Restructuring Costs [Abstract] |
Restructuring Costs | Note 9. Restructuring Costs Enhanced Customer Support Model In the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company announced an enhanced customer support model, including a transition from the branch office network to virtual customer care hubs. Along with this transition, the Company closed 73 branch offices and realigned certain existing locations from branch offices to regional inventory centers. Restructuring costs for the thirteen- week period ended February 27, 2021 consist of impairment charges for operating lease assets, associate severance and separation costs, and other exit-related costs. Optimization of Company Operations Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the Company identified opportunities for improvements in its workforce realignment, strategy, and staffing, and increased its focus on performance management, to ensure it has the right skillsets and number of associates to execute its long-term vision. Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company engaged consultants to assist in reviewing the optimization of the Company’s operations. As such, the Company extended voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates in fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021 in order to facilitate its workforce realignment. This project is expected to continue through fiscal year 2021. The following table summarizes restructuring costs for both projects listed above:
