Impact Of The COVID-19 Pandemic [Abstract]  
Impact Of The COVID-19 Pandemic NOTE 2 – IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In response to the unprecedented and rapid spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus), many U.S. state governments, in states in which we operate, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as issuing stay-at-home restrictions and social distancing measures. State and local governments have ordered temporary closures of some businesses and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily. Further, individuals’ ability to travel has been curtailed through mandated travel restrictions and may be further limited through additional voluntary or mandated closures of certain businesses. Substantially all Company-operated retail stores operated under a reduced schedule throughout the quarter to match lower demand.

Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, we have taken a number of actions in response to prevailing uncertain market conditions. In order to enhance our liquidity position, we took a precautionary measure and borrowed $350 million available to us under our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9 below) in March 2020. We subsequently repaid the $350 million previously borrowed during the nine months ended December 26, 2020. Additionally, we negotiated rent deferrals for a significant number of our stores, as well as other rent reductions. See additional discussion of these rent deferrals and reductions under Note 10.
