Warehouse and Distribution
At February 1, 2014, we owned or leased approximately 9.5 million square feet of distribution center and warehouse space. We
own and operate five regional distribution centers strategically located across the United States in Ohio, California, Alabama,
Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania. In Canada, at February 1, 2014, we leased two regional distribution centers located in British
Columbia and one located in Ontario, all of which we closed during the fourth quarter of 2013 as part of the Canadian Wind
Down. The regional distribution centers in our U.S. segment utilize warehouse management technology, which we believe
enables high accuracy and efficient processing of merchandise from vendors to our retail stores. The combined output of our
regional distribution centers in our U.S. segment was approximately 2.7 million cartons per week in 2013. Certain vendors
deliver merchandise directly to our stores when it supports our operational goal to deliver merchandise from our vendors to the
sales floor in the most efficient manner.
The number of owned and leased distribution centers and warehouse space and the corresponding square footage of the
facilities by state and province at February 1, 2014, were as follows:
