Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	16. Subsequent Events As major flooding and power outages devastated the Southeast region of the United States in late September 2024, many Ingles locations were forced to cease operations, some for an extended period, and some of the inventory at the Company’s warehouse and some of its stores was damaged or destroyed. The Company notified the insurance carrier of the loss immediately and submitted an insurance claim for damages and interruption of business at the Company’s distribution center in November 2024. The final amount of the claim is currently being assessed and the timing and exact amount of insurance proceeds remain uncertain. The Company did not recognize an asset for the insurance recovery receivable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2024, because recovery was not yet deemed probable. The Company will continue to monitor the claims process and will adjust its impact on financials statements accordingly in future periods.

The entire disclosure for significant events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Examples include: the sale of a capital stock issue, purchase of a business, settlement of litigation, catastrophic loss, significant foreign exchange rate changes, loans to insiders or affiliates, and transactions not in the ordinary course of business.
