Merchandise Vendors

We purchase private label merchandise from approximately 600 vendors and non-private label merchandise from approximately 300 vendors. Our vendors have facilities in approximately 60 countries. No vendor accounted for more than 3 percent of the dollar amount of our total fiscal 2008 purchases. Of our merchandise sold during fiscal 2008, approximately 3 percent of all units (representing approximately 3 percent of total cost) were produced domestically while the remaining 97 percent of all units (representing approximately 97 percent of total cost) were produced outside the United States. Approximately 23 percent of our total merchandise units (representing approximately 27 percent of total cost) were produced in China. Events causing disruption of imports from China or other foreign countries, including the imposition of additional import restrictions, or vendors potentially failing due to the current economic downturn or an inability to maintain an acceptable level of operating capital, could have an adverse effect on our operations. Substantially all of our foreign purchases of merchandise are negotiated and paid for in U.S. dollars. Also see the section entitled “Risk Factors—Trade matters may disrupt our supply chain” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
