Financial Summary
CULS operates 11 mid-sized warehouse club-style stores, offering high-quality U.S. and local goods, primarily in Caribbean and Pacific island markets. For the 26 weeks ended 7/01/01, revenues fell less than 1% to $88.4 million. Net income totaled $182 thousand, vs. a loss of $5.8 million.
