12. LEASES

        We rent substantially all of our retail space under operating leases that generally range from 5 to 10 years and may contain minimum rent escalations, while kiosk leases generally range from 3 to 5 years. We also lease certain vehicles under capital leases for a term of four years. We recognize the minimum rent payments on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including the construction period. Contingent rentals paid to lessors of certain store facilities are determined principally on the basis of a percentage of sales in excess of levels contained in the respective leases. All existing real estate leases are operating leases. Rent expense from continuing operations is included in SG&A and is as follows (in thousands):
