The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on its stores in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. The Company believes approximately 200 Dollar General stores are currently closed in these states, mostly as a result of power outages. Some of these stores may have been permanently destroyed, although the Company is not yet in a position to make that determination. Dollar General intends to work quickly to reopen or relocate affected stores where possible and to resume meeting the needs of customers in those communities.
