established a reputation with these young adults, who are culturally sophisticated, self-expressive and concerned with acceptance by their peer group. The
product offering includes women's and men's fashion apparel, footwear and accessories, as well as an eclectic mix of apartment wares and gifts. Apartment
wares range from rugs, pillows and shower curtains to books, candles and novelties. Stores average approximately 9,000 square feet of selling space, and
typically carry an estimated 55,000 to 60,000 stock keeping units ("SKUs"). Our stores are located in large metropolitan areas, select university communities,
