NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases its retail stores, distribution center and corporate and administrative office facilities under operating lease agreements which expire through June 2027. Stores range in size from small stores of only 1,000 sq.ft. to larger stores of up to 5,200 sq.ft.  Store leases typically provide for an initial lease term of three to four years, while certain leases have terms of up to ten years. Certain leases have provisions calling for percentage rent, in addition to base rent, once sales exceed a minimum threshold.  However, the Company believes that the minimum thresholds in such leases exceed the level of sales expected to be generated by the stores during the term of the lease.  Certain leases also contain renewal options, but such options are not recognized by the Company as part of its right-of-use assets or lease liabilities because the Company does not believe it is reasonably certain it will exercise such options, due to the uncertainty of future store financial performance or the ability of the property to generate sufficient customer traffic.  Operating lease expense was $2,212,000 and $1,674,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
