Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
New accounting pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This collective guidance is in response to accounting concerns regarding contract modifications and hedge accounting because of impending rate reform associated with structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) related to regulators in several jurisdictions around the world having undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” which deferred the sunset date to Topic 848 from December 31,2022, to December 31, 2024. The Company elected the optional expedients in connection with the debt refinancing and transitioned from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on September 30, 2022. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which makes a number of changes meant to add certain disclosure requirements for a buyer in a supplier finance program. The amendments are effective for all companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to include additional disclosures of the supplier finance program obligations. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract] | |
Share-based compensation expense | Share-Based Compensation: Share-based compensation includes stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted share units, and certain transactions under the Company’s ESPP. Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value of all stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted share units. Share based compensation expense is also recognized for the value of the 15% discount on shares purchased by employees as a part of the ESPP. The discount under the ESPP represents the difference between the market value on the first day of the purchase period or the market value on the purchase date, whichever is lower, and the employee’s purchase price. There were no significant modifications to the Company's share-based compensation plans since the adoption of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) on May 10, 2018, which replaced the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. Following the adoption of the 2018 Plan, no further grants may be made under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. Under our share-based compensation plans, awards may be granted to officers, non-employee directors, and other employees. The per share exercise price of options granted shall not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and such awards will expire no later than ten Share-based compensation expense of awards was $53.8 million, $47.6 million, and $37.3 million for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Stock Options The fair value is separately estimated for each option grant. The fair value of each option is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. The Company has estimated the fair value of all stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying a Black-Scholes pricing valuation model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. The ranges of key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, as well as a summary of the methodology applied to develop each assumption, are as follows: Fiscal Year 2022 2021 2020 Expected price volatility 29.9% - 31.3% 29.8% - 30.3% 26.7% - 30.0% Risk-free interest rate 1.7% - 4.3% 0.3% - 1.0% 0.2% - 1.3% Weighted average expected lives (in years) 4.1 4.3 4.3 Forfeiture rate 6.9 % 7.0 % 7.0 % Dividend yield 1.6 % 1.5 % 1.5 % Expected Price Volatility — This is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. The Company calculates the expected price volatility based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price, as well as implied volatility. To calculate historical changes in market value, the Company uses daily market value changes from the date of grant over a past period generally representative of the expected life of the options to determine volatility. The Company believes the use of a blended volatility provides an appropriate indicator of future volatility. An increase in the expected volatility will increase compensation expense. Risk-Free Interest Rate — This is the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rate over a term equal to the expected term of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase compensation expense. Weighted Average Expected Term — This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding and is based on historical experience. Options granted generally have a maximum term of ten Forfeiture Rate — This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled before becoming fully vested. This estimate is based on historical experience. An increase in the forfeiture rate will decrease compensation expense. Dividend Yield — This is the estimated dividend yield for the weighted average expected term of the option granted. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation expense. The Company issues shares for options when exercised. A summary of stock option activity is as follows: Stock Option Activity Options Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Fair Value Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value ( in thousands) Outstanding at December 25, 2021 1,168,311 95.85 6.9 $ 154,706 Granted 141,803 220.70 $ 49.69 Exercised (201,273) 88.61 Canceled (18,452) 169.41 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 1,090,389 $ 112.18 6.3 $ 122,985 Exercisable at December 31, 2022 687,825 $ 87.03 5.2 $ 94,875 The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above represent the total difference between the Company’s closing stock price at each year-end and the option exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options at each year-end. As of December 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was approximately $7.6 million with a weighted average expense recognition period of 1.8 years. There were no material modifications to options in fiscal 2022, 2021, or 2020.

The fair value of the restricted stock units is the closing price of the Company’s common stock the day preceding the grant date, discounted for the expected dividend yield over the term of the award.

The performance metrics for the units are growth in net sales and growth in earnings per diluted share over a specified performance period. The performance metrics for the performance-based restricted share units granted in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022 also include a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier such that the actual number of shares that vest at the end of the respective three-year period is determined based on the Company's TSR performance relative to the constituents of the S&P 500 as well as the level of achievement of the performance goals. If the performance targets are achieved, the performance-based restricted share units will be issued based on the achievement level, inclusive of the relative TSR modifier and the grant date fair value, and will cliff vest in full on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. The fair value of the performance-based restricted share units is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date. Key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation for the performance shares with a TSR modifier granted during fiscal 2022 and during fiscal 2021 are presented below: Fiscal Year Assumption 2022 2021 Expected volatility 30.91 % 31.47 % Risk-free interest rate 1.53 % 0.18 % Compounded dividend yield 1.63 % 1.13 % A summary of performance-based restricted share unit activity is presented below: Performance-Based Restricted Share Unit Activity Performance-Based Restricted Share Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Restricted at December 25, 2021 187,018 $ 107.99 Granted (a) 53,222 223.76 Performance adjustment 78,356 90.00 Vested (156,712) 90.00 Forfeited (6,285) 196.11 Restricted at December 31, 2022 155,599 $ 155.02 (a) Assumes 100% target level achievement of the relative performance targets. The actual number of shares that will be issued, which may be higher or lower than the target, will be determined by the level of achievement of the relative performance targets, inclusive of the TSR modifier. As of December 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested performance-based restricted share units was approximately $19.8 million with a weighted average expense recognition period of 1.8 years. There were no material modifications to performance-based restricted share units in fiscal 2022, 2021, or 2020. Other information relative to performance-based restricted share unit activity during fiscal 2022 is as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2022 2021 2020 Total grant date fair value of performance-based restricted share units vested and issued $ 14,104 $ 648 $ 1,895 Total intrinsic value of performance-based restricted share units vested and issued $ 33,895 $ 1,538 $ 2,826 Shares Withheld to Satisfy Tax Withholding Requirements For the majority of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted share units granted, the number of shares issued on the date the stock awards vest is net of shares withheld by the Company to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, which the Company pays on behalf of its employees. The Company issued 258,550; 219,723; and 186,751 shares as a result of vested restricted stock units and performance-based restricted share units during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Although shares withheld are not issued, they are treated similar to common stock repurchases as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. The amounts are net of 131,939; 95,996; and 81,946 shares withheld to satisfy $28.6 million, $14.9 million, and $7.8 million of employees’ tax obligations during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The ESPP provides Company employees the opportunity to purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of common stock at a 15% discount. Pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, the Company issued 44,390; 48,446; and 63,704 shares of common stock during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The total cost related to the ESPP, including the compensation expense calculations, was approximately $1.8 million, $1.4 million, and $1.4 million in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. There is a maximum of 16.0 million shares of common stock that are reserved under the ESPP. At December 31, 2022, there were approximately 11.7 million remaining shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 3 - Acquisition of Orscheln Farm and Home, LLC and Related Divestitures On October 12, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Orscheln, which expands the Company's footprint in the Midwest part of the United States. Pursuant to the agreement governing the Transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Orscheln, inclusive of 166 Orscheln stores, the Orscheln corporate headquarters, and the Orscheln distribution center, for an all-cash purchase price of $397.7 million, exclusive of cash acquired. The acquisition was financed with cash-on-hand and Revolving Credit Facility borrowings under the 2022 Senior Credit Facility (as defined below). In order to obtain regulatory approval for the Orscheln acquisition, the FTC required the Company to divest of 85 stores, which were sold to two buyers, Bomgaars Supply, Inc. (“Bomgaars”) (73 stores) and Buchheit Enterprises, Inc. (“Buchheit”) (12 stores) (collectively, the “Buyers”), on October 12, 2022, concurrently with the closing of the acquisition. Net proceeds of the store divestitures were $69.4 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to sell the Orscheln corporate headquarters and distribution center to Bomgaars for $10 million within 15 months after the closing of the acquisition. In conjunction with the store divestitures to Bomgaars and Buchheit, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with both Bomgaars and Buchheit, under which we will provide certain transition services to Bomgaars and Buchheit, and such agreements will remain in place until the earlier of 12 months following the date of the agreements or the date at which all stores have been converted to the Buyers' respective brands. Under the terms of the transition services agreements, the Company agreed to provide transition services to Bomgaars and Buchheit, both and each respectively, for information technology support and infrastructure, finance and accounting, tax, treasury, human resources, marketing, logistics, warehousing, and inventory replenishment. For the quarter and year-to-date period ended December 31, 2022, the Company was reimbursed $4.8 million for such transition services, which is included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Such reimbursements largely offset related expenses incurred to service the transition services agreements. Preliminary Allocation of the Purchase Price For the Orscheln acquisition, the Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” with respect to the identifiable assets and liabilities of Orscheln, which have been measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination. The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, primarily using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs (see Note 1 for an explanation of Level 2 and Level 3 inputs). These fair value estimates represent management’s best estimate of future cash flows (including sales, cost of sales, income taxes, etc.), discount rates, competitive trends, market comparables, and other factors. Inputs used were generally determined from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates. Although the determination of the preliminary fair values are substantially complete, certain fair value estimates are based on preliminary information and are subject to change during the measurement period, which ends once the Company has determined that it has obtained all necessary information that existed as of the acquisition date or has determined that such information is unavailable and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. At December 31, 2022, the fair values that are based on preliminary information relate primarily to inventory and certain working capital adjustments. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets, net of liabilities, is recorded as goodwill, which is indicative of the expected synergies from combining the operations of Orscheln with Tractor Supply stores and the expanded footprint that Orscheln brings in the Midwest part of the United States. The purchase consideration and preliminary estimated fair value of Orscheln’s net assets acquired on October 12, 2022 are shown below (in thousands). The assets and liabilities of the 85 divested stores (which were concurrently divested on October 12, 2022), along with the Orscheln corporate headquarters and the Orscheln distribution center, are shown as held for sale in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value of assets acquired Preliminary allocation of the purchase price Cash and cash equivalents $ 6,935 Accounts receivable 277 Inventories 168,663 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 7,222 Property and equipment 13,328 Lease right of use assets 82,755 Deferred income taxes 18,481 Assets held for sale 173,554 Other assets 160 Less: liabilities assumed Accounts payable 80,323 Accrued liabilities 20,291 Short-term lease liabilities 5,986 Long-term lease liabilities 70,626 Liabilities held for sale 94,190 Goodwill 197,742 Total fair value of considerations transferred $ 397,700 The resulting goodwill of $197.7 million is deductible for income tax purposes and represents the expected synergies from combining the operations of Orscheln with Tractor Supply stores and the expanded footprint that Orscheln brings in the Midwest part of the United States. Transaction costs related to the Orscheln acquisition were expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The results of operations of Orscheln have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021 are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2022 Fiscal Year 2021 Tractor Supply Petsense by Tractor Supply Consolidated Tractor Supply Petsense by Tractor Supply Consolidated Balance, beginning of year $ 10,258 $ 22,161 $ 32,419 $ 10,258 $ 22,161 $ 32,419 Goodwill acquired as part of Orscheln acquisition 197,742 — 197,742 — — — Balance, end of year $ 208,000 $ 22,161 $ 230,161 $ 10,258 $ 22,161 $ 32,419 Goodwill is allocated to each identified reporting unit, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company's annual impairment evaluation is conducted on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, the Company completed its annual impairment assessment of goodwill for all reporting units. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the current environment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment and concluded, that while there have been events and circumstances in the macro-environment that have impacted the Company's business, there were not any entity-specific indicators of impairment of goodwill that would require the Company to perform a quantitative impairment assessment. Therefore, there were no impairment charges related to goodwill being recognized in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company identified qualitative indicators of impairment as a result of a strategic reassessment of the Petsense by Tractor Supply business, including an evaluation of current operations and its future growth outlook due to changing consumer trends within certain identified growth markets, which resulted in a decision to reduce the number of new store openings planned over the long term. The carrying value of goodwill for the Petsense by Tractor Supply reporting unit is indicative of the expected growth and development of the business. The aforementioned decision to reduce the long-term growth outlook resulted in a downward adjustment of the future financial forecasts for the Petsense by Tractor Supply business which indicated that impairment of the goodwill asset was a more-likely-than-not outcome. We conducted a quantitative impairment analysis of the Petsense by Tractor Supply reporting unit using the income approach. As a result of the quantitative impairment analysis of the Petsense by Tractor Supply reporting unit, it was determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value, resulting in a pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $60.8 million in fiscal 2020. Other Intangible Assets The Company had approximately $23.1 million of intangible assets other than goodwill at December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021. The intangible asset balance represents the carrying value of the Petsense trade name, which is not subject to amortization as it has an indefinite useful life on the basis that it is expected to contribute cash flows beyond the foreseeable horizon. The trade name asset is evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company's annual impairment evaluation is conducted on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2021, the Company completed its annual impairment assessment of intangible assets for all reporting units. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the current environment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment and concluded, there were no indicators of impairment of intangible assets that would require the Company to perform a quantitative impairment assessment. Therefore, there were no impairment charges related to intangible assets recognized in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the aforementioned decision to reduce the long-term growth outlook for Petsense by Tractor Supply resulted in a downward adjustment of its future financial forecasts which indicated that impairment of the trade name asset was a more-likely-than-not outcome. The Company conducted a quantitative impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 using the relief-from-royalty method. As a result of the quantitative impairment analysis, it was determined that the carrying value of the Petsense trade name was in excess of the fair value, resulting in a pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $8.2 million in fiscal 2020. |

The entire principal amount of the 1.75% Senior Notes is due in full on November 1, 2030. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each November 1 and May 1. The terms of the 1.750% Notes are governed by an indenture dated as of October 30, 2020 (the “Base Indenture”) between the Company and Regions Bank, as trustee, as amended and supplemented by a first supplemental indenture dated as of October 30, 2020 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) between the Company and Regions Bank, as trustee. The 1.75% Senior Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company and will rank equally with the Company’s other senior unsecured liabilities and senior to any future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The 1.75% Senior Notes are subject to customary covenants restricting the Company’s ability, subject to certain exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions or to merge or consolidate with another entity or sell substantially all of its assets to another person. At any time prior to August 1, 2030, the Company will have the right, at its option, to redeem the 1.75% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, by paying the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 1.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed, or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest through the par call date, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, on or after August 1, 2030, the Company will have the right, at its option, to redeem the 1.75% Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the 1.75% Senior Notes, holders of the 1.75% Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s 1.75% Senior Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such 1.75% Senior Notes to, but not including, the purchase date. Upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the 1.75% Senior Notes, which includes payment defaults, defaults in the performance of certain covenants, cross defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, the Company’s obligations under the 1.75% Senior Notes may be accelerated, in which case the entire principal amount of the 1.75% Senior Notes would be due and payable immediately. Senior Note Facility (including 3.70% Senior Notes due 2029) On August 14, 2017, the Company entered into a note purchase and private shelf agreement, by and among the Company, PGIM, Inc. (“Prudential”), and other holders of the notes (the “Note Purchase Agreement” and collectively as amended, the “Note Purchase Facility”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, in a private placement, $150 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due August 14, 2029 bearing interest at 3.70% per annum (the “3.70% Senior Notes”). The entire principal amount of the 3.70% Senior Notes is due in full on August 14, 2029. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on each annual and semi-annual anniversary of the issuance date. The obligations under the Note Purchase Facility are unsecured. The Company may from time to time issue and sell additional senior unsecured notes (the “Shelf Notes”) pursuant to the Note Purchase Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million minus the aggregate principal amount of all notes outstanding and issued under the Note Purchase Facility. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Facility, the 3.70% Senior Notes and any Shelf Notes (collectively, the “Senior Note Facility”) are redeemable by the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Note Facility being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and a make whole amount calculated by discounting all remaining scheduled payments on the Senior Note Facility by the yield on the U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the remaining average life of the Senior Note Facility plus 0.50%. Amendments to Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement On September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Note Purchase Facility by and among the Company, Prudential and other holders of the notes, which modifies certain provisions of the Note Purchase Facility and conforms certain representations, warranties and covenants with the 2022 Senior Credit Facility. On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Note Purchase Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”) by and among the Company, Prudential and other holders of the notes, which also amends the Note Purchase Facility. The Fourth Amendment extends the issuance period in which the Company may issue and sell, and Prudential may consider in its sole discretion the purchase of, in one or a series of transactions, additional senior unsecured notes of the Company (the “Shelf Note”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million under the Note Purchase Facility. The Shelf Notes may be issued through November 1, 2025, unless either party terminates such issuance right. 2022 Senior Credit Facility On September 30, 2022 the Company entered into a new credit agreement, providing for a credit facility (the “2022 Senior Credit Facility”), consisting of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in the maximum principal amount of $1.20 billion (with a sublimit of $50.0 million for swingline loans and a sublimit of $150.0 million for letters of credit). In addition, the Company has an option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility or establish term loans in an amount not to exceed $500.0 million in the aggregate, subject to, among other things, the receipt of commitments for the increased amount. The 2022 Senior Credit Facility is unsecured and has a five-year term with two options to request that the lenders extend the maturity date of the obligations owed to each lender for one year (and the right to replace any lenders electing not to extend). Borrowings for the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at either the bank’s base rate (7.500% at December 31, 2022) plus an additional margin ranging from 0.000% to 0.250% (0.000% at December 31, 2022) or adjusted SOFR (4.358% at December 31, 2022) plus an additional margin ranging from 0.750% to 1.250% (1.000% at December 31, 2022) adjusted based on the Company's public credit ratings. The Company is also required to pay, quarterly in arrears, a commitment fee related to unused capacity ranging from 0.080% to 0.150% (0.100% at December 31, 2022) per annum, adjusted based on the Company's public credit ratings. The 2022 Senior Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous senior credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). Proceeds from borrowings under the 2022 Senior Credit Facility were used to pay off the Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the debt refinancing, the Company amended its interest rate swap agreement to convert the reference rate from one-month LIBOR to one-month term SOFR and elected the optional expedients offered under the Accounting Standards Codification 848, Reference Rate Reform , which allows the cash flow hedge to continue being recognized under hedge accounting without dedesignation. Covenants and Default Provisions of the Debt Agreements The 2022 Senior Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Facility (collectively, the “Debt Agreements”) require quarterly compliance with respect to two material covenants: a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. Both ratios are calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis at the end of each fiscal quarter. The fixed charge coverage ratio compares earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and rent expense (“consolidated EBITDAR”) to the sum of interest paid and rental expense (excluding any straight-line rent adjustments). The fixed charge coverage ratio shall be greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio compares total funded debt to consolidated EBITDAR. The leverage ratio shall be less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Debt Agreements also contain certain other restrictions regarding additional subsidiary indebtedness, business operations, subsidiary guarantees, mergers, consolidations and sales of assets, transactions with subsidiaries or affiliates, and liens. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. The Debt Agreements contain customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments, certain ERISA events and invalidity of loan documents. Upon certain changes of control, payment under the Debt Agreements could become due and payable. In addition, under the Note Purchase Facility, upon an event of default or change of control, the make whole payment described above may become due and payable. The Note Purchase Facility also requires that, in the event the Company amends its Senior Credit Facility, or any subsequent credit facility of $100 million or greater, such that it contains covenant or default provisions that are not provided in the Note Purchase Facility or that are similar to those contained in the Note Purchase Facility but which contain percentages, amounts, formulas or grace periods that are more restrictive than those set forth in the Note Purchase Facility or are otherwise more beneficial to the lenders thereunder, the Note Purchase Facility shall be automatically amended to include such additional or amended covenants and/or default provisions. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lessee, Operating Leases | Leases: The Company leases the majority of its retail store locations, two distribution sites, its Merchandise Innovation Center, and certain equipment under various non-cancellable operating leases. The leases have varying terms and expire at various dates through 2043. Store leases typically have initial terms of between 10 years and 20 years, with two four five The Company accounts for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes, and insurance costs) together with non-lease components (e.g., fixed payment common-area maintenance) as a single component for all classes of underlying assets. Certain lease agreements require variable payments based upon actual costs of common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance. Further, certain lease agreements require variable payments based upon store sales above agreed-upon sales levels for the year and others require payments adjusted periodically for inflation. As substantially all of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we estimate our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based upon a Company specific credit rating and yield curve analysis at commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the balance sheet. Short-term lease cost during the periods presented was immaterial.

As substantially all of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we estimate our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based upon a Company specific credit rating and yield curve analysis at commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of one year or less on the balance sheet. Short-term lease cost during the periods presented was immaterial.

Treasury Stock Transactions, Excluding Value of Shares Reissued [Abstract] | |
Treasury Stock | Treasury Stock:The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized common stock repurchases under a share repurchase program which was announced in February 2007. As of December 31, 2022, the authorization amount of the program, which has been increased from time to time, was authorized for up to $6.50 billion, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such repurchases. The total authorized amount reflects a $2.00 billion increase to the share repurchase program which was approved by the Board of Directors on January 26, 2022. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. Repurchased shares are accounted for at cost and will be held in treasury for future issuance. The program may be limited, temporarily paused, or terminated at any time without prior notice. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had remaining authorization under the share repurchase program of $1.65 billion, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. The following table provides the number of shares repurchased, average price paid per share, and total amount paid for share repurchases in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts): Fiscal Year 2022 2021 2020 Total number of shares repurchased 3,378 4,364 3,439 Average price paid per share $ 207.23 $ 183.07 $ 99.72 Total cash paid for share repurchases $ 700,063 $ 798,893 $ 342,957 Shares repurchased in fiscal 2020 were impacted by the temporary suspension of our share repurchase program from March 12, 2020 until November 5, 2020, in order to strengthen our liquidity and preserve cash while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. |

The Company believes that all of the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized through future earnings. The Company had state tax credit carryforwards of $14.0 million and $6.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively, with varying dates of expiration through 2037. The Company provided no valuation allowance as of December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021 for state tax credit carryforwards, as the Company believes it is more likely than not that all of these credits will be utilized before their expiration dates. A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amounts computed at the federal statutory rate is as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2022 2021 2020 Tax provision at statutory rate $ 294,905 $ 268,819 $ 203,311 Tax effect of: State income taxes, net of federal tax benefits 41,235 36,116 27,642 Tax credits, net of federal tax benefits (15,616) (13,157) (8,828) Share-based compensation programs (9,025) (13,368) (9,303) Other 4,099 4,564 6,367 Total income tax expense $ 315,598 $ 282,974 $ 219,189 The Company and its affiliates file income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. Various states have completed an examination of our income tax returns for 2018 through 2020 with minimal adjustments. The total amount of unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate, is $4.5 million at December 31, 2022. In addition, the Company recognizes current interest and penalties accrued related to these uncertain tax positions as interest expense, and the amount is not material to the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has considered the reasonably possible expected net change in uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months and does not expect any material changes to our liability for uncertain tax positions through December 31, 2022. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits (exclusive of interest and penalties) is as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2022 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of year $ 3,749 $ 3,236 $ 2,760 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 1,359 927 816 Additions for tax positions of prior years 760 51 32 Reductions for tax positions of prior years (506) (465) (372) Balance at end of year $ 5,362 $ 3,749 $ 3,236 The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in the U.S. on March 27, 2020. The enactment of this legislation did not have a material impact on income tax expense in fiscal 2022. However, the Company did elect to participate in the deferral of the employer’s share of social security tax deposits, with $24.5 million included within other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 25, 2021. The remaining balance of deferred social security tax deposits was paid during 2022. |

Nature of Business | Nature of Business Founded in 1938, Tractor Supply Company (the “Company” or “Tractor Supply” or “we” or “our” or “us”) is the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company is focused on supplying the needs of recreational farmers, ranchers, and all those who enjoy living the rural lifestyle (which we refer to as the “ Out Here ” lifestyle). The Company's stores are located primarily in towns outlying major metropolitan markets and in rural communities. The Company also owns and operates Petsense, LLC (“Petsense by Tractor Supply”), a small-box pet specialty supply retailer focused on meeting the needs of pet owners, primarily in small and mid-sized communities, and offering a variety of pet products and services. At December 31, 2022, the Company operated a total of 2,333 retail stores in 49 states (2,066 Tractor Supply retail stores, 186 Petsense by Tractor Supply retail stores, and 81 Orscheln Farm and Home retail stores) and also offered an expanded assortment of products through the Tractor Supply Company mobile application and online at TractorSupply.com , Petsense.com , and Orschelnfarmhome.com . On October 12, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Orscheln Farm and Home, LLC (“Orscheln” or “Orscheln Farm and Home”). The Company acquired 166 Orscheln stores for approximately $397.7 million, exclusive of cash acquired. Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, the Company divested 85 store locations to two buyers. Net proceeds from the store divestitures were approximately $69.4 million. In addition, Tractor Supply has agreed to sell the Orscheln corporate headquarters and distribution center to Bomgaars Supply, Inc. for approximately $10 million within 15 months after the closing of the acquisition. The acquisition was financed with cash-on-hand and borrowings under the 2022 Senior Credit Facility (as defined below). The Company plans to rebrand all Orscheln stores to Tractor Supply stores by the end of fiscal 2023. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information surrounding the acquisition of Orscheln Farm and Home. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of PresentationThe accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). |
Fiscal Year | Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year includes 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the last Saturday of the calendar year. The fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 consisted of 53 weeks, while the years ended December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 each consisted of 52 weeks. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
Management Estimates | Management Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP inherently requires estimates and assumptions by management of the Company that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Inventory Impairment Risk | Inventory Valuation Inventory Impairment Risk The Company identifies potentially excess and slow-moving inventory by evaluating turn rates, historical and expected future sales trends, age of merchandise, overall inventory levels, current cost of inventory, and other benchmarks. The Company has established an inventory valuation reserve to recognize the estimated impairment in value (i.e., an inability to realize the full carrying value) based on the Company’s aggregate assessment of these valuation indicators under prevailing market conditions and current merchandising strategies. The Company does not believe its merchandise inventories are subject to significant risk of obsolescence in the near term. However, changes in market conditions or consumer purchasing patterns could result in the need for additional reserves. |
Shrinkage | Shrinkage The Company typically performs physical inventories at least once a year for each store that has been open more than 12 months, and the Company has established a reserve for estimating inventory shrinkage between physical inventory counts. The reserve is established by assessing the chain-wide average shrinkage experience rate, applied to the related periods’ sales volumes. Such assessments are updated on a regular basis for the most recent individual store experiences. The estimated store inventory shrink rate is based on historical experience. The Company believes historical rates are a reasonably accurate reflection of future trends. |
Vendor Funding | Vendor Funding The Company receives funding from substantially all of its significant merchandise vendors, in support of its business initiatives, through a variety of programs and arrangements, including guaranteed vendor support funds (“vendor support”) and volume-based rebate funds (“volume rebates”). The amounts received are subject to terms of vendor agreements, most of which are “evergreen,” reflecting the on-going relationship with our significant merchandise vendors. Certain of the Company’s agreements, primarily volume rebates, are renegotiated annually, based on expected annual purchases of the vendor’s product. Vendor funding is initially deferred as a reduction of the purchase price of inventory, and then recognized as a reduction of cost of merchandise sold as the related inventory is sold. During interim periods, the amount of vendor support and volume rebates are estimated based upon initial commitments and anticipated purchase levels with applicable vendors. The estimated purchase volume (and related vendor funding) is based on the Company’s current knowledge of inventory levels, sales trends and expected customer demand, as well as planned new store openings and relocations. Although the Company believes it can reasonably estimate purchase volume and related volume rebates at interim periods, it is possible that actual year-end results could be different from previously estimated amounts. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, including lease right-of-use assets, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When evaluating long-lived assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying value of the asset or asset group to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. The evaluation for long-lived assets is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which is generally the individual store level. The significant assumptions used to determine estimated undiscounted cash flows include cash inflows and outflows directly resulting from the use of those assets in operations, including margin on net sales, payroll and related items, occupancy costs, insurance allocations and other costs to operate a store. If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the related asset, the Company calculates an impairment loss. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying value of the related asset or asset group to its estimated fair value, which may be based on an estimated future cash flow model, market valuation, or other valuation technique, as appropriate. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the amount of the asset’s carrying value exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value. If the Company recognizes an impairment loss, the adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis. For a depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis will be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining estimated useful life of that asset. No significant impairment charges were recognized in fiscal 2022 or 2021 related to long-lived assets. In fiscal 2020, we recognized $5.1 million of impairment charges related to long-lived assets for Petsense by Tractor Supply stores. Impairment charges, if recognized, are included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
Impairement of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets | Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment evaluation is conducted on the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter. In accordance with the accounting standards, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If after such assessment an entity concludes that the asset is not impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test, and if impaired, the associated assets must be written down to fair value. The quantitative impairment test for goodwill compares the fair value of a reporting unit with the carrying value of its net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge would be recorded to the Company’s operations for the amount in which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. We determine fair values for each reporting unit using the market approach, when available and appropriate, the income approach, or a combination of both. The income approach involves forecasting projected financial information (such as revenue growth rates, profit margins, tax rates, and capital expenditures) and selecting a discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, the fair value is based on observed market data. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are weighted appropriately. The quantitative impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets involves comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of the discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the implied fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recorded to the Company’s operations. No impairment charges were recognized in fiscal 2022 or 2021 related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. As described in further detail in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in fiscal 2020 we recognized goodwill impairment of $60.8 million and trade name asset impairment of $8.2 million related to Petsense by Tractor Supply. Impairment charges, if recognized, are included as a separate line item within SG&A expenses ments of Income. |
Revenue Recognition | The Company recognizes revenue at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise. If the Company receives payment before completion of its customer obligations (as per the Company’s special order and layaway programs), the revenue is deferred until the customer takes possession of the merchandise and the sale is complete. |
Sales Taxes | The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit such collections to the applicable governmental agency on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees are collected from customers at the time of purchase but are not included in net sales. The Company records a liability upon collection from the customer and relieves the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental agency. |
Revenue Recognition Sales Returns | The Company estimates a liability for sales returns based on a rolling average of historical return trends, and the Company believes that its estimate for sales returns is an accurate reflection of future returns associated with past sales. However, as with any estimate, refund activity may vary from estimated amounts. The Company had a liability for sales returns of $24.0 million and $17.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. |
Revenue Recognition Gift Cards | The Company recognizes revenue when a gift card or merchandise return card is redeemed by the customer and recognizes income when the likelihood of the gift card or merchandise return card being redeemed by the customer is remote (referred to as “breakage”). The gift cards and merchandise return card breakage rate is based upon historical redemption patterns and income is recognized for unredeemed gift cards and merchandise return cards in proportion to those historical redemption patterns. The Company recognized breakage income of $4.6 million, $4.2 million, and $3.6 million in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company offers a points-based Neighbor’s Club loyalty program to its customers. The points earned by customers can be redeemed for free services or discounts on future purchases. The Company defers the estimated standalone selling price of points related to the loyalty program as a reduction to revenue and establish a corresponding liability in deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The estimated selling price of each point is based on the standard value per point (1 point is generally equivalent to $0.01), net of points not expected to be redeemed, based on historical redemption. When points are relieved (redeemed, expired, cancelled, etc.), revenue is recognized with a corresponding reduction to the program liability. The Company had a liability for the loyalty program of $19.2 million and $20.9 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. |
Cost of Merchandise Sold | Cost of Merchandise Sold Cost of merchandise sold includes the total cost of products sold; freight and duty expenses associated with moving merchandise inventories from vendors to distribution facilities, from distribution facilities to retail stores, from one distribution facility to another, and directly to our customers; tariffs on imported products; vendor support; damaged, junked or defective product; cash discounts from payments to merchandise vendors; and adjustments for shrinkage (physical inventory losses), lower of cost or net realizable value, slow moving product, and excess inventory quantities. |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | Selling, General and Administrative Expenses SG&A expenses include payroll and benefit costs for retail, distribution facility, and corporate team members; share-based compensation expenses; occupancy costs of retail, distribution, and corporate facilities; advertising; tender costs, including bank charges and costs associated with credit and debit card interchange fees; outside service fees; and other administrative costs, such as computer maintenance, supplies, travel, and lodging. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs Advertising costs consist of expenses incurred in connection with digital and social media offerings, television, newspaper circulars, and customer-targeted direct e-mail and direct mail, as well as limited events through radio and other media channels. Costs are expensed when incurred with the exception of television advertising and circular and direct mail promotions, which are expensed upon first showing. Advertising expenses were approximately $94.6 million, $95.4 million, and $100.9 million for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Prepaid advertising costs were approximately $2.1 million and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2022, and December 25, 2021, respectively. |
Warehousing and Distribution Costs | Warehousing and Distribution Facility Costs Costs incurred at the Company’s distribution facilities for receiving, warehousing, and preparing product for delivery are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Because the Company does not include these costs in cost of sales, the Company’s gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the calculation of gross margin. Distribution facility costs including depreciation were approximately $424.1 million, $367.4 million, and $292.6 million for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. |
Pre-opening Costs | Pre-Opening Costs Non-capital expenditures incurred in connection with opening new stores, primarily payroll and rent, are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening costs were approximately $10.2 million, $10.4 million, and $8.6 million for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. |
Share-based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Company has share-based compensation plans covering certain members of management and non-employee directors, which include non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted share units. Performance-based restricted share units are subject to performance conditions that include both Company and market performance. In addition, the Company offers an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) to eligible team members. The Company estimates the fair value of its stock option awards at the date of grant utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. However, key assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are adjusted to incorporate the unique characteristics of the Company’s stock option awards. Option pricing models and generally accepted valuation techniques require management to make subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, expected term and forfeiture rates. The Company relies on historical volatility trends to estimate future volatility assumptions. The risk-free interest rates used were actual U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity rates for bonds matching the expected term of the option on the date of grant. The expected term of the option on the date of grant was estimated based on the Company’s historical experience for similar options. The forfeiture rate at the time of valuation was estimated based on historical experience for similar options and reduces expense ratably over the vesting period. The Company adjusts this estimate periodically, based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock units is the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock the day preceding the grant date, discounted for the expected dividend yield over the term of the award. The fair value of the Company's performance-based restricted share units is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the grant date. Key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation include expected volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. The Company believes its estimates are reasonable in the context of historical experience. Future results will depend on, among other matters, levels of share-based compensation granted in the future, actual forfeiture rates, and the timing of option exercises. |
Depreciation and Amortization | Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation includes expenses related to all retail, distribution facility, and corporate assets. Amortization includes expenses related to definite-lived intangible assets. |
Income Tax | Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are anticipated to be in effect when temporary differences reverse or are settled. The effect of a tax rate change is recognized in the period in which the law is enacted in the provision for income taxes. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. |
Tax Contingencies | Tax Contingencies The Company’s income tax returns are periodically audited by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. These audits include questions regarding tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. At any time, multiple tax years are subject to audit by the various tax authorities. In evaluating the exposures associated with the Company’s various tax filing positions, the Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which the |
Sales Tax Audit Reserve | Sales Tax Audit Reserve A portion of the Company’s sales are to tax-exempt customers, predominantly agricultural-based. The Company obtains exemption information as a necessary part of each tax-exempt transaction. Many of the states in which the Company conducts business will perform audits to verify the Company’s compliance with applicable sales tax laws. The business activities of the Company’s customers and the intended use of the unique products sold by the Company create a challenging and complex tax compliance environment. These circumstances also create some risk that the Company could be challenged as to the accuracy of the Company’s sales tax compliance. The Company reviews past audit experience and assessments with applicable states to continually determine if it has potential exposure for non-compliance. Any estimated liability is based on an initial assessment of compliance risk and historical experience with each state. The Company continually reassesses the exposure based on historical audit results, changes in policies, preliminary and final assessments made by state sales tax auditors, and additional documentation that may be provided to reduce the assessment. The reserve for these tax audits can fluctuate depending on numerous factors, including the complexity of agricultural-based exemptions, the ambiguity in state tax regulations, the number of ongoing audits, and the length of time required to settle with the state taxing authorities. |
Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per ShareThe Company presents both basic and diluted net income per share on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive shares are computed using the treasury stock method for share-based awards. Performance-based restricted share units are included in diluted shares only if the related performance conditions have been considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Temporary cash investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, are considered to be cash equivalents. The majority of payments due from banks for customer credit cards are classified as cash and cash equivalents, as they generally settle within 24 - 48 hours. Sales generated through the Company’s private label credit cards are not reflected as accounts receivable. Under an agreement with Citi Cards, a division of Citigroup, consumer and business credit is extended directly to customers by Citigroup. All credit program and related services are performed and controlled directly by Citigroup. Payments due from Citigroup are classified as cash and cash equivalents as they generally settle within 24 - 48 hours. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: • Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; • Level 2 - defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and • Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, and interest rate swaps. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables, and trade payables approximate current fair value at each balance sheet date. As described in further detail in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had $1.18 billion and $1.00 billion in outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the Company's $150 million 3.70% Senior Notes (the “3.70% Senior Notes”), the $200 million term loan (the “November 2020 Term Loan,” retired on September 30, 2022 and discussed in further detail in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and the $378 million in borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) were determined based on market interest rates (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of borrowings under the $3.70% Senior Notes, the November 2020 Term Loan, and the Revolving Credit Facility all approximate fair value for each period reported. The fair value of the Company's $650 million 1.75% Senior Notes (the “1.75% Senior Notes”) is determined based on quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs. The carrying value and the fair value of the 1.75% Senior Notes, net of discount were as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2022 December 25, 2021 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Liabilities: 1.75% Senior Notes $ 639,220 $ 500,065 $ 637,844 $ 614,881 The Company’s interest rate swap is carried at fair value, which is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using forward rate curves, which is considered a Level 2 input. In accordance with hedge accounting, the gains and losses on interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income, net of related income taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same income statement line in the period in which the hedged transaction(s) affect earnings. The fair value of the interest rate swap, excluding accrued interest, was as follows (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 December 25, 2021 Interest rate swap assets (Level 2) $ 15,146 $ 1,809 |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with applicable accounting standards for such instruments and hedging activities, which require that all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge a certain portion of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply the hedge accounting standards. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined by the average cost method, or net realizable value. Inventory cost consists of the direct cost of merchandise including freight, duties, and tariffs. Inventories are net of shrinkage, obsolescence, other valuations, and vendor allowances. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Improvements to leased premises are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement, whichever is less. The following table summarizes the Company's property and equipment balances and includes the estimated useful lives which are generally applied (in thousands, except estimated useful lives): Estimated Useful Lives December 31, December 25, Land $ 100,129 $ 100,129 Buildings and improvements 1 – 35 years 1,753,601 1,517,052 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 – 10 years 1,086,013 900,272 Computer software and hardware 2 – 7 years 766,031 694,455 Construction in progress 394,143 211,486 Property and equipment, gross 4,099,917 3,423,394 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (2,016,301) (1,805,588) Property and equipment, net $ 2,083,616 $ 1,617,806 |
Capitalized Software Costs | Capitalized Software Costs The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is two seven |
Store Closing Costs | Store Closing Costs The Company regularly evaluates the performance of its stores and periodically closes those stores that are underperforming. The Company records a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred, usually in the period the store closes. Store closing costs were not significant to the results of operations for any of the fiscal years presented. |
Leases | Leases Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment, if any, of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. As substantially all of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we estimate our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based upon a Company specific credit rating and yield curve analysis at commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments. Assets under finance leases are amortized in accordance with the Company’s normal depreciation policy for owned assets or over the lease term, if shorter, and the related charge to operations is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |
New accounting pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This collective guidance is in response to accounting concerns regarding contract modifications and hedge accounting because of impending rate reform associated with structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) related to regulators in several jurisdictions around the world having undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,” which deferred the sunset date to Topic 848 from December 31,2022, to December 31, 2024. The Company elected the optional expedients in connection with the debt refinancing and transitioned from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on September 30, 2022. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which makes a number of changes meant to add certain disclosure requirements for a buyer in a supplier finance program. The amendments are effective for all companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to include additional disclosures of the supplier finance program obligations. |
Self Insurance Reserve | Self-Insurance Reserves The Company self-insures a significant portion of its workers’ compensation and general liability (including product liability) insurance plans. The Company has stop-loss insurance policies to protect it from individual losses over specified dollar values. Our deductible or self-insured retention, as applicable, for each claim involving workers’ compensation insurance and general liability insurance is limited to $500,000 and our Texas Work Injury Policy is limited to $500,000. Further, we maintain a commercially reasonable umbrella/excess policy that covers liabilities in excess of the primary insurance policy limits. |
