Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is exposed to claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business and uses various methods to resolve these matters that are believed to best serve the interests of the Company’s stakeholders. The Company’s primary contingencies are associated with self-insurance obligations and litigation matters. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgment and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Company’s current provisions for loss. The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it determines that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. However, predicting the outcomes of legal matters involves substantial uncertainties. While management currently believes that estimated liabilities recorded are reasonable and not material to the Company, differences in actual outcomes or changes in management's evaluation of estimated liabilities could arise that could be material to the Company's results of operations. Litigation Harvest Sherwood In February 2025, the Company terminated its agreement with Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors, Inc. (“Harvest Sherwood”) for the distribution of certain meat and seafood products to the Company due to, among other things, Harvest Sherwood’s failure to pay the Company’s vendors for these products. Subsequently, on February 24, 2025, Harvest Sherwood filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware alleging breach of contract among other claims and seeking monetary damages of approximately $42.0 million. On March 6, 2025, the Company filed an answer and counterclaims against Harvest Sherwood, asserting its defenses to the complaint and its claims against Harvest Sherwood for breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, among others, and seeking monetary damages of approximately $65.0 million. On May 5, 2025, Harvest Sherwood filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court") and filed a substantially similar adversary proceeding against the Company in the Bankruptcy Court. As a result, the Company's litigation against Harvest Sherwood has been stayed in the Superior Court for the State of Delaware. In June 2026, the Company and Harvest Sherwood agreed in principle to a settlement of all pending litigation and release of claims against each other in exchange for payment of an immaterial amount by the Company to Harvest Sherwood. The settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on July 27, 2026, subject to a seven-day appeal period. Stockholder Actions On November 24, 2025, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (the "District Court") against the Company and certain of its officers by Singh Family Revocable Trust u/a dtd 02/18/2019 on behalf of a purported class of the Company's stockholders. The complaint purports to assert claims under Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on allegedly false and misleading statements made by certain of the Company's officers regarding the resilience of its customers against macroeconomic pressures. The complaint seeks damages on behalf of the purported class in an unspecified amount and an award of reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. On December 16, 2025, stockholder Fraser MacDonald filed a separate complaint in the District Court, purporting to assert derivatively on behalf of the Company claims under federal and state law against nine of the Company’s directors and officers. This complaint echoes many of the substantive allegations in the securities class action and, in addition to unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees, seeks corporate governance reforms by the Company. On January 9, 2026, another complaint was filed by stockholder Richard Kaiser in the District Court, asserting similar claims against the same nine directors and officers on similar grounds. On February 6, 2026, the District Court issued an order consolidating the two derivative actions under the caption MacDonald v. Sinclair, et al., No. CV-25-04723-PHX-DWL (D. Ariz.). On April 21, 2026, the Court granted the defendants’ unopposed motion to stay the consolidated case pending resolution of the Singh Family Revocable Trust securities class action. The case is presently stayed accordingly. The Company and its executives intend to defend these cases vigorously, but at this stage of the proceedings, the Company is unable to predict or reasonably estimate any potential loss or effect on the Company. Accordingly, no loss contingency was recorded for these actions.
