Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS ﻿ We are currently a party to leases for certain f acilities where the lessor is a former officer of Monro or a family member of such former officer, or such former officer or family member has an interest in entities that are lessors. Six leases were assumed in March 2004 in connection with the Mr. Tire Acquisition, as well as one additional lease entered into during the year ended March 26, 2016. In March 2015, Monro purchased the property and building of one of these leased locations from this same former officer of Monro and a family member of such former officer for approximately $1.0 million. The payments under such operating and capital leases amounte d to $754,000, $711,000 and $717,000 for the fiscal years ended March 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These payments are comparable to rents paid to u nrelated parties. No amounts were payable at March 25, 2017 or March 26, 2016. No related party leases exist, other than these six leases, and no new leases are contemplated. ﻿ For many years, we had a consulting agreement with an investment banking firm associated with a principal shareholder/director of Monro to provide financial advice. In recent years, the agreement provided for an annual fee of $300,000, plus reimbursem ent of out-of-pocket expenses. Under this agreement, we incurred fees of $225,000 and $300,000 during the years ended March 26, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. No amount was payable at March 26, 2016. Approximately half of all payments made to the investment banking firm under the consulting agreement were paid to another principal shareholder/director of Monro. In addition, this investment banking firm, from time to time, has provided other investment banking services to us for additional fees. During fiscal year 2016, with approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors (excluding the Director associated with this firm), we paid additional fees of $1,000,000 to this firm in connection with financial and strategic advisory services that were provided related to three unsuccessful acquisitions. In connection with making this payment, we negotiated that the aforementioned consulting agreement would end.
