Where possible, we have obtained sites in buildings requiring minimal alterations. This has allowed us to establish stores in new
locations in a relatively short period of time at reasonable costs in a given market. To date, we have been able to secure leases in
suitable locations for our stores. At February 3, 2007, the majority of our Ross 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 six years, or 22 years if renewal options are included. At February 3, 2007, the majority of our dd’s DISCOUNTS
stores had unexpired original lease terms ranging from eight to ten years with three to four renewal options of five years each. The
average unexpired original lease term of our leased stores is nine years, or 28 years if renewal options are included. See Note E
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
