I think our next question comes from Ivy Jack with Barclays Capital.

Thanks. Great quarter, guys. Can you talk about kind of the cost impact from having a larger mix of consumables, kind of on your infrastructure and how you’re going about managing that as we see consumables become a larger percentage of the mix?

Howard R. Levine

I would say, we’ve managed through, you’ve seen our consumables business be strong for some time now and we’ve paced that growth in shifts toward consumables as we manage our cost structure. So clearly there are some costs as that shift occurs when you, through distribution costs etc. that can be different with those slightly higher mix.

But we’ve managed that well, planned for it well I think and have that well planned into our core expense plans.

Can you just remind us how many more stores, or how much more capacity you have in your current distribution network.

R. James Kelly

I think that number flexes depending upon how the assortment continues to shift. One of the things that Ken was implying but didn’t specifically mention, you get in many of the consumable areas a lot of cross-stocking opportunities that really change the dynamics of our distribution center.

So, in theory we have many opportunities to become more cost efficient during this shift. Indeed, we have a number of our teammates working on the concept of lean retailing in the store. From an overall capacity perspective we’re not seeing the addition of a DC in the near-term.

Shifting gears a little bit, I think Ken mentioned that the comps for consumables was around about 11%, is there any way to give us a sense of kind of what food was, was it higher or to get a sense of the impact of increased food stamp benefits.

Kenneth T. Smith

We saw certainly food was strong. We probably aren’t going to be that granular as to breaking down the consumables but certainly the growth of food stamps has, we’ve seen some strong benefits there. So food was strong and is a key part of that consumables number that you’re seeing.
