Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 21, 2007, we issued a press release discussing our results of operations and financial condition for our fiscal quarter ended May 5, 2007. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99 hereto.





Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 21, 2007, we initiated a restructuring of our operations that includes a 12% reduction in our salaried workforce, a consolidation of our distribution operations into a single warehouse facility, the closure of our two outlet stores and other cost saving measures with the intent of simplifying our structure by streamlining the corporate organization and reducing operating costs. We expect these changes to generate on-going, annualized savings of more than $10 million. These reductions, which were announced May 21, 2007 at our Eden Prairie headquarters, are being implemented immediately.

We expect to incur restructuring charges of $2 - $3 million as a result of these actions. We expect $1.7 million of these expenditures to relate to employee termination costs, $160,000 of these expenditures to relate to employee retention costs and $350,000 of these expenditures to relate to the closing of our Eden Prairie, MN distribution center, all of which will be cash expenditures. We also anticipate that $275,000 of these charges to relate to asset write downs related to the closing of two outlet stores, which will be a non-cash expense. We also expect to incur approximately $930,000 in cash expenses relating to capital investments in our Bowling Green, KY distribution center. We expect there to be no other significant cash costs and no other non-cash impairment costs associated with this restructuring initiative.





Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

The information provided in Item 2.05 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.06. We estimated our impairment charges in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets."

On May 21, 2007, we issued a press release announcing that our board of directors has authorized a new stock repurchase program. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated by reference herein.
