As used in this Prospectus, the term "Orchard Holding" refers to Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the term "Orchard Supply" refers to its wholly owned subsidiary, Orchard Supply Hardware Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "Company" and "Orchard" refer to Orchard Holding and Orchard Supply and its predecessor company. Unless otherwise indicated, as used in this Prospectus all references to a fiscal year shall mean the fiscal year of the Company which commences in such year (for example, the fiscal year commencing January 27, 1992 and ending January 31, 1993 is referred to herein as fiscal 1992). THE COMPANY Orchard, founded in 1931, operates 43 hardware superstores which average approximately 40,000 square feet of interior and exterior selling space. All of the Company's current stores are located in Northern and Central California. Orchard primarily targets the "fix-it" homeowner focused on repair and maintenance projects and is positioned in a unique niche between small, high- priced independent hardware retailers and large warehouse home center chains. Orchard strives to offer the service and convenience of a "mom and pop" hardware store and a greater depth and breadth of "fix-it" products in its core product categories than the large warehouse home center chains. Orchard's business strategy is to provide a broad merchandise selection, outstanding service, convenient, well organized stores and fair everyday pricing, thereby encouraging its customers to perceive Orchard as the primary destination for their "fix-it" needs. Broad Selection. Orchard offers a wide selection of brand name and private label merchandise, including many products not carried by its competitors, in its core areas of hardware, plumbing, electrical and garden and nursery. Orchard's stores carry approximately 45,000 stock keeping units ("SKUs") and maintain a high in stock position (98% on average) to ensure the availability of its merchandise to customers. This breadth of selection contrasts with the Company's warehouse competitors, which typically carry only 25,000 to 33,000 SKUs. High Levels of Customer Service. The Company is committed to furnishing outstanding levels of customer service through knowledgeable, well trained personnel and a number of value-added services. These services include pick-up stations at each location, a proprietary credit card and "how-to" fairs. Convenient, Well Organized Stores. Orchard currently operates 43 conveniently located stores. Orchard stores have low profile shelving, descriptive signs and efficient check-out stations which provide customers an attractive shopping environment and the ability to get in and out of the store quickly. The Company's stores follow a standard merchandise layout and maintain a consistent appearance. Value Pricing. The Company provides the customer with value through a combination of broad merchandise selection, outstanding service, convenient, well organized stores and fair everyday pricing. Fair everyday pricing entails competitive pricing on high visibility, high volume products and higher margins Copyright © 2012 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved.
