Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 10. Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate was 38.5% for the thirteen weeks ended November 29, 2014, as compared to 38.9% for the thirteen weeks ended November 30, 2013. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods. During the thirteen weeks ended November 29, 2014, there were no material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits or the amount accrued for interest and penalties. U.S. and Canadian federal income tax statutes have lapsed for filings up to and including fiscal years 2010 and 2006, respectively, and the Company recently concluded an audit of U.S. federal income taxes for 2010 and 2011. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for periods prior to fiscal 2009. The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months.
