On  February  24, 2000, Gottschalks Inc. issued a  press  release               
announcing (1) record sales and earnings for fiscal 1999, and (2)               
the initiation of a stock repurchase program. With respect to the               
stock repurchase program, the press release stated the following:               

The  Company's  Board of Directors has  authorized  the               
Company   to   repurchase  up  to   $2.0   million   of               
Gottschalks'  common  stock over the  next  12  months.               
Under    this   authorization,   which   is   effective               
immediately, the Company may purchase shares from  time               
to  time in the open market or in private transactions,               
depending on market price and other considerations. The               
repurchases  will be funded from working capital.   Any               
shares  repurchased initially will be held as  treasury               
shares and may be used in connection with the Company's               
stock  option  program and for other general  corporate               
purposes, including acquisitions.                                     

Pursuant  to  the  requirements of the Securities  Exchange         
Act  of  1934, the registrant has duly caused this report  to  be               
signed   on   its  behalf  by  the  undersigned  thereunto   duly               
authorized.
