Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

Certain of the operations of the Company are conducted on leased premises. The leases (most of which require the Company to provide for the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs) are for varying periods, the longest extending to the fiscal year 2027. Some of the leased premises contain multiple renewal provisions, exercisable at the Company’s option, as well as escalation clauses. In addition, the Company is obligated under certain equipment and automobile operating leases, which expire on varying dates through fiscal 2021. At September 2, 2017, approximate minimum annual rentals on all such leases are as follows:



Fiscal Year	Total Rental Payments
2018	$	10,829
2019		8,380
2020		6,614
2021		3,706
2022		2,550
Thereafter		2,251
Total	$	34,330

Total rental expense (exclusive of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs) for all operating leases for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $12,541, $13,428 and $14,504, respectively. This included approximately $1,044 and $2,401, for fiscal years 2016 and 2015, respectively, of rent expense for the related party lease. As a result of the purchase of our Atlanta CFC, which was previously leased with a related party, rental expense was partially offset by the release of a deferred rent liability during fiscal 2016. See Note 1 “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for more information about this transaction.
