OPERATING LEASES

OPERATING LEASES

We lease stores, our corporate headquarters, two distribution centers and equipment under operating leases. The majority of store leases, which are typically for an initial 10-year term and often with two renewal options of five years each, require us to pay base rent plus expenses, such as common area maintenance, utilities, taxes and insurance.  Certain store leases provide for contingent rents that are not measurable at inception.  These contingent rents are primarily based on a percentage of sales that are in excess of a predetermined level. A number of store leases provide for escalating minimum rent.

Minimum rental commitments on long-term, non-cancelable operating leases at February 3, 2018, are as follows (in thousands):
