Where possible, we obtain sites in buildings requiring minimal alterations, allowing us to establish stores in new locations in
a relatively short period of time at reasonable costs in a given market. At January 30, 2010, the majority of our stores had
unexpired original lease terms ranging from three to ten years with three to four renewal options of five years each. The average
unexpired original lease term of our leased stores is five years, or 22 years if renewal options are included. See Note E of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
