    "detail": "SG&A expenses are growing faster than sales, increasing as a percentage of net sales. This is attributed to the deleveraging of fixed costs against slower comparable store sales, indicating a strong need for cost control, productivity improvements, and automation to improve operating leverage.",

The increase in SG&A as a percent of net sales was primarily attributable to deleverage of fixed costs given the comparable store sales performance and an accelerated new store opening cadence, partially offset by an ongoing focus on productivity and cost discipline.",
