Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $(8,640) on pre-tax loss of $(26,911) during the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025, which represented an effective income tax rate of 32.1% and an income tax expense of $2,358 on pre-tax loss of $(101,567) during the 13 weeks ended July 27, 2024, which represented an effective income tax rate of (2.3)%. The effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2025 is higher than the prior year comparable period due to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) 382 limitation on attribute utilization, increased projections of taxable income, and decrease in the valuation allowance.
In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considered whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would be realized. As of August 2, 2025, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would not realize all deferred tax assets and the Company's tax rate for the current fiscal year reflects this determination. The Company will continue to evaluate this position.
Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a cumulative change in the Company's ownership by “5-percent shareholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating losses and certain other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income and taxes may be limited. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. As a result of the Rights Offering, Backstop Commitment, Private Investment, and Term Loan Debt Conversion completed on June 10, 2024, we may have experienced an ownership change as defined by Sections 382 and 383. The Company conducted a study to determine if an ownership change occurred. It was determined that an ownership change occurred under Section 382 and 383, and the corresponding annual limitations materially impacts the utilization of the Company's tax attributes including its $211,913 NOL carryforwards, $60,195 disallowed interest expense carryforwards, and $1,071 tax credit carryforwards as of May 3, 2025. The Company anticipates that $63,092 of these tax attributes may be made available during the first five years following the ownership change on June 10, 2024, which would be able to offset future taxable income.
