Following Hurricane Rita, two Catherines Plus Sizes stores and two Lane Bryant stores remain closed, and are expected to reopen in the near future, pending restoration of power and other resources. The Company's assessment is that the impact of hurricane activity in the Gulf Coast region was not material to the Company's September sales performance.
On July 7, 2005, Charming Shoppes Inc announced that, beginning with next year's first fiscal quarter, the Company will commence reporting consolidated sales and comparative store sales on a quarterly basis, and will discontinue reporting consolidated sales and comparative store sales on a monthly basis.
