The U.S. sneaker market continues to boom, and one British retailer wants a much bigger piece of that pie.

JD Sports Fashion currently has almost 400 stores in North America bearing its name, with plans to reach 800 by opening new stores and continuing to convert stores from the Finish Line chain it bought in 2018. The company also owns several other sports apparel chains in the U.S. under different banners. All told, JD’s various chains bring in nearly $6 billion a year stateside, making it one of the largest sports gear retailers in the country.
