BASIS OF PREPARATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 28, 2020, and the results of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, and cash flows for the six months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019. The adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these unaudited interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2019, filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on December 10, 2019.

New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | B. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On September 29, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (ASU 2016-02), which requires the Company as lessee to recognize most leases on the balance sheet thereby resulting in the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities for those leases currently classified as operating leases. The accounting for leases where the Company is the lessor remains largely unchanged. As both lessee and lessor, the Company adopted the standard utilizing the transition election to not restate comparative periods for the impact of adopting the standard. The Company elected the practical expedient related to leases of twelve months or less. The Company elected the package of transition expedients available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed the carryforward of historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets of $45.0 million and operating lease liabilities of $48.1 million, respectively as of September 29, 2019. Included in the measurement of the new lease assets is the reclassification of certain balances historically recorded as deferred rent and lease obligations for closed stores. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated net income or cash flows. See Note I for additional information required by ASU 2016-02. |

Effective October 1, 2019, the Company is insured for covered costs in excess of $1.0 million per occurrence for workers’ compensation and for general liability and $450,000 per covered person for medical care benefits for a policy year. The Company’s self-insurance reserves totaled $33.6 million and $31.0 million at March 28, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. Of this amount, $13.6 million is accounted for as a current liability and $20.0 million as a long-term liability, which is inclusive of $ 5.4 million of expected self-insurance recoveries from excess cost insurance or other sources that are recorded as a receivable at March 28, 2020. At September 28, 2019, $13.1 million is accounted for as a current liability and $17.9 million as a long-term liability, which is inclusive of $3.6 million of expected self-insurance recoveries from excess cost insurance or other sources that are recorded as a receivable.

The amounts recorded are immaterial for each fuel center as well as in the aggregate at March 28, 2020 and September 28, 2019. |

The Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning June 15 of the years indicated below: Year 2018 102.875% 2019 101.917% 2020 100.958% 2021 and thereafter 100.000% In November 2019, the Company closed a $155 million ten -year amortizing real estate loan (the “Loan”) and issued notice to redeem a like principal amount of the Notes. The Loan was funded and the Notes were redeemed thirty days after the redemption notice in December 2019. The Notes were redeemed at 101.917% of par value, and the Company recognized debt extinguishment costs of approximately $3.7 million during the quarter ended December 28, 2019. The Loan matures January 31, 2030 and has monthly principal payments of $0.65 million plus floating rate interest based on LIBOR. The Company has a $175.0 million line of credit (the “Line”) that matures in S eptember 2022 . The Line provides the Company with various interest rate options based on the prime rate, the Federal Funds Rate, or the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”). The Line allows the Company to issue up to $20.0 million in unused letters of credit, of which $9.1 million of unused letters of credit were issued at March 28, 2020. The Company is not required to maintain compensating balances in connection with the Line. At March 28, 2020, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Line. In December 2010, the Company completed the funding of $99.7 million of bonds (the “ Bonds”) for construction of new warehouse and distribution space adjacent to its existing space in Buncombe County, North Carolina (the “Project”). The final maturity date of the Bonds is January 1, 2036 . Under a Continuing Covenant and Collateral Agency Agreement (the “Covenant Agreement”) between certain financial institutions and the Company, the financial institutions would hold the Bonds until September 2026, subject to certain events. Mandatory redemption of the Bonds by the Company in the annual amount of $4.5 million began on January 1, 2014 . The Company may redeem the Bonds without penalty or premium at any time prior to September 26, 2026 . Interest earned by bondholders on the Bonds is exempt from Federal and North Carolina income taxation. The interest rate on the Bonds is equal to one-month LIBOR (adjusted monthly) plus a credit spread, adjusted to reflect the income tax exemption. The Company’s obligation to repay the Bonds is collateralized by the Project. Additional collateral was required in order to meet certain loan to value criteria in the Covenant Agreement. The Covenant Agreement incorporates substantially all financial covenants included in the Line. The Company has an interest rate swap agreement for a current notional amount of $45.5 million at a fixed rate of 3.92% . Under this agreement, the Company pays monthly the fixed rate of 3.92% and receives the one-month LIBOR plus 1.65% . The interest rate swap effectively hedges floating rate debt in the same amount as the current notional amount of the interest swap. Both the floating rate debt and the interest rate swap have monthly principal amortization of $0.5 million and mature October 1, 2027 . The Company has an interest rate swap agreement for a current notional amount of $151.8 million at a fixed rate of 2.95% . Under this agreement, the Company pays monthly the fixed rate of 2.95% and receives the one-month LIBOR plus 1.50% . The interest rate swap effectively hedges floating rate debt in the same amount as the current notional amount of the interest swap. Both the floating rate debt and the interest rate swap have monthly principal amortization of $0.65 million and mature in fiscal year 2030. The Company recognizes differences between the variable rate interest payments and the fixed interest rate settlements with the swap counterparties as an adjustment to interest expense each period over the life of the swaps. The Company has designated the swaps as cash flow hedges and records the changes in the estimated fair value of the swaps to other comprehensive income each period. For the three- and six-month periods ended March 28, 2020, the Company recorded $10.5 million and $8.4 million of other comprehensive expense, respectively, net of income taxes, in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive income. Unrealized losses of $12.8 million are recorded as a liability at fair value in the line “Other Long Term Liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 28, 2020. For the three- and six-month periods ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.1 million of other comprehensive expense, respectively, net of income taxes, in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive income. Unrealized losses of $0.1 million are recorded as a liability at fair value in the line “Other Long Term Liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 30, 2019. The Company’s long-term debt agreements generally contain provisions that under certain circumstances would permit lending institutions to terminate or withdraw their respective extensions of credit to the Company. Included among the triggering factors permitting the termination or withdrawal of the Line to the Company are certain events of default, including both monetary and non-monetary defaults, the initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, and the failure of the Company to meet certain financial covenants designated in its respective loan documents. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at March 28, 2020. The Company’s long-term debt agreements generally have cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments due under all long-term debt agreements in the event of default under any one instrument. At March 28, 2020, property and equipment with an undepreciated cost of approximately $363.5 million was pledged as collateral for long-term debt. Long-term debt and Line agreements contain various restrictive covenants requiring, among other things, minimum levels of net worth and maintenance of certain financial ratios. At March 28, 2020, the Company had excess net worth totaling $ 143.4 million calculated under covenants in the Notes, the Bonds, the Loan, and the Line. This amount is available to pay dividends; however, certain loan agreements containing provisions outlining minimum tangible net worth requirements restrict the ability of the Company to pay cash dividends in excess of the current annual per share dividends paid on the Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock. Further, the Company is prevented from paying cash dividends at any time that it is in default under the indenture governing the Notes. In addition, the terms of the indenture may restrict the ability of the Company to pay additional cash dividends based on certain financial parameters. |

Earnings Per Common Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Common Share | H. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The Company has two classes of common stock: Class A which is publicly traded, and Class B, which has no public market. The Class B Common Stock has restrictions on transfer; however, each share is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at any time . Each share of Class A Common Stock has one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock has ten votes per share . Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive cash dividends equal to 110% of any cash dividend paid on Class B Common Stock. The Company calculates earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260. The two-class method of computing basic earnings per share for each period reflects the cash dividends declared per share for each class of stock, plus allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated assuming the conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock on a share-for-share basis. The tables below reconcile the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share for current and prior periods.

The majority of the leases include one or more renewal options and provide that the Company pay property taxes, utilities, repairs and certain other costs incidental to occupation of the premises. Several leases contain clauses calling for percentage rentals based upon gross sales of the supermarket occupying the leased space.

Fair Values Of Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Fair Values Of Financial Instruments | K. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt and interest rate swaps are estimated using valuation techniques under the accounting guidance related to fair value measurements based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily available data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These inputs are classified into the following hierarchy: Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 Inputs – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets or liabilities and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the assets or liabilities. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s debt, interest rate swaps, and non-qualified retirement plan assets at March 28, 2020 are as follows (in thousands): Carrying Fair Value Amount Fair Value Measurements Senior Notes $ 545,000 $ 517,069 Level 2 Facility Bonds 68,030 68,030 Level 2 Secured notes payable and other 229,026 229,026 Level 2 Interest rate swap derivative contracts 12,752 12,752 Level 2 Non-qualified retirement plan assets 13,666 13,666 Level 2 The fair values for Level 2 measurements were determined primarily using market yields and taking into consideration the underlying terms of the instrument. |
