ahnuld, would you outline your thought process how you arrive at this number? Not that I doubt it, but it would be cool if I was able to make such a calculation myself.
What I find in the annual report is that they have 247 stores where they own the buildings and the land. In the balance sheet they list the land value at 68 million (which of course is undervalued).
It just seems like a huge task to research the true value of each of these 247 parcels. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.
Also I think weatrich is right that nobody would be interested in buying the buildings, which basically means that the buildings would have to be demolished. With 247 building and assumed costs of 2 million per building (just a wild guess) we come to 0.5 billion in total costs, which is significant.
