The new store also includes custom artwork painted by artists, as well as an activation space that will host ongoing community events for sneaker and streetwear lovers. Due to the ongoing pandemic, however, community events will only take place in the future, when it is safe to do so.

In addition to the activation space, the new Power Store also features a barber set-up and lounge.

Toronto’s new retail location is the second Power Store in Canada, following Vancouver. It marks the ninth of Foot Locker’s global locations, with other Power Stores located in New York, Philadelphia, Washington Heights, and California.
