As of March 3, 2017, we operated 13,429 retail stores located in 44 states as follows:

Most of our stores are located in leased premises. Individual store leases vary as to their terms, rental provisions and expiration dates. Many stores are subject to build‑to‑suit arrangements with landlords, which typically carry a primary lease term of up to 15 years with multiple renewal options. We also have stores subject to shorter‑term leases and many of these leases have renewal options. A significant portion of our new stores are subject to build‑to‑suit arrangements.

We lease the distribution centers located in California, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Missouri and own the remaining distribution centers in the table above.
