consumers, offering a modern environment with a strong focus on innovation and a wide variety of products. Earlier, in August, a new Foot Locker store opened in Larissa, on Panagouli Street. Spanning two levels, it showcases curated collections from top brands such as Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma, and New Balance. In June, Foot Locker also opened a store in Iași, Romania, a city of significant commercial importance. At the same time, the brand strengthened its presence in the country with the launch of its e-commerce platform dedicated to the Romanian market.

The growth strategy continues, with another store set to open in Athens, in Chalandri, before the end of the year. This will be among the first stores in the region to feature the Reimagined Evolution concept. Designed as the “store of the future,” it features bold storefront, distinct in-store environment, expanded footwear and accessory selections, an emphasis on sustainability, dynamic digital fixtures, and other technological advances. The concept also provides Foot Locker's sneaker ambassadors, the Stripers, with the ability to elevate their customer service through a sharpened high-tech toolkit.

With the new store in Chalandri, Fourlis group invests in innovative concepts, bringing new technologies and omnichannel services to the Greek retail market. The aim is to strengthen and grow the Foot Locker brand, creating a shopping experience that meets consumer expectations while underscoring the group’s strategic position in the sector.
