                 The Company's retail business is somewhat seasonal.  Due to
the holiday season, the fourth quarter generally reflects higher net sales and
net income than the other quarters. The first quarter is usually the least
profitable reflecting the traditional slow retail sales period following the
holiday season.  Quarterly fluctuations in inventory balances are normal
reflecting the opportunistic purchases available at any given time and the 
expansion of the Company's store base. Historically, on a per store basis, 
inventory levels are lower at the end of the fiscal year and build through the 
remaining three quarters of the year to a peak level in the third quarter.  
Accounts payable generally follow a trend similar to inventories.

SALES.  Net sales in the third quarter of 1994 increased 18.8% to $310.1 
million from $261.1 million.  For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 1994,
net sales increased 16.9% to $825.2 million. Reflected in the quarterly and 
year-to-date sales gains are increases in net retail sales of 18.5% and 16.6%, 
respectively.  The year to date sales volume reflects the negative impact in 
each  first

quarter of severe winter storms in many of the Company's market areas in
addition to the expansion of the Company's retail store base. For 1994
comparable store sales for stores open two full years at the beginning of
fiscal 1994 increased 2.0% in the third quarter and were even for the
thirty-nine week period. In the prior year comparable store sales increased
4.0% in the third quarter and were a positive 2.2% for the year to date period.

GROSS PROFIT.   Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 43.7% for the
third quarter of 1994 and 43.0% for the year-to-date period.  In contrast gross
profit percentages in the preceding year were 44.1% and 43.6%, respectively.
Retail gross profit in the third quarter of 1994 and 1993 were 44.2% and 44.6%,
respectively. For the first nine months of 1994 retail gross profit was 43.4%
compared to 44.0% in the prior year. The decline in gross profit percentage is
primarily attributable to markdowns associated with softlines offset slightly
by benefits realized from inventory control programs.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.   Selling and administrative expenses as a
percent of net sales were 38.4% and 39.1% in the third quarters of 1994 and
1993, respectively. For the thirty-nine week periods of 1994 and 1993 selling
and administrative expenses were 38.9% and 39.6% of net sales.  The improvement
reflects the reduction of previously recognized operating expenses, leverage
from store growth on corporate fixed expenses, the benefits of implemented cost
controls, and general operating efficiencies.

INTEREST EXPENSE.   Interest expense increased $0.9 million in the third
quarter of 1994 compared to the same 1993 period.  This rise reflects an
increase in the weighted average seasonal borrowings and higher effective
interest rates on seasonal borrowings offset to some extent by the benefit of
capitalized interest associated with the construction of a addition to the
Company's warehouse facility.

INCOME TAXES.   The Company's effective income tax rate has increased from
40.0% in fiscal 1993 to 41.0% in 1994. The increase represents higher tax rates
in certain states which the Company operates, the utilization of state
operating loss carryforwards and a reduction in the benefits from Targeted Jobs
Tax Credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

Financing for store expansion, capital expenditure programs, and seasonal 
operating requirements are financed by internally generated funds and 
available credit facilities. The Company has a $90 million revolving credit 
facility through June 1, 1996, and a $50 million letter of credit facility 
through June 1, 1995.  Seasonal increases in the revolving credit and letter 
of credit facility to $110 million and $75 million, respectively are available. 
Additional uncommitted credit facilities totaling $55 million are utilized as 
needed.  Availability under all credit agreements, including seasonal 
increases, at October 29, 1994, totaled $100.3 million. The Company believes 
that sufficient amounts of capital resources are available, or readily 
obtainable, to achieve both short-term plans and long-term goals.
