remodeling or build-outs that we perform and are responsible for complying with all applicable laws in
connection with such construction projects or build-outs.
Employees
As of January 31, 2015, we employed approximately 8,100 people on a full-time basis and approximately 14,300
on a part-time basis. We have no collective bargaining agreements. We have not experienced any work stoppages
and believe we have good relationships with our employees.
Seasonality
Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuation. Significant portions of our net sales and profits are realized during
the fourth quarter of the fiscal year due to the holiday selling season. To a lesser extent, our business is also
affected by Mothers’ Day as well as the “Back to School” season and Valentine’s Day.
