Business and Summary of Accounting Policies	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for fiscal year end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2014 (Commission File No. 1-11084) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2014.
	Due to the seasonality of our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. In addition, quarterly results of operations may be impacted by the timing and amount of sales and costs associated with the opening of new stores.
	We operate as a single business unit.
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.  This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  We are required to adopt the new pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 using one of two retrospective application methods. We are evaluating the application method and the impact of this new statement on our financial statements.

	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following pricing categories:
	Level 1:		Financial instruments with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.
	Level 2:		Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
	Level 3:		Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
	The following table summarizes our financial instruments:
				August 2, 2014				February 1, 2014				August 3, 2013
		Pricing Category		Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
				(In Millions)
	Cash and cash equivalents	Level 1		$	746	$	746	$	971	$	971	$	592	$	592

	Debt	Level 1		2,792		3,102		2,792		2,988		2,492		2,663
	Our investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”) are included in other long-term assets in our balance sheet. There have been no changes to the valuation methodology since February 1, 2014. On July 30, 2014, $20 million of auction rate securities were called at par and were subsequently settled on August 13, 2014.
