Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
CONTINGENCIES	CONTINGENCIES Litigation Matters The Company is involved in litigation and other matters incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Guarantees The Company partially guarantees loans made to IOs by Bank of America for the purchase of routes. The outstanding balance of loans guaranteed that were issued by Bank of America was $67.5 million and $69.5 million at March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively, which loans are accounted for as off balance sheet arrangements. As discussed in Note 6. Notes Receivable, the Company also sold notes receivable on its books to Bank of America during thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, which the Company partially guarantees. The outstanding balance of notes purchased by Bank of America at both March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025 was $12.5 million. Due to the structure of the transactions, the sales did not qualify for sale accounting treatment, and as such the Company records the notes payable obligation owed by the IOs to the financial institution on its Consolidated Balance Sheets; the corresponding notes receivable also remain in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance on the first day of each calendar year plus 25% of the amount of any new loans issued during such calendar year. Additionally, the Company guarantees loans for the purchase of routes made by one other bank. The outstanding balance of these loans was $0.6 million and $1.3 million at March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively, all of which was included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively. The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees equates to 25% of the outstanding loan balance. All of the above IO loans are collateralized by the routes for which the loans are made. Accordingly, the Company has the ability to recover substantially all of the outstanding loan value upon default.
