Item 2. Properties We operated 263 warehouse club locations as of January 31, 2026, of which 210 are leased under long-term leases and 30 are owned. We own the buildings at the remaining 23 locations, which are subject to long-term ground leases. A listing of the number of Company locations in each state is shown under “Part I. Item 1. Business.” The Company’s leases require long-term rental payments subject to various adjustments. Generally, the Company is required to pay insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses and, in some cases, additional rentals based on a percentage of sales in excess of certain thresholds, or other factors. Many of the leases require escalating payments during the lease term. The initial primary term of the Company’s operating leases for properties ranges from 2 years to 44 years, with most of these leases having an initial primary term of approximately 20 years. The initial primary term of the Company’s finance leases for properties is 20 years. 30 Our home office, located in Marlborough, Massachusetts, is referred to as our “Club Support Center” and occupies a total of 188,000 square feet.
