Depreciation expense of $4.4 million, $3.9 million and $2.5 million was included in cost of goods sold, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges related to assets held for sale of $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The impairment charges arose primarily from declining commercial real estate values. The Company estimated the fair value of the assets classified as held for sale using recent sales data for similar properties in the area and analyzed the expected cash flows from different sales scenarios.

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $1.0 million, $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and proceeds from the sales of real estate held for sale of $2.8 million, $3.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These disposals were primarily related to assets of stores closed as part of the restructuring events discussed in Note 6.
