Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which may be covered by insurance. We establish an accrual for legal proceedings if and when those matters reach a stage where they present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. We monitor those matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, thereof, and adjust the amount as appropriate. If the loss contingency at issue is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual, but will continue to monitor the matter for developments that could make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. If there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss will occur, we will provide disclosure regarding the contingency. Assessments of legal proceedings can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on many different estimates and assumptions. The categories of legal proceedings in which we are involved may include multiple lawsuits and claims, may be spread across multiple jurisdictions and courts which may handle the lawsuits and claims differently, may involve numerous and different types of plaintiffs, and raise claims and damages based on specific allegations that may not apply to other matters. These and other factors contribute to the complexity of these legal proceedings and make it difficult for us to predict outcomes and make reasonable estimates of any resulting losses or ranges of possibles losses, which is further complicated by the fact that a resolution of one or more matters may impact the resolution of other matters in terms of timing, amount of liability, or both. Unfavorable rulings, developments, or settlements could result in charges substantially in excess of amounts currently accrued, including for matters for which no accruals are currently recorded because losses are not currently probable or reasonably estimable. Based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances, we do not currently believe our legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and the matters disclosed below could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a future period. On January 30 and March 28, 2025, respectively, two federal securities class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California against Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. and certain of its former officers purportedly on behalf of purchasers of our common stock, which were later consolidated into one lawsuit (the "2025 Class Action"). The 2025 Class Action alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material adverse facts regarding our transition to new and upgraded internal systems. The 2025 Class Action seeks remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including an undisclosed amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and other costs. The lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint on August 19, 2025, and the Company filed its motion to dismiss on October 21, 2025. Briefing on the Company’s motion to dismiss was completed on January 30, 2026. The hearing on the Company’s motion to dismiss scheduled for March 19, 2026 was vacated and the matter is now submitted on the briefs. On April 28 and May 2, 2025, respectively, two federal stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and one of its former officers purportedly on behalf of the Company, which were later consolidated into one lawsuit (the "2025 Derivative Lawsuit"). The 2025 Derivative Lawsuit alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, based on similar allegations to those at issue in the 2025 Class Action. The 2025 Derivative Lawsuit seeks, among other relief, undisclosed damages, restitution, fees and other costs, and the institution of corporate governance reforms. On July 29, 2025, the court stayed the 2025 Derivative Lawsuit pending resolution of the Company's motion to dismiss the 2025 Class Action. On March 20 and March 26, 2026, two additional stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery and U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, respectively, against certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers purportedly on behalf of the Company, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty and related claims based on substantially the same allegations as the 2025 Class Action and the 2025 Derivative Lawsuit. On April 17, 2026, the U.S. District Court action was dismissed without prejudice. On March 16, 2026, a separate federal securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of its current officers purportedly on behalf of purchasers of our common stock (the "2026 Class Action"). The 2026 Class Action alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements and/or failing to disclose material adverse facts regarding the Company’s growth strategy, financial performance, and the effectiveness of its restructuring plan, and seeks remedies under the Exchange Act, including an undisclosed amount of monetary damages, interest, fees and other costs. On April 13, 2026, a federal stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California against certain of the Company’s current directors and officers purportedly on behalf of the Company, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty and related claims based on similar allegations to those at issue in the 2026 Class Action. We intend to defend the above securities and derivative lawsuits vigorously. Due to the stages of these proceedings and the lack of specific damages requests, we have currently determined the above lawsuits do not present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable and, further, we are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses for such lawsuits.
