Store Closing Costs

There were no closures of underperforming stores that resulted in material store closing costs during fiscal 2017 and 2015.

The Company closed five underperforming stores in fiscal 2016 which were not relocated. The store closing costs primarily included lease termination costs for leases that were set to expire in fiscal years 2017 through 2019, and the net reduction to store closing costs in fiscal 2017 reflects the early termination of two store leases that resulted in settlement of their lease obligations for less than the amounts originally recorded. The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s store closing reserves:
