Construction Update: The new timeline for the new store #3 in Chapel Hill North has been <br />extended another 30 days because of the issues early on in the construction. The timeline remains within <br />the original contract completion date in early May. It also stays within the lease for the current space that <br />expires June 30, 2015. The concrete foundation has been started and is 75% complete. The next step is <br />the road work on Perkins Drive and also utility work on the site followed by the structural steel. Rock <br />continues to be encountered at every turn slowing the process and incurring more cost for removal. <br /> b.
