Foot Locker places 261 Wisconsin employees on furlough

New York-based shoe retailer Foot Locker Inc. informed state officials this week that it has placed 261 Wisconsin employees on temporary, unpaid furloughs, due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The furloughs began on April 26, the company said.

“Until very recently, we were hoping the circumstances would have enabled us to reopen sooner,” the company said in a letter to the state.
