Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax expense of $3.2 million related to loss before taxes of $13.0 million for the three months ended December 29, 2024. We recorded an income tax expense of $0.2 million related to income before taxes of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 24, 2023. The effective
income tax rate for the three months ended December 29, 2024, was 25.0%. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 24, 2023, was 16.7%.

The primary differences between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% are because of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, changes in valuation allowance, and adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions, including any related interest.

We file a consolidated federal tax return, as well as combined and separate tax returns in approximately 30 state and local jurisdictions. We do not currently have any federal or material state income tax examinations in progress. Our income tax returns have generally been audited or closed to audit through 2016.
