Leases [Abstract]  
Leases LEASES:
We lease retail stores, a limited amount of office space and certain equipment under operating leases expiring in various years through the fiscal year ending 2030. All of our leases have been classified as operating leases and are recognized and measured as such.
Certain operating leases provide for renewal options that are at a pre-determined period and rental value. Furthermore, certain leases provide that we may cancel the lease if our retail sales at that location fall below an established level. Within the first few years of the initial lease term, a majority of our store operating leases contain cancellation clauses that allow the leases to be terminated at our discretion, if certain minimum sales levels are not met. In the normal course of business, operating leases are typically renewed or replaced by other leases.
Escalation of operating lease payments of certain leases depend on an existing index or rate, such as the consumer price index or the market interest rate. These are considered variable lease payments and are included in lease payments when the escalation is known.
The Company deferred substantially all rent payments due in the months of April, May and June 2020 and otherwise made reduced rent payments where and when applicable during fiscal 2020 as a result of the impact of the pandemic. In April 2020, the FASB granted a practical expedient permitting an entity to choose to forgo the evaluation of the enforceable rights and obligations of the original lease contract, specifically in situations where rent concessions have been agreed to with landlords as a result of the pandemic. Instead, the entity may account for pandemic-related rent concessions, whatever their form (e.g. rent deferral, abatement or other) either: a) as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract; or b) as lease modifications. During fiscal 2021 and 2020, we received concessions from certain landlords in the form of rent deferrals, rent abatements and other lease or rent modifications as a result of the impact of the pandemic. In accordance with the practical expedient allowed by the FASB, the Company has elected to treat all pandemic-
related rent concessions and related amendments, including pandemic-related lease amendments that extended the lease term, as lease modifications under ASC 842, Leases. In addition, the Company continued recording lease expense during deferral periods, as applicable, in accordance with its existing policies. The Company made rent payments in accordance with its lease terms during fiscal 2021.

Certain leases provide that we may cancel the lease if our retail sales at that location fall below an established level. A majority of our store operating leases contain cancellation clauses that allow the leases to be terminated at our discretion, if certain minimum sales levels are not met within the first few years of the lease term. We have not historically met or exercised a significant number of these cancellation clauses and, therefore, have included commitments for the full lease terms of such leases in the above table. For fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, total rent expense under operating leases was approximately $219.4 million, $235.3 million and $250.8 million, respectively, including common area maintenance charges of approximately $41.8 million, $32.8 million and $45.7 million, respectively, other rental charges of approximately $34.3 million, $49.8 million and $38.4 million, respectively, and contingent rental expense, based on sales, of approximately $4.3 million, $2.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
