Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

NOTE 11 — Segment Reporting

In the table below, the Retail Operations includes activity generated by the Company’s retail store locations (Missy Petite Women ("MPW"), outlet stores, Christopher & Banks, and C.J. Banks) as well as the eCommerce business. Retail Operations only includes net sales, merchandise gross margin and direct store expenses with no allocation of corporate overhead as that is the information used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.  The Corporate/Administrative balances include supporting administrative activity at the corporate office and distribution center facility and are included to reconcile the amounts to the condensed consolidated financial statements. 

For the thirteen week period ended April 30, 2016, long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $0.2 million were written down to their fair value of $0 resulting in an impairment charge of $0.2 million. No impairment charge was recorded for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2015. The impairment costs for the thirteen week period ended April 30, 2016 related to store-level asset impairment charges are included in the operating income for the Retail Operations segment.
