Vested Interest:
Understanding A
World Of Opportunity
Still Exists.
International Sales Were
Over $56 Billion Last Year.
Over 1,500 stores. Over 18% annual growth. And we’re just getting started. There’s
hundreds of billions of dollars in opportunity to pursue and many new markets to explore.
Here’s the greatest part of the story: we look different in every market – the United Kingdom,
Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Mexico, China, South Korea and Canada. We also
hold a minority interest in Seiyu, a Japanese retailer. Our growth is about what it’s always
been about – understanding what the customer wants in each of these markets. If this
sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve found that our three basic beliefs – respecting the
individual, servicing our customers and striving for excellence – travel amazingly well.
