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 leased 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 $7.4 million, $9.7 million and $10.6 million for fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, is included in operating and administrative expenses. These amounts included short-term (less than one year) leases, common area expenses, and variable lease costs, all of which were insignificant. Cash paid for lease liabilities in operating activities approximates operating lease cost.
