CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the documents
incorporated herein and therein by reference, may contain "forward looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. Additionally, we or our representatives may, from time to time, make other
written or verbal forward-looking statements. Those statements relate to developments,
results, conditions or other events we expect or anticipate will occur in the future. We intend
words such as "believes", "anticipates", "may", "will", "should", "could", "plans", "expects" and
similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Actual future results and trends
may differ materially from historical results or current expectations depending upon factors
including, but not limited to:


· the impact of deteriorating economic and market conditions, trends in personal
bankruptcies and bad debt write-offs, each of which may impact consumer spending
patterns;

which may be impacted by the financial health of third parties;

· our ability to successfully execute our multi-channel strategy;


· the competitive pricing environment within the retail sector and the effectiveness of our
planned advertising, marketing and promotional campaigns;

availability and cost of credit and changes in interest rates;


· the effectiveness of our inventory management, including our ability to minimize
supply chain disruptions and to maintain positive relationships with our vendors and

weather conditions and hazards of nature, as well as regional economic factors, all of
which may affect consumer traffic and consumers' purchasing patterns;

These and other factors, including those factors described in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk
Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010, which
is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, could affect our financial results and trends and cause actual results and trends
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may provide.
As a result, while we believe there is a reasonable basis for the forward-looking statements,
you should not place undue reliance on those statements. We undertake no obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, new
information or future circumstances.
