Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies utilized in preparing the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements: (a) Description of Business Weis Markets, Inc. is a Pennsylvania business corporation formed in 1924. The Company is engaged principally in the retail sale of food in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. The Company’s operations are reported as a single reportable segment. There was no material change in the nature of the Company's business during fiscal 2020. (b) Definition of Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal 2020 was comprised of 52 weeks, ending on December 26, 2020. Fiscal 2019 was comprised of 52 weeks, ending on December 28, 2019. Fiscal 2018 was comprised of 52 weeks, ending on December 29, 2018. References to years in this Annual Report relate to fiscal years. (c) Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (d) Use of Estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company maintains its cash balances in the form of core checking accounts and money market accounts. The Company maintains cash deposits with banks that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investment amounts classified as cash equivalents as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 totaled $ 95.9 million and $ 32.9 million , respectively. Consumer electronic payments accepted at the point of sale, including all credit card, debit card and electronic benefits transfer transactions that process in three days or less are classified as cash equivalents. Consumer electronic payment amounts classified as cash equivalents as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 totaled $ 41.7 million and $ 23.1 million, respectively. (f) Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of corporate and municipal bonds and equity securities. The Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable debt securities. The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted market price based on national markets. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on corporate and municipal bonds are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Unrealized holding gains and losses on equity securities are recorded in investment income (loss) and interest expense. A decline in the fair value below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value and the unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in investment income (loss) and interest expense. The Company recognized a $ 1.8 million loss in 2020 and a $ 2.0 million gain in 2019. (g) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $ 2.4 million and $ 2.8 million as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. The reserve balance relates to amounts due from pharmacy third party providers, retail customer returned checks, manufacturing customers, vendors and tenants. The Company maintains an allowance for the amount of receivables deemed to be uncollectible and calculates this amount based upon historical collection activity adjusted for current conditions. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (h) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using both the retail inventory and average cost methods. The retail inventory method is commonly used by retail companies to determine cost and calculate gross margin based on applying a cost-to-retail ratio to each similar merchandise category’s ending retail value. The Company’s center store and pharmacy inventories are valued using last in, first out (LIFO). The Company’s fresh inventories are valued using average cost. The Company evaluates inventory shortages throughout the year based on actual physical counts in its facilities. Allowances for inventory shortages are recorded based on the results of these counts and to provide for estimated shortages from the last physical count to the financial statement date. (i) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the cost of buildings and improvements and equipment using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed and renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on the disposition is credited or charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” (j) Leases The Company leases approximately 51 % of its open store facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2036, with the remaining store facilities being owned. These leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals; however, several provide for minimum annual rentals plus variable lease costs related to real estate taxes and insurance as well as contingent rentals based on a percentage of annual sales or increases periodically based on inflation. These variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-to-use assets or lease liabilities and are charged to the related expense category included in “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” Most of the leases contain multiple renewal options, under which the Company may extend the lease terms from 5 to 20 years. Additionally, the Company has operating leases for certain transportation and other equipment. The Company leases or subleases space to tenants in owned, vacated and open store facilities. Rental income is recorded when earned as a component of “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” (k) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when indicators of impairment are identified. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized until their useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s intangible assets and related accumulated amortization at December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 consisted of the following: December 26, 2020 December 28, 2019 Accumulated Accumulated (dollars in thousands) Gross Amortization Net Gross Amortization Net Liquor licenses $ 15,032 $ - $ 15,032 $ 14,905 $ - $ 14,905 Asset acquisitions and other 5,083 3,345 1,738 5,083 2,888 2,195 Total $ 20,115 $ 3,345 $ 16,770 $ 19,988 $ 2,888 $ 17,100 Intangible assets with a definite useful life are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods up to 10 years for customer lists. Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $ 444 thousand in 2021, $ 320 thousand in 2022, $ 310 thousand in 2023, $ 310 thousand in 2024 and $ 147 thousand in 2025. As of December 26, 2020, the Company’s intangible assets with indefinite lives consisted of goodwill and liquor licenses. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates the period of depreciation or amortization for long-lived assets to determine whether current circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company completes an impairment test annually. The Company also reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. An impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of net book value over the fair value of the asset impaired. The fair value is estimated based on current market values or expected discounted future cash flows. With respect to owned property and equipment associated with closed stores, the value of the property and equipment would be adjusted to reflect recoverable values if current economic conditions and estimated fair values of the property was less than the net book value. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment , the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $ 1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 for the impairment of long-lived assets, including equipment and leasehold improvements. The charge was a result of management determining that the net book value of this property was less than the recoverable value. This charge was included as a component of "Operating, general and administrative expenses." Management determined that no assets met the impairment criteria as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019. The results of impairment tests are subject to management’s estimates and assumptions of projected cash flows and operating results. The Company believes that, based on current conditions, materially different reported results are not likely to result from long-lived asset impairments. However, a change in assumptions or market conditions could result in a change in estimated future cash flows and the likelihood of materially different reported results. (m) Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for a majority of its workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle accident and associate medical benefit claims. The self-insurance liability for most of the medical benefit claims is determined based on historical data and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The other self-insurance liabilities including workers’ compensation are determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company is self-insured for certain healthcare claims and stop-loss coverage is maintained for occurrences exceeding a $ 500 thousand specific deductible with a $ 450 thousand aggregating deductible. The Company is liable for workers' compensation claims ranging from $ 1.0 million to $ 2.0 million per claim. Property and casualty insurance coverage is maintained with outside carriers at deductible or retention levels ranging from $ 100 thousand to $ 1.0 million. Significant assumptions used in the development of the actuarial estimates include reliance on the Company’s historical claims data including average monthly claims and average lag time between incurrence and reporting of the claim. (n) Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company reviews the tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns to determine whether and to what extent a benefit can be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and other disclosures related to uncertain tax positions. To the extent interest and penalties would be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts are accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) (o) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. (p) Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of products to the Company’s customers is recognized at the point of sale. Discounts provided to customers at the point of sale through the Weis Club Preferred Shopper loyalty program are recognized as a reduction in sales as products are sold. Periodically, the Company will run a point-based sales incentive program that rewards customers with future sales discounts. The Company makes reasonable and reliable estimates of the amount of future discounts based upon historical experience and its customer data tracking software. Sales are reduced rationally and systematically by these estimates over the life of the program. Discounts to customers at the point of sale provided by vendors, usually in the form of paper coupons, are not recognized as a reduction in sales provided the discounts are redeemable at any retailer that accepts those discounts. The Company records “Deferred revenue” for the sale of gift cards and revenue is recognized in “Net sales” at the time of customer redemption for products. Gift card breakage income is recognized in “Operating, general and administrative expenses” based upon historical redemption patterns and represents the balance of gift cards for which the Company believes the likelihood of redemption by the customer is remote. Sales tax is excluded from “Net sales.” The Company charges sales tax on all taxable customer purchases and remits these taxes monthly to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Merchandise return activity is immaterial to revenues due to products being returned quickly and the relatively low unit cost. (q) Cost of Sales, Including Advertising, Warehousing and Distribution Expenses “Cost of sales, including advertising, warehousing and distribution expenses” consists of direct product costs (net of discounts and allowances), advertising (net of vendor paid cooperative advertising credits), distribution center and transportation costs, as well as manufacturing facility operations. Advertising costs, net of vendor paid cooperative advertising credits, are expensed as incurred which are primarily funded by vendor cooperative advertising credits and occur in the same period as the product is sold. (r) Vendor Allowances Vendor allowances related to the Company's buying and merchandising activities are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales as they are earned, in accordance with the underlying agreement. Off-invoice and bill-back allowances are used to reduce direct product costs upon the receipt of goods. Promotional rebates and credits are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of inventory and recognized when the related inventory is sold. Volume incentive discounts are realized as a reduction of cost of sales at the time it is deemed probable and reasonably estimable that the incentive target will be reached. Long-term contract incentives, which require an exclusive vendor relationship, are allocated over the life of the contract. Promotional allowance funds for specific vendor-sponsored programs are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales as the program occurs and the funds are earned per the agreement. Cash discounts for prompt payment of invoices are realized in cost of sales as invoices are paid. Warehouse and back-haul allowances provided by suppliers for distributing their product through the Company’s distribution system are recorded in cost of sales offsetting costs incurred.

Marketable Securities [Abstract] | |
Marketable Securities | Note 2 Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities are all classified as available-for-sale within “Current Assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company’s marketable securities valued using Level 1 inputs include three public company equity securities, for which quoted market prices are available . The Company’s bond portfolio is valued using Level 2 inputs. The Company’s corporate and municipal bonds are valued using a combination of pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs, which are considered Level 2 inputs. For Level 2 investment valuation, the Company utilizes standard pricing procedures of its investment advisory firm(s), which include various third-party pricing services. These procedures also require specific price monitoring practices as well as pricing review reports, valuation oversight and pricing challenge procedures to maintain the most accurate representation of investment fair market value. The Company accrues interest on its bond portfolio throughout the life of each bond held. Dividends from the equity securities are recognized as received. Both interest and dividends are recognized in “Investment income and interest expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized investment income of $ 536 thousand, $ 4.1 million and investment loss of $ 234 thousand which included an unrealized loss in equity securities of $ 1.8 million, an unrealized gain in equity securities of $ 2.0 million and an unrealized loss in equity securities of $ 1.6 million in the fiscal years ended December 26, 2020, December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively.

Participants in the plans earn a return on their deferrals based on mutual fund investments. The Company chooses to invest in the underlying mutual fund investments to offset the liability associated with the non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Such investments are reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as “SERP investment,” are classified as trading securities and are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs with gains and losses included in “Investment income and interest expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized investment income of $ 3.3 million, $ 3.0 million, and investment loss of $ 931 thousand in fiscal years ended December, 26, 2020, December 28, 20219, and December 29, 2018 The changes in the underlying liability to the associates are recorded in “Other income (expense) .” |

If all inventories were valued on the average cost method, which approximates current cost, total inventories would have been $ 70.4 million and $ 70.7 million higher than as reported on the above methods as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. During 2020 and 2019, the Company had certain decrements in its LIFO pools, which had an insignificant impact on the cost of sales. |

Retirement Plans [Abstract] | |
Retirement Plans | Note 6 Retirement Plans The Company has a qualified retirement savings plan, the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan, covering substantially all associates. The plan has a contributory component as well as a noncontributory profit-sharing component for certain associates. The noncontributory component covers eligible associates which included certain salaried associates, store management and administrative support personnel. The Company also has a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan covering highly compensated employees of the Company. The Company’s policy is to fund retirement plan costs as accrued, with the exception of the deferred compensation plan. Employer contributions to the qualified retirement plan are made at the sole discretion of the Company. Retirement plan costs: (dollars in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Retirement savings plan 4,949 3,434 3,525 Deferred compensation plan 806 801 508 Supplemental executive retirement plan 463 498 390 $ 6,218 $ 4,733 $ 4,423 The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the payment of specific amounts of annual retirement benefits to certain officers or their beneficiaries over an actuarially computed normal life expectancy. Currently, there are no active officers in the plan. The expected payments under the plan provisions were determined through actuarial calculations dependent on the age of the recipient, using an assumed discount rate. The plan is unfunded and accounted for on an accrual basis. The recorded liability at December 26, 2020 is $ 4.0 million which is based on expected payments to be made over the remaining lives of the beneficiaries. This amount is included in “Accrued expenses” and “Postretirement benefit obligations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expected payment amounts are approximately $ 1.0 million for 2021 and for the years thereafter dependent on the lives of the beneficiaries. The Company also maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan for certain of its associates. This plan is designed to provide retirement benefits and salary deferral opportunities because of limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and the Regulations implemented by the Internal Revenue Service. This plan is unfunded and accounted for on an accrual basis. Participants in this plan are excluded from participation in the profit sharing portion of the Weis Markets, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan once their yearly earnings exceed the IRS highly compensated threshold. The Board of Directors annually determines the amount of the allocation to the plans at its sole discretion. The allocation among the various plan participants is made in both flat dollar amounts and in relationship to their compensation. Plan participants are 100% vested in their accounts after three years of service with the Company. Benefits are distributed among participants upon termination or retirement. Substantial risk of benefit forfeiture does exist for participants in this plan. The present value of accumulated benefits amounted to $ 22.8 million and $ 19.0 million at December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively, and is included in “Postretirement benefit obligations” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining such deposits with high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy. The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investment amounts classified as cash equivalents as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 totaled $ 95.9 million and $ 32.9 million , respectively. Consumer electronic payments accepted at the point of sale, including all credit card, debit card and electronic benefits transfer transactions that process in three days or less are classified as cash equivalents. Consumer electronic payment amounts classified as cash equivalents as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 totaled $ 41.7 million and $ 23.1 million, respectively. |
Marketable Securities [Policy Text Block] | (f) Marketable Securities Marketable securities consist of corporate and municipal bonds and equity securities. The Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable debt securities. The Company classifies all of its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted market price based on national markets. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on corporate and municipal bonds are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Unrealized holding gains and losses on equity securities are recorded in investment income (loss) and interest expense. A decline in the fair value below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value and the unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in investment income (loss) and interest expense. The Company recognized a $ 1.8 million loss in 2020 and a $ 2.0 million gain in 2019. |
Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block] | (g) Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $ 2.4 million and $ 2.8 million as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. The reserve balance relates to amounts due from pharmacy third party providers, retail customer returned checks, manufacturing customers, vendors and tenants. The Company maintains an allowance for the amount of receivables deemed to be uncollectible and calculates this amount based upon historical collection activity adjusted for current conditions. |
Inventories [Policy Text Block] | (h) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using both the retail inventory and average cost methods. The retail inventory method is commonly used by retail companies to determine cost and calculate gross margin based on applying a cost-to-retail ratio to each similar merchandise category’s ending retail value. The Company’s center store and pharmacy inventories are valued using last in, first out (LIFO). The Company’s fresh inventories are valued using average cost. The Company evaluates inventory shortages throughout the year based on actual physical counts in its facilities. Allowances for inventory shortages are recorded based on the results of these counts and to provide for estimated shortages from the last physical count to the financial statement date. |
Property and Equipment [Policy Text Block] | (i) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the cost of buildings and improvements and equipment using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed and renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on the disposition is credited or charged to “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” |
Leases | (j) Leases The Company leases approximately 51 % of its open store facilities under operating leases that expire at various dates through 2036, with the remaining store facilities being owned. These leases generally provide for fixed annual rentals; however, several provide for minimum annual rentals plus variable lease costs related to real estate taxes and insurance as well as contingent rentals based on a percentage of annual sales or increases periodically based on inflation. These variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the operating lease right-to-use assets or lease liabilities and are charged to the related expense category included in “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” Most of the leases contain multiple renewal options, under which the Company may extend the lease terms from 5 to 20 years. Additionally, the Company has operating leases for certain transportation and other equipment. The Company leases or subleases space to tenants in owned, vacated and open store facilities. Rental income is recorded when earned as a component of “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets [Policy Text Block] | (k) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests when indicators of impairment are identified. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized until their useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s intangible assets and related accumulated amortization at December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 consisted of the following: December 26, 2020 December 28, 2019 Accumulated Accumulated (dollars in thousands) Gross Amortization Net Gross Amortization Net Liquor licenses $ 15,032 $ - $ 15,032 $ 14,905 $ - $ 14,905 Asset acquisitions and other 5,083 3,345 1,738 5,083 2,888 2,195 Total $ 20,115 $ 3,345 $ 16,770 $ 19,988 $ 2,888 $ 17,100 Intangible assets with a definite useful life are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods up to 10 years for customer lists. Estimated amortization expense for the next five fiscal years is approximately $ 444 thousand in 2021, $ 320 thousand in 2022, $ 310 thousand in 2023, $ 310 thousand in 2024 and $ 147 thousand in 2025. As of December 26, 2020, the Company’s intangible assets with indefinite lives consisted of goodwill and liquor licenses. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets [Policy Text Block] | (l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates the period of depreciation or amortization for long-lived assets to determine whether current circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company completes an impairment test annually. The Company also reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. An impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of net book value over the fair value of the asset impaired. The fair value is estimated based on current market values or expected discounted future cash flows. With respect to owned property and equipment associated with closed stores, the value of the property and equipment would be adjusted to reflect recoverable values if current economic conditions and estimated fair values of the property was less than the net book value. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment , the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $ 1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 for the impairment of long-lived assets, including equipment and leasehold improvements. The charge was a result of management determining that the net book value of this property was less than the recoverable value. This charge was included as a component of "Operating, general and administrative expenses." Management determined that no assets met the impairment criteria as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019. The results of impairment tests are subject to management’s estimates and assumptions of projected cash flows and operating results. The Company believes that, based on current conditions, materially different reported results are not likely to result from long-lived asset impairments. However, a change in assumptions or market conditions could result in a change in estimated future cash flows and the likelihood of materially different reported results. |
Self-Insurance [Policy Text Block] | (m) Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for a majority of its workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle accident and associate medical benefit claims. The self-insurance liability for most of the medical benefit claims is determined based on historical data and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The other self-insurance liabilities including workers’ compensation are determined actuarially, based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company is self-insured for certain healthcare claims and stop-loss coverage is maintained for occurrences exceeding a $ 500 thousand specific deductible with a $ 450 thousand aggregating deductible. The Company is liable for workers' compensation claims ranging from $ 1.0 million to $ 2.0 million per claim. Property and casualty insurance coverage is maintained with outside carriers at deductible or retention levels ranging from $ 100 thousand to $ 1.0 million. Significant assumptions used in the development of the actuarial estimates include reliance on the Company’s historical claims data including average monthly claims and average lag time between incurrence and reporting of the claim. |
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block] | (n) Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company reviews the tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns to determine whether and to what extent a benefit can be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the amount of unrecognized tax benefits and other disclosures related to uncertain tax positions. To the extent interest and penalties would be assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income tax, such amounts are accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense. |
Earnings Per Share [Policy Text Block] | (o) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. |
Revenue Recognition [Policy Text Block] | (p) Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sale of products to the Company’s customers is recognized at the point of sale. Discounts provided to customers at the point of sale through the Weis Club Preferred Shopper loyalty program are recognized as a reduction in sales as products are sold. Periodically, the Company will run a point-based sales incentive program that rewards customers with future sales discounts. The Company makes reasonable and reliable estimates of the amount of future discounts based upon historical experience and its customer data tracking software. Sales are reduced rationally and systematically by these estimates over the life of the program. Discounts to customers at the point of sale provided by vendors, usually in the form of paper coupons, are not recognized as a reduction in sales provided the discounts are redeemable at any retailer that accepts those discounts. The Company records “Deferred revenue” for the sale of gift cards and revenue is recognized in “Net sales” at the time of customer redemption for products. Gift card breakage income is recognized in “Operating, general and administrative expenses” based upon historical redemption patterns and represents the balance of gift cards for which the Company believes the likelihood of redemption by the customer is remote. Sales tax is excluded from “Net sales.” The Company charges sales tax on all taxable customer purchases and remits these taxes monthly to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction. Merchandise return activity is immaterial to revenues due to products being returned quickly and the relatively low unit cost. |
Cost of Sales, Including Advertising, Warehousing and Distribution Expenses [Policy Text Block] | (q) Cost of Sales, Including Advertising, Warehousing and Distribution Expenses “Cost of sales, including advertising, warehousing and distribution expenses” consists of direct product costs (net of discounts and allowances), advertising (net of vendor paid cooperative advertising credits), distribution center and transportation costs, as well as manufacturing facility operations. Advertising costs, net of vendor paid cooperative advertising credits, are expensed as incurred which are primarily funded by vendor cooperative advertising credits and occur in the same period as the product is sold. |
Vendor Allowances [Policy Text Block] | (r) Vendor Allowances Vendor allowances related to the Company's buying and merchandising activities are recorded as a reduction of cost of sales as they are earned, in accordance with the underlying agreement. Off-invoice and bill-back allowances are used to reduce direct product costs upon the receipt of goods. Promotional rebates and credits are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of inventory and recognized when the related inventory is sold. Volume incentive discounts are realized as a reduction of cost of sales at the time it is deemed probable and reasonably estimable that the incentive target will be reached. Long-term contract incentives, which require an exclusive vendor relationship, are allocated over the life of the contract. Promotional allowance funds for specific vendor-sponsored programs are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales as the program occurs and the funds are earned per the agreement. Cash discounts for prompt payment of invoices are realized in cost of sales as invoices are paid. Warehouse and back-haul allowances provided by suppliers for distributing their product through the Company’s distribution system are recorded in cost of sales offsetting costs incurred. Warehouse slotting allowances are recorded in cost of sales when new items are initially set up in the Company's distribution system, which is when the related expenses are incurred and performance under the agreement is complete. Swell allowances for damaged goods are realized in cost of sales as provided by the supplier, helping to offset product shrink losses also recorded in cost of sales. Vendor allowances recorded as credits in cost of sales totaled $ 133.5 million in 2020, $ 130.4 million in 2019 and $ 132.0 million in 2018. Vendor paid cooperative advertising credits totaled $ 21.7 million in 2020, $ 24.8 million in 2019 and $ 19.4 million in 2018. These credits were netted against advertising costs within “Cost of Sales, including Advertising, Warehousing and Distribution expenses.” The Company had accounts receivable due from vendors of $ 886 thousand and $ 1.0 million for earned advertising credits and $ 8.6 million and $ 9.5 million for earned promotional discounts as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. The Company had $ 3.3 million and $ 5.4 million in unearned income included in accrued liabilities for unearned vendor programs under long-term contracts for display and shelf space allocation as of December 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019, respectively. |
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses [Policy Text Block] | (s) Operating, General and Administrative Expenses Business operating costs including expenses generated from administration and purchasing functions, are recorded in “Operating, general and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Business operating costs include items such as wages, benefits, utilities, repairs and maintenance, rent, insurance, depreciation, leasehold amortization and costs for outside provided services. |
Advertising Costs [Policy Text Block] | (t) Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company recorded advertising expense, before vendor paid cooperative advertising credits, of $ 24.5 million in 2020, $ 30.3 million in 2019 and $ 30.5 million in 2018 in “Cost of Sales, including Advertising, Warehousing and Distribution Expenses.” |
Rental and Commission Income [Policy Text Block] | (u) Rental and Commission Income The Company leases or subleases space to tenants in owned, vacated and open store facilities. Rental income is recorded when earned as a component of “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” All leases are operating leases. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosure on operating leases and rental income. The Company provides a variety of services to its customers, including but not limited to lottery, money orders, third-party gift cards, and third-party bill pay services. Commission income earned from these services are recorded when earned as a component of “Operating, general and administrative expenses.” The Company recorded commission income of $ 17.7 million in 2020, $ 18.3 million in 2019 and $ 17.9 million in 2018. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (v) Current Relevant Accounting Standards The Company regularly monitors recently issued accounting standards and assesses their applicabilty and impact. The Company believes that there are no accounting standard updates that have or will have a material or significant impact on the Company’s accounting policies. |
