Aisle 3 Business Operation
Aisle 3 is a division of publicly-traded Filenes Basement Corp., operating a
concept totally different from Filenes Basement stores you may have visited in
greater Chicagoland.
Following a format that has been successful in the home store, automotive, men's
apparel and others, Aisle 3 is open weekends only—the time frame during which
most people like to shop. To support its high volume, low overhead and lowest
price merchandise guarantee, Aisle 3 locates in warehouse-type facilities in
generally non-retail type locations. As such, it is traffic friendly, generating most
of its business in time frames when the area is otherwise underutilized.
Operating from 75,000 square foot stores,Aisle 3 intends to be the dominant
retailer of women's suits, dresses and related separates, of men's suits, sport coats
and slacks, and of shoes. It also carries a complimentary home furnishing and
jewelry section. During seasonal periods, it will be a major outerwear retailer.
Tailoring for both men and women is done on premises.
All merchandise is first quality purchased directly in season. Unlike off-price and
outlets stores which purchase end of season, closeouts, irregulars and overruns,
Aisle 3 will offer the same department store merchandise in full color, size and
style as and when the departments stores do.
With four stores open and operating, we are better able to explain the practicalities
of store operation. Each store is currently open Friday from 10:00 a.m to 9:00
p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Sunday from either 10:00 a.m. or
12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. Hours will ultimately be set by customer demand. Staff
levels are approximately 20 management, including department heads,plus 25 to
30 employees on each of two weekend shifts.
One a day truck deliveries are expected with no supplemental UPS/FedEx
shipping.

FROM: Donald M. O'Hara
Principal
DATE: April 7, 1999
SUBJECT: Internal Vehicular/Pedestrian Circulation
Aisle 3
Buffalo Grove, Illinois
As requested, a review and evaluation of internal vehicular/pedestrian circulation was completed for
the proposed Aisle 3 in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. The existing site, which contains a Computer
Discount Warehouse, is located within the northeast quadrant of the Lake-Cook Road and Hastings
Drive intersection. Since this site provides an existing access system and patron/employee parking
spaces, the evaluation concentrated on-site vehicular/pedestrian circulation.
Based on traffic volume data published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers in the Trip
Generation Manual, 6th Edition, the peak demand for the subject (Aisle 3) land use will occur on
a Saturday. The overall site(101,400 square feet) including the Computer Discount Warehouse will
generate approximately 2,533 inbound and 2,533 outbound trips on a Saturday. The weekday
(Monday through Friday)trip generation is approximately 2,176 inbound and 2,176 outbound trips.
The next item was to determine the peak hour of traffic flow on site. Retail land uses have been
thoroughly evaluated from a traffic and parking generation standpoint. Table 1 lists the hourly
percentage of daily traffic to/from the retail land use.

9:00 to 10:00 P.M. 2.9 73 0.8 20
The data listed in Table 1 indicates that the highest traffic flow hour on site occurs between 2:00 and
3:00 P.M. Therefore, if we evaluate the vehicular/pedestrian flow during the highest traffic hour
then the remaining hours of lesser vehicular/pedestrian volume flow would operate at a better level
of service.
During the peak hour there could be 314 vehicles desiring to park and 304 vehicles unparking.
Given the maenitude of vehicles parking, unparking and circulating on-site, significant pedestrian
flow can be expected within the parking lot. With pedestrian flow predominantly north-south and
vehicular circulation east-west, several pedestrian/vehicular conflict points can be expected within
the parking lot during the peak traffic flow hour.
Since the prime parking area exists today, it will be important to develop a signing program that
identifies on-site pedestrian movement to vehicular traffic. The following represents our
recommendations relative to The Jenkins Group plan dated March 5, 1999:
2
1. Provide an advance pedestrian crossing sign (W1 IA-2)' to alert drivers of
pedestrians crossing the travel way. The sign should be located on the
southeast side of the main entrance to the site approximately 150 feet east of
Hasting Drive.
2. Since a majority of the parking bays run east/west each parking space is a
potential vehicular/pedestrian conflict point. As such, providing striped
pedestrian cross walks is not recommended.
3. Consideration should be given to the parking area adjacent to the front of the
building. Patrons normally desire to park as close to the store entrance as
possible. As such, these spaces would be very desirable to patrons and may
cause undue congestion in front of the building due to the lack of circulation
from parking bay to parking bay. Therefore, we recommend that these
parking areas near the store entrance be the location of the handicapped
parking spaces, which are typically low turnover.
4. On days when peak sales are expected, the access drive that leads to the front
of the store should be barricaded to direct traffic down the northernmost aisle.
This recommendation will reduce vehicular traffic along the front of the
building during the peak demand time periods.
5. The parking area on the west side of the building should be considered for
employee parking only: This parking area has the potential (due to close
proximity to the store) of creating significant vehicular conflicts. This could
be reduced simply by a sign indicating employee parking only.
6. A sidewalk leading to/from the overflow parking area should be considered.
The sidewalk should be located adjacent to the driveway leading from the
main parking area.
7. A stop sign to control traffic should be erected at each driveway exiting the
site to Hastings Drive.
S. The site should be monitored at six months and one year after opening to
observe on-site activity and make appropriate changes if necessary to provide
a safe and efficient access, internal circulation system and parking plan.
'Signs from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways.
3
In summary, with the previous recommendations, the proposed land user of the subject site should
accommodate the estimated traffic demand safely and efficiently. However, since very little data
is available for this land user (Aisle 3), we would recommend that the site be monitored at six
months and one year for possible modifications.
