Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Pending Litigation K2 Asia litigation On April 7, 2009, a Cayman Islands corporation, K2 Asia Ventures and its owners filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County, North Carolina Superior Court against the Company, the Company’s franchisee in the Philippines and other persons associated with the franchisee. The suit alleges that the Company and the other defendants conspired to deprive the plaintiffs of claimed “exclusive rights” to negotiate franchise and development agreements with prospective franchisees in the Philippines and sought at least $3.0 million. The Company believes that these allegations lack merit and continues to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. The Company does not believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred with respect to this matter, and accordingly no liability related to it has been reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Insomnia Cookies litigation related to employee wages Insomnia Cookies is currently a party to a class action lawsuit alleging violations of unfair competition, unpaid minimum wages, unpaid overtime, meal and rest period violations and unpaid premiums, failure to reimburse for business expenses, untimely paid wages, and violation of the California Private Attorneys General Act. Insomnia Cookies vigorously disputes these claims. On March 11, 2021, the parties participated in a mediation and reached a class wide settlement and release of claims in principle for $0.4 million, expected to be paid during the quarter ended October 3, 2021. The parties have executed a memorandum of understanding memorializing the key settlement terms and are in the process of finalizing long form settlement documents and seeking preliminary court approval of the settlement. TSW Food, LLC litigation On November 13, 2020, TSW Foods, LLC (“TSW”), a reseller of certain Krispy Kreme packaged products, filed a demand for arbitration and statement of claim alleging Anticipatory Repudiation of the Master Reseller Agreement, Breach of the Master Reseller Agreement, and Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. The Company intends to vigorously defend against TSW’s claims and prosecute its counterclaims. At this time the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter, the potential loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of this matter or any potential effect it may have on the Company or its operations. Other Legal Matters The Company also is engaged in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The Company maintains insurance policies against certain kinds of such claims and suits, including insurance policies for workers’ compensation and personal injury, all of which are subject to deductibles. While the ultimate outcome of these matters could differ from management’s expectations, management currently does not believe their resolution will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Other Commitments and Contingencies One of the Company’s primary banks issued letters of credit on its behalf totaling $8.5 million and $14.0 million as of July 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, respectively, a majority of which secure the Company’s reimbursement obligations to insurers under its self-insurance arrangements.
