Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Note 6 – Leases

The Company leases retail stores, warehouses, distribution centers, office space and certain equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Most leases are for a term of one to ten years.  Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years.  Several of the Company’s retail store leases include an option to terminate the lease based on failure to achieve a specified sales volume. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the

Company’s sole discretion. The exercise of lease termination options is generally by mutual agreement between the Company and the lessor.

Certain of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company’s lease assets and liabilities as of July 31, 2021, July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2021 consist of the following:

The Company’s operating lease liabilities significantly declined during fiscal 2021 due to the restructuring of the retail operations segment, partially offset by other leasing activity.
