Employees
As of January 31, 2011, we employed approximately 16,000 people, approximately 40.2% of
whom were full-time employees. The number of part-time employees fluctuates depending on seasonal
needs. Of our total employees, 2% work in the wholesale segment and the remaining 98% work in our
retail segment. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we
believe that our relations with our employees are excellent.
Financial Information about Operations
We aggregate our operations into two reportable segments, the retail segment and the wholesale
segment. See Note 13, “Segment Reporting,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
