Total square footage per store is calculated by dividing total square footage at end of year by number of stores at end of year.

Average total square footage represents a weighted average, which reflects the effect of opening stores in different months throughout the year.

Net sales per average total square foot was calculated by dividing net sales for the year by the average square footage for those stores open during each year. The sales for the 53rd week of fiscal 2012 were approximately $55 million.
