The campaign was moved to September of this year to better coincide with our fall selling season. Our sales in the last week of August, which were not effected by the 2005 promotional campaign, rebounded to a positive mid-single digit increase. In addition, our customers have reacted favorably to our fall sportswear and dress assortments." The Company also noted that it opened 1 Cache store and closed 1 Lillie Rubin store in August. The Company currently operates 273 Cache and 28 Lillie Rubin locations.
