Common Stock Repurchases

6. Common Stock Repurchases

We periodically repurchase, at the then current market price, and cancel common stock issued to our defined contribution profit sharing and 401(k) plan. Shares are generally purchased from this profit sharing and 401(k) plan when participants sell units as permitted by the plan or elect to leave the plan upon retirement, termination or other reasons. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2011, we repurchased and cancelled 40,855 shares of common stock at an average price of $35.33 per share. During the fifty-two weeks ended December 25, 2010, we repurchased and cancelled 50,266 shares of common stock at an average price of $25.71 per share.
