Item 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive and administrative offices are located at 1818 Cornwall Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6J 1C7. In March 2011, we purchased the building that currently houses our administrative offices and in October 2012 we purchased additional space in Vancouver, BC for our administrative offices. We currently operate three distribution centers located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Sumner, Washington, and Melbourne, Victoria. In November 2013 we purchased a distribution center in Columbus, Ohio and will commence operations in mid-2014. We expect that our current administrative offices and distribution centers are sufficient for our expansion plans for the foreseeable future.

The general location, use, approximate size and lease renewal date of our properties at February 2, 2014, are set forth below:

As of February 2, 2014, we leased approximately 734,000 gross square feet relating to 252 of our 254 corporate-owned stores. Our leases generally have initial terms of between five and 10 years, and generally can be extended only in five-year increments, if at all. All of our leases require a fixed annual rent, and most require the payment of additional rent if store sales exceed a negotiated amount. Generally, our leases are "net" leases, which require us to pay all of the cost of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities. We generally cannot cancel these leases at our option.
