Item 2. Properties

The following is a summary of our principal owned and leased properties as of January 3, 2026.

Our corporate headquarters occupies approximately 0.2 million square feet of leased space in a building in Atlanta, Georgia. Our lease for this space expires in July 2035. In addition, we occupy leased space in a building in Mississauga, Ontario, which serves as our regional headquarters for Canada, and we occupy leased space in Hong Kong, which serves as our principal sourcing office in Asia. We also lease other space in Georgia and New York, as well as in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Mexico, and Vietnam that, depending on the site, serves as a sourcing, sales, or administrative office.

Our largest distribution centers, which we lease, are located in Braselton, Georgia and Stockbridge, Georgia and are approximately 1.1 million and 0.5 million square feet, respectively. These distribution centers support all of our operating segments. In addition, we own an approximately 0.2 million square foot facility in Griffin, Georgia, which we utilize for overflow and other distribution-related activities. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we vacated our 0.2 million square-foot single-channel facility in Jonesboro, Georgia. We also lease additional space in, or use third-party logistics providers located in, California, Canada, China, Mexico, and Vietnam for warehousing and distribution purposes.

We operate the following number of leased retail stores: 804 in the United States, 192 in Canada, and 72 in Mexico. Our average remaining lease term for retail store leases in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is approximately 3.4 years, excluding renewal options. We have identified opportunities to rationalize our store portfolio by closing approximately 150 low-margin stores, primarily at lease expiration, in North America during fiscal years 2025 through 2028. We closed 35 stores across fiscal 2025 and expect to close approximately 60 stores across fiscal 2026.
