6. Inventories


Our merchandise inventory was $12.9 million and $21.8 million as of June 3, 2014 and June 4, 2013, respectively. In order to ensure adequate supply and competitive pricing, we sometimes purchase lobster in advance of our needs and store it in third-party facilities prior to our distributor taking possession of the inventory. The decrease in merchandise inventory from the end of the prior fiscal year is due primarily to a reduction in lobster inventory as we temporarily suspended the advance purchasing of lobster during the current fiscal year to utilize the lobster that is in our inventory.
