Assets Held For Sale and Net Gain On Disposition [Abstract]
Assets Held for Sale and Net Gain on Disposition	4. Assets Held for Sale and Net Gain on Disposition We have certain assets that we have designated as assets held for sale. At the time of designation, we ceased recognizing depreciation expense on these assets. As of April 5, 2014, and January 4, 2014, total assets held for sale were $2.6 million and were included in “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014 we did not sell any real properties classified as held for sale.  However, we recognized an additional gain related to our Fremont, California location during the first quarter of 2014 of approximately $0.2 million. The gain was related to proceeds previously held in an escrow account for certain environmental remediation procedures. We continue to actively market all properties that are designated as held for sale.
