NEWS RELEASE


TRANS WORLD ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Net Loss Reduced By 54%

          Albany, NY, August 18, 2011 — Trans World Entertainment Corporation (Nasdaq: TWMC) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended July 30, 2011. For the second quarter of 2011, the Company reported an $8.5 million or 54% reduction in its net loss to $7.3 million, or $0.23 per share, as compared to a net loss of $15.8 million or $0.50 per share for the same period last year.

          For the second quarter, total sales decreased 20% to $108.0 million compared to $135.8 million in 2010. Comparable store sales for the quarter decreased 6%. During the quarter, the Company operated an average of 442 stores compared to 538 stores last year, an 18% decline.

          Gross profit for the quarter was $40.0 million or 37.0% of sales as compared to $45.7 million or 33.7% of sales for the same period last year. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was due to higher margin rates across all product categories and the leveraging of distribution and freight expenses primarily due to the closing of a distribution center in Carson, California last year.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 22% for the quarter to $44.8 million or 41.5% of sales, compared to $57.8 million, or 42.5% of sales in the comparable period last year. The reduction in SG&A expenses was due to the closing of underperforming stores and continued effective expense management.

          Total sales for the twenty-six week period ended July 30, 2011 decreased 18% to $239.5 million, compared to $292.3 million in 2010. Comparable store sales for the twenty-six week period ended July 30, 2011 decreased 4%. Net loss for the twenty-six week period improved $17.4 million, or 64%, to $9.8 million or $0.31 per share versus $27.2 million or $0.87 per share last year.

          Cash on hand at the end of the quarter was $22.5 million compared to $10.5 million in 2010. The Company has not had any borrowings under its line of credit this year.

          Trans World will host a teleconference call today, Thursday, August 18, 2011, at 10:00 AM ET to discuss its financial results. Interested parties can listen to the simultaneous webcast on the Company’s corporate website, www.twec.com.

          Trans World Entertainment is a leading specialty retailer of entertainment software, including music, video and video games and related products.
