Store Closing Reserve

3. Store Closing Reserve

From time to time and in the normal course of business, we evaluate our store base to determine if we need to close a store. Such evaluations include consideration of, among other factors, current and future expected profitability, market trends, age of store and lease status.

Amounts in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2013 included accruals for the net present value of future minimum lease payments, net of estimated sublease income, attributable to closed or relocated stores. Expenses related to store closings are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following table provides a roll-forward of our store closing reserve:
