Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events [Text Block] | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to February 1, 2020 and through March 17, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares for approximately $13.8 million. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), on March 17, 2020, the Company announced the temporary closure of all of our stores across the U.S. and Canada as of the end of business on March 17, 2020, through March 31, 2020. During this temporary closure, the Company will continue to serve our customers through our e-commerce sites located at www.childrensplace.com and www.gymboree.com. The Company will work with government and health officials to assess when we will reopen our stores. Additionally, in response to the continuing uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) and the temporary store closures, we have implemented strategic cost reduction strategies, including the reduction of capital expenditures, across all functional areas. Inventory management will continue to be a strategic focus for the Company. Further, our capital return program, inclusive of share repurchases and dividends, has been temporarily suspended. The Company maintains strong, long-term relationships with its vendors, landlords, and banking partners, which helps support our ability to navigate these challenging times. We cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, but we currently anticipate a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in Fiscal 2020.
