In April 2021, we opened a third distribution center located in Joplin, Missouri (see Note [7](#i3cfc159a75864f3dabb1b01b246f16cb_97) for discussion of ownership structure).

As part of the acquisition of Fikes in the prior year we acquired a fuel terminal, located in Waco Texas, and office space, located in Temple, Texas.\n\nAs of April 30, 2026, we leased a combination of land and/or building at 241 store locations. Most of the leases provide for the payment of a fixed rent plus property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. Generally, the leases are for terms of ten to twenty years with options to renew for additional periods or options to purchase the leased premises at the end of the lease period. The Company owns the land and building at all of our other store locations. Additionally, the Company regularly has land held for development, land under construction for new stores, and land held for sale as a result of store closures."}
