Segment and Geographic Information

As of March 31, 2013, we operated 28 distribution centers in the U.S. and Canada (excluding two distribution facilities we operate as a third party logistics provider) which support our wholesale distribution business. Twenty-four of our distribution centers are located in the U.S., including three consolidating warehouses, and four are located in Canada.

Our distribution centers (operating divisions) which produce almost all of our revenues have similar historical economic characteristics and have been aggregated into one reporting segment. Couche-Tard accounted for 13.4% and 13.5% of our net sales in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
