Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Fiscal Period, Policy [Policy Text Block]
References to a particular year are to our fiscal year, which is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31st of the following calendar year.  For example, a reference to “2016” is a reference to the fiscal year ending January 28, 2017, and “2015” is a reference to the fiscal year ended January 30, 2016.  Each of 2016 and 2015 are comprised of 52 weeks.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]
 Recent Accounting Standards. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what a company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 allows for either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method of adoption and was to be effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, however, early adoption as of the original effective date is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows for leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products, which requires prepaid stored-value product liabilities to be treated as financial liabilities within the scope of ASC 405. The ASU also amends ASC 405-20 to include a narrow scope exception requiring entities to recognize breakage for liabilities resulting from prepaid stored-value products in a manner consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606 on revenue recognition. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and is to be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-04 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which modifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
