The poor store performance is not taking place in one specificgeographical region, said Steven Lightman, president and CEO. "Oneday stores in this area are doing great, on another day stores inthis area do great," he said. "It's not as easy as saying,'Everything should be in the Northeast quadrant of the US oreverything should be on the West Coast.'"

When asked by an analyst about potential stores closures,Lightman said that there are no such plans currently in the works."We're waiting to get through the holiday season to see how thestores perform on a 12-month rolling basis, and then we're going tosit down and make those decisions," he said.

Over Thanksgiving weekend, same-store sales came in flat,Ligthman said. New products such as digital picture frames,Bluetooth-enabled devices, gaming chairs and others have helpedgive sales a recent lift, he says.
