| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES We recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million related to income before taxes of $6.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2026, and income tax expense of $5.8 million related to income before taxes of $4.1 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2026. We recorded an income tax benefit of $2.7 million related to loss before taxes of $4.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2025, and an income tax benefit of $1.3 million related to loss before income taxes of $31.2 million for the nine months ended June 29, 2025. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2026, was 21.3% and 140.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2025, was 61.4% and 4.2% respectively. The primary differences between these rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% are because of state taxes, non-deductible expenses, increase 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 34 state and local jurisdictions. We do not currently have any federal or material income tax examinations in progress. Our income tax returns have generally been audited or closed to audit through 2017.
