We own approximately 480,861,000 cubic feet of our distribution facilities and self-serve centers (or 81.0% of the total
cubic feet), and the remainder is occupied under leases expiring at various dates from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2041, exclusive
of renewal options. Certain of the facilities owned by the company are either subject to mortgage indebtedness or
industrial revenue bond financing arrangements totaling $17,727,000 as of June 30, 2007. Such mortgage indebtedness
and industrial revenue bond financing arrangements mature at various dates through fiscal 2026.
We own our approximately 325,000 square foot headquarters office complex in Houston, Texas and lease approximately
150,000 square feet of additional office space in Houston, Texas. We began the expansion of our headquarters office
complex in fiscal 2006, the first phase of which was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Upon completion of the
second phase of the expansion in the second half of fiscal 2008, our headquarters office complex will be approximately
625,000 owned square feet.
Facilities in Edmonton, Alberta; Danville, Illinois; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Peterborough, Ontario
(which in the aggregate accounted for approximately 3.9% of fiscal 2007 sales) are operating near capacity and we are
currently constructing expansions or replacements for these distribution facilities. We are also constructing new
distribution facilities in Knoxville, Tennessee and Longview, Texas. We are constructing our second redistribution facility
in Alachua, Florida and expect it to be operational in fiscal 2008. We have also purchased the site of its third redistribution
facility to be built in Hamlet, Indiana.
As of June 30, 2007, our fleet of approximately 9,300 delivery vehicles consisted of tractor and trailer combinations, vans
and panel trucks, most of which are either wholly or partially refrigerated for the transportation of frozen or perishable
foods. We own approximately 87% of these vehicles and lease the remainder.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
We are engaged in various legal proceedings which have arisen in the normal course of business but have not been fully
adjudicated. These proceedings, in our opinion, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial
position or results of operations when ultimately concluded.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.
