We take pride in these first quarter results as they demonstrate how our teams continue to work to strategically grow our gross margin rate and prudently manage expenses without sacrificing customer service amid the near-term uncertain macroeconomic challenges. We are focused on continuing to grow our market share by opening new warehouse-format stores, capitalizing on our everyday low prices and value-driven options, trend-right product assortments, in-stock job lot quantities, and exceptional customer service.”

Mr. Taylor continued, “We have a busy fiscal 2024 second quarter store opening plan, including opening in Brooklyn, New York. We remain focused on managing our profitability in the short run while at the same time continuing to make long-term growth investments toward our plan to operate 500 warehouse-format stores in the United States over time.”
