Leases and Rental Expense [Abstract] |
Leases and Rental Expense | 5. Leases and Rental Expense The Company conducts part of its retail operations from leased facilities. The initial term of the leases is generally 20 years. The majority of the leases include one or more renewal options and provide that the Company pay property taxes, utilities, repairs and certain other costs incidental to occupation of the premises. Several leases contain clauses calling for percentage rentals based upon gross sales of the supermarket occupying the leased space. Step rent provisions, escalation clauses, capital improvements and other lease concessions are taken into account in computing lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Operating Leases - Rent expense for all operating leases of $10.6 million, $10.9 million and $11.1 million for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is included in operating and administrative expenses. This amount included short-term (less than one year) leases, common area expenses, and variable lease costs, all of which are insignificant. Cash paid for lease liabilities in operating activities approximates operating lease cost. Sub-lease rental income of $0.3 million for each of fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, is included as a reduction of rental expense. Finance Leases – Finance lease cost of $270.7 thousand included amortization expense of $231.3 thousand, included in operating and administrative expense, and $87.2 thousand of interest expense for fiscal year 2023. No finance lease cost was incurred during fiscal years 2022 and 2021. Future maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023 were as follows:
