Finish Line is a leading American retail chain specializing in athletic apparel, footwear, and accessories. Founded in 1976, the company is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Initially launched as a franchise of the athletic footwear store, The Athlete's Foot, Finish Line quickly grew to become an independent brand.

Finish Line primarily sells products from popular athletic brands such as Nike, Adidas, Puma, Under Armour, and Reebok. They offer a wide range of shoes, including running, basketball, and lifestyle footwear, as well as clothing and accessories for men, women, and children. The company operates both online and through a network of over 550 brick-and-mortar stores across the United States.

In terms of its global operations, Finish Line currently has no significant presence outside the United States. However, in 2018, the company entered into a strategic partnership with JD Sports, a UK-based sports fashion retailer, to accelerate its global growth potential. This collaboration allows Finish Line to access JD Sports' extensive international presence and expertise.

Finish Line faces tough competition from other athletic retailers like Foot Locker, Inc. However, the brand has managed to establish a strong market position. With annual net sales of over $1.

8 billion, Finish Line boasts a significant share of the U. S. Over the years, Finish Line has achieved several milestones.

In 2003, the company acquired Genesco Inc., an apparel and footwear retailer, which helped expand its product offering and create synergies. Additionally, in 2013, Finish Line successfully completed the acquisition of the specialty running store chain, JackRabbit. These acquisitions have contributed to the company's growth and diversification.

As of the latest available information, Finish Line continues to operate as a subsidiary of JD Sports, with a focus on strengthening its global market presence. The company remains committed to providing customers with the latest athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories, both online and in-store
