See Note 5 “Business Combination.” During the twenty-six-week period ended March 2, 2019, approximately $49 in gross intangible assets, and any related accumulated amortization, were written off related to trademarks that are no longer being utilized.

The Company’s intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, including customer relationships, as it approximates customer attrition patterns and best estimates the use pattern of the asset. Amortization expense of the Company’s intangible assets was $5,664 and $4,904 for the twenty-six-week periods ended March 2, 2019 and March 3, 2018, respectively. The Company expects amortization expense to be approximately $5,720 for the remainder of fiscal 2019 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years as follows:
