Note 10. Leases

 

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. The Company’s material long-term operating lease agreements are for the land and buildings for our restaurants as well as our corporate office. The initial lease terms range from 10 to 20 years, most of which include renewal options of 10 to 15 years.

 

Components of operating lease costs are as follows for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2026 and July 1, 2025:

 

Lease cost   Classification   June 30, 2026     July 1, 2025

Variable lease cost   Occupancy     (15 )     11

Weighted average remaining lease term (in years)     6.51       6.82

Future minimum rent payments for our operating leases as of June 30, 2026 are as follows:

 

    Total  
One Year   $ 7,966  
Two Years     7,541  
Three Years     6,259  
Four Years     5,591  
Five Years     4,594  
Thereafter     10,772  
Total minimum lease payments     42,723  
Less: imputed interest     (7,170 )
Present value of lease liabilities   $ 35,553  

 

The above future minimum rental amounts exclude the amortization of deferred lease incentives, renewal options that are not reasonably assured of renewal, and contingent rent. The Company generally has escalating rents over the term of the leases and records rent on a straight-line basis.
