JD Sports, after acquiring Hibbett Sports in 2024, plans to close 175 underperforming Hibbett stores across the US over the next three years to optimize its retail footprint and cut costs. The move aligns with JD's strategy of operating fewer but larger and more profitable stores. While Hibbett's store count has already declined from 1,169 to 982 since the acquisition, JD also plans to open new JD stores and convert Finish Line locations to JD stores, keeping overall store numbers stable. This restructuring follows similar store closure trends in the retail footwear sector, including Foot Locker's recent closures after its acquisition by Dick's Sporting Goods.
