Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

Divestitures

Discontinued operations are related to stores that were sold or terminated, that we have entered into an agreement to sell or terminate, or for which we otherwise deem a proposed sales transaction or termination to be probable, with no material changes expected. Generally, the sale of a store is completed within 60 to 90 days after the date of a sale agreement. We have accounted for a store that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale as a discontinued operation if (a) the operations and cash flows of the store were eliminated from our ongoing operations and (b) we had no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the store after the disposal transaction.

In evaluating whether a store’s cash flows were eliminated from our ongoing operations, we considered whether we expected to continue to generate revenues or incur expenses from the sale of similar products or services to customers of the disposed store in the same geographic market. If we believed that a significant portion of the cash flows previously generated by the disposed store had migrated to our other operating stores, we did not treat the disposition as a discontinued operation.
