Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company and its subsidiaries offer grocery products, general merchandise, health and beauty care products, pharmacy, fuel and other items and services in its stores or through digital channels. The Company's retail operating divisions are geographically based, have similar economic characteristics and similar expected long-term financial performance. On July 23, 2026, the Company announced a regional operating structure realignment referred to as ACI Edge. Based on management's initial assessment, the Company determined that its operating segments and reporting units continue to be its operating divisions, which are now referred to as markets, and that the Company continues to have one reportable segment. This determination may be reassessed in future periods as implementation of ACI Edge progresses and management further evaluates its impact on the Company's organizational and reporting structure. Each reporting unit constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), the Company's Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews the operating results and makes key operating decisions on how to allocate resources. Across all operating segments, the Company operates primarily one store format. Each market offers, through its stores and digital channels, the same general mix of products with similar pricing to similar categories of customers, has similar distribution methods, operates in similar regulatory environments and purchases merchandise from similar or the same vendors.

The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources using Retail segment EBITDA, defined as earnings (net loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to eliminate the effects of items
management does not consider in assessing segment performance. The CODM uses Retail segment EBITDA as its principal measure of segment performance to evaluate the Company's operating results and effectiveness of its strategies and to monitor budget versus actual results.

The CODM is not provided asset information by operating segment as asset information is provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis. No customer accounts for 10% or more of the Company's revenues. Substantially all of the Company's revenues are generated in the U.S. and its long-lived assets are predominantly located within the U.S. The accounting policies of the reportable segment generally align with those described in the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies contained in Note 1, except certain classification differences that are not material for all periods presented.

The following table presents segment information for Net sales and other revenue, significant segment expenses and Retail segment EBITDA (in millions):
