Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
Property, Plant and Equipment Disclosure [Text Block]	3. Property and Equipment In 2012, the Company initiated a turnaround plan that includes the closure of a number of stores. The Company considers a more likely than not assessment that an individual location will close as a triggering event to review the store asset group for recoverability. As a result of these quarterly reviews in fiscal 2013, it was determined that certain stores would not be able to recover the carrying value of store leasehold improvements through expected undiscounted cash flows over the shortened remaining life of the related assets. Accordingly, the carrying value of the assets was reduced to fair value, calculated as the estimated future cash flows for each asset group, and asset impairment charges of $-0- and $0.6 million were recorded in the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2013, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as a component of loss before income taxes in the Retail segment. The inputs used to determine the fair value of the assets are Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC section 820-10. Any remaining net book value is depreciated over the shortened expected life. The thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2012, included similar impairment charges of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
