	Dec. 28, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	-1	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Description of Business
	Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (“DPI”), a Delaware corporation, conducts its operations and derives substantially all of its operating income and cash flows through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Domino’s, Inc. (Domino’s) and Domino’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Domino’s Pizza LLC (“DPLLC”). DPI and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) are primarily engaged in the following business activities: (i) retail sales of food through Company-owned Domino’s Pizza stores; (ii) sales of food, equipment and supplies to Company-owned and franchised Domino’s Pizza stores through Company-owned supply chain centers; and (iii) receipt of royalties and fees from domestic and international Domino’s Pizza franchisees.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DPI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	Fiscal Year
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. The 2014 fiscal year ended on December 28, 2014, the 2013 fiscal year ended on December 29, 2013 and the 2012 fiscal year ended on December 30, 2012. The 2014, 2013 and 2012 fiscal years each consisted of fifty-two weeks.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
	Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Restricted cash at December 28, 2014 includes $56.2 million of cash held for future principal and interest payments, $20.8 million of cash held in a three month interest reserve, $43.9 million of cash held as collateral for outstanding letters of credit and $0.1 million of other restricted cash.
	Restricted cash at December 29, 2013 included $51.3 million of cash held for future principal and interest payments, $21.0 million of cash held in a three month interest reserve, $42.0 million of cash held as collateral for outstanding letters of credit, $11.1 million of cash related to the Company’s third quarter 2013 dividend payment to shareholders and $0.1 million of other restricted cash.
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Inventories at December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 are comprised of the following (in thousands):
			2014		2013
	Food		$	31,627	$	25,673
	Equipment and supplies			6,317		4,648
	Inventories		$	37,944	$	30,321
	Notes Receivable
	During the normal course of business, the Company may provide financing to franchisees in the form of notes. Notes receivable generally require monthly payments of principal and interest, or monthly payments of interest only, generally ranging from 8% to 10%, with balloon payments of the remaining principal due two to seven years from the original issuance date. Such notes are generally secured by the related assets or business. The carrying amounts of these notes approximate fair value.
	Other Assets
	Current and long-term other assets primarily include prepaid expenses such as insurance, rent and taxes, deposits, as well as covenants not-to-compete and other intangible assets primarily arising from franchise acquisitions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives for covenants not-to-compete and other intangible assets and was approximately $0.1 million in 2014 and approximately $0.3 million in 2013 and 2012. As of December 28, 2014, these intangible assets were fully amortized. As of December 29, 2013, the carrying value of these intangible assets was approximately $0.1 million.
	Asset Held-for-Sale
	During the third quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors approved the sale of the existing corporate airplane, which the Company began actively marketing in the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result of these actions, the Company met held-for-sale criteria and classified the asset as held for sale. Subsequent to year end, the Company sold the asset for approximately $5.7 million.
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives, other than the estimated useful life of the capital lease assets as described below, are generally as follows (in years):
	Buildings		20
	Leasehold and other improvements		7 – 15
	Equipment		3 – 15
	Included in land and buildings as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 are capital lease assets of approximately $1.5 million and $1.9 million, which are net of $5.9 million and $5.5 million of accumulated amortization, respectively, primarily related to the lease of a supply chain center building, and to a lesser extent, leases of computer equipment. The capital lease assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease terms.
	Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment was approximately $28.4 million, $20.5 million and $19.5 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets at least annually based on various analyses including the projection of undiscounted cash flows and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. For Company-owned stores, the Company performs this evaluation on an operating market basis, which the Company has determined to be the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other cash flows. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the amount of the expected future undiscounted cash flows of that asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
	During the fourth quarter of 2014, in connection with meeting held-for-sale criteria for its corporate airplane, the Company recorded $5.8 million of pre-tax expense to reduce the asset to its fair value less cost to sell. This impairment loss was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. Aside from the impairment loss on the corporate airplane in 2014, the Company did not record an impairment loss on long-lived assets in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
	Investments in Marketable Securities
	Investments in marketable securities consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plan (Note 7). These investments are stated at aggregate fair value, are restricted and have been placed in a rabbi trust whereby the amounts are irrevocably set aside to fund the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plan. The Company classifies and accounts for these investments in marketable securities as trading securities.
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs primarily include debt issuance costs incurred by the Company as part of the 2012 Recapitalization (Note 4). Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the respective debt instrument to which the costs relate and is included in interest expense.
	In connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company recorded an additional $32.5 million of deferred financing costs as an asset during fiscal 2012. This amount, in addition to the $7.4 million recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2012, is being amortized into interest expense over the seven-year expected term of the debt. Additionally, in connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company had write-offs of financing costs totaling approximately $8.0 million related to the extinguishment of the previous debt facility.
	In connection with scheduled principal payments of its Fixed Rate Notes (Note 4), the Company expensed financing costs of approximately $0.2 million in 2014, $0.5 million in 2013 and $0.4 million in 2012. Deferred financing cost expense, including the aforementioned amounts, was approximately $5.7 million, $6.1 million and $13.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Goodwill
	The Company’s goodwill amounts primarily relate to franchise store acquisitions and are not amortized. The Company performs its required impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
	Capitalized Software
	Capitalized software is recorded at cost and includes purchased, internally-developed and externally-developed software used in the Company’s operations. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, which range from one to three years. Capitalized software amortization expense was approximately $7.3 million, $5.0 million and $3.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company received $3.4 million, $3.0 million and $2.7 million from franchisees from sales and enhancements of internally developed point-of-sale software during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Insurance Reserves
	The Company has retention programs for workers’ compensation, general liability and owned and non-owned automobile liabilities for certain periods prior to December 1998 and for periods after December 2001. The Company is generally responsible for up to $1.0 million per occurrence under these retention programs for workers’ compensation and general liability exposures. The Company is also generally responsible for between $500,000 and $3.0 million per occurrence under these retention programs for owned and non-owned automobile liabilities depending on the year. Total insurance limits under these retention programs vary depending on the year covered and range up to $110.0 million per occurrence for general liability and owned and non-owned automobile liabilities and up to the applicable statutory limits for workers’ compensation.
	Insurance reserves relating to our retention programs are based on undiscounted actuarial estimates. These estimates are based on historical information and on certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such factors as medical costs and legal actions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the near term. The Company receives estimates of outstanding insurance exposures from its independent actuary and differences between these estimated actuarial exposures and the Company’s recorded amounts are adjusted as appropriate.
	Other Accrued Liabilities
	Current and long-term other accrued liabilities primarily include accruals for sales, property and other taxes, store operating expenses, deferred rent expense and deferred compensation liabilities.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The Company’s foreign entities use their local currency as the functional currency. Where the functional currency is the local currency, the Company translates net assets into U.S. dollars at year end exchange rates, while income and expense accounts are translated at average annual exchange rates. Currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income.
	Revenue Recognition
	Domestic Company-owned stores revenues are comprised of retail sales of food through Company-owned Domino’s Pizza stores located in the contiguous United States and are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by customers.
	Domestic franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees with operations in the contiguous United States. Royalty revenues are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by franchise customers.
	Supply chain revenues are primarily comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies to franchised Domino’s Pizza stores located in the United States and Canada. Revenues from the sales of food are recognized upon delivery of the food to franchisees, while revenues from the sales of equipment and supplies are generally recognized upon shipment of the related products to franchisees.
	International franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees outside the contiguous United States. These revenues are recognized consistently with the policies applied for franchise revenues generated in the contiguous United States.
	Supply Chain Profit-Sharing Arrangements
	The Company enters into profit-sharing arrangements with domestic and Canadian stores that purchase all of their food from Supply Chain (Note 11). These profit-sharing arrangements generally offer Company-owned stores and participating franchisees with 50% (or a higher percentage in the case of Company-owned stores and certain franchisees who operate a larger number of stores) of their regional supply chain center’s pre-tax profits based upon each store’s purchases from the supply chain center. Profit-sharing obligations are recorded as a revenue reduction in Supply Chain in the same period as the related revenues and costs are recorded, and were $75.7 million, $73.9 million and $69.4 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Advertising
	Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which relates primarily to Company-owned stores, was approximately $29.0 million, $29.6 million and $27.6 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Domestic Stores (Note 11) are required to contribute a certain percentage of sales to the Domino’s National Advertising Fund Inc. (DNAF), a not-for-profit subsidiary that administers the Domino’s Pizza system’s national and market level advertising activities. Included in advertising expense were national advertising contributions from Company-owned stores to DNAF of approximately $20.9 million, $20.1 million and $17.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. DNAF also received national advertising contributions from franchisees of approximately $217.7 million, $199.4 million and $173.6 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Franchisee contributions to DNAF and offsetting disbursements are presented net in the accompanying statements of income.
	DNAF assets, consisting primarily of cash received from franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s Pizza® brand. Accordingly, all assets held by the DNAF are considered restricted.
	Rent
	The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, retail store and supply chain center locations and its corporate headquarters under operating leases with expiration dates through 2024. Rent expenses totaled approximately $43.0 million, $40.2 million and $39.7 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Common Stock Dividends
During 2014, the Company declared dividends of approximately $55.3 million, or $1.00 per share, of which approximately $41.7 million were paid in 2014. The third quarter 2014 dividend of approximately $13.8 million was paid to shareholders on December 30, 2014, which will be included in fiscal 2015.
During 2013, the Company declared dividends of approximately $44.2 million, or $0.80 per share, of which approximately $34.2 million were paid in 2013. The third quarter 2013 dividend of approximately $11.1 million was paid to shareholders on December 30, 2013, which was included in fiscal 2014.
During 2012, the Company declared dividends and dividend equivalents totaling approximately $187.0 million, or $3.00 per share, of which approximately $185.5 million were paid in 2012.
Derivative Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The Company had no outstanding derivative instruments as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013.
In connection with its recapitalization in 2007 (the “2007 Recapitalization”), the Company entered into a five-year forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.25 billion. This interest rate swap was entered into to hedge the variability of future interest rates in contemplation of the recapitalization-related debt issuances. The Company subsequently settled the swap agreement with a cash payment of $11.5 million, in accordance with its terms, concurrent with the issuance of debt as part of the 2007 Recapitalization. In connection with this settlement, the accumulated other comprehensive loss amount was adjusted for the after-tax net settlement amount of $7.1 million which was being amortized into interest expense over the term of the hedged item. As part of the 2012 Recapitalization, the remaining amount of this swap settlement that was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was recorded into interest expense.
Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements
The cost of all of the Company’s stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
Earnings Per Share
The Company discloses two calculations of earnings per share (EPS): basic EPS and diluted EPS. The numerator in calculating common stock basic and diluted EPS is consolidated net income. The denominator in calculating common stock basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding. The denominator in calculating common stock diluted EPS includes the additional dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock and unvested performance-based restricted stock grants.
Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information
The Company paid interest of approximately $81.1 million, $82.9 million and $87.3 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $76.5 million, $62.8 million and $46.1 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2014, the Company had $1.7 million of non-cash investing activities related to accruals for capital expenditures.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2017, and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1:		Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2:		Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
	Level 3:		Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
	The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets at December 28, 2014:

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
RECAPITALIZATIONS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS	-4	RECAPITALIZATIONS AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
	2012 Recapitalization
	On March 16, 2012, the Company completed a recapitalization transaction (the 2012 Recapitalization). As part of the 2012 Recapitalization, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPLLC and three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries completed an asset-backed securitization (ABS) by co-issuing a $1.675 billion facility in a private transaction consisting of $1.575 billion of Series 2012-1 5.216% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, Class A-2 (the Fixed Rate Notes) and $100.0 million of Series 2012-1 Variable Funding Senior Secured Notes, Class A-1 (the Variable Funding Notes). Gross proceeds from the issuance of the Fixed Rate Notes were $1.575 billion. The Variable Funding Notes were undrawn upon at issuance.
	The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 2012 Recapitalization to repay approximately $1.447 billion in outstanding fixed rate notes under the 2007 Recapitalization. The proceeds were also used to pay accrued interest on fixed rate notes under the 2007 Recapitalization and transaction-related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2012 Recapitalization and to fund reserve accounts for the payments related to the Fixed Rate Notes.
	Also on March 16, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $3.00 per share special cash dividend on its outstanding common stock totaling $171.1 million, which was paid on April 2, 2012 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 26, 2012. Additionally, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions in the Company’s underlying stock option plans, on April 2, 2012, the Company made a corresponding cash payment of approximately $13.5 million on certain stock options, reduced the exercise price on certain other stock options by an equivalent per share amount and, in certain circumstances, both reduced the stock option exercise price and made a cash payment for amounts totaling $3.00 per share. On April 2, 2012, the Company also accrued an estimated $2.4 million for payments to be made as certain performance-based restricted stock grants vest. The dividend and related dividend equivalent payments were funded with the remaining proceeds from the 2012 Recapitalization and cash on hand. These anti-dilution payments were accounted for as modifications/settlements and were recorded as increases in total stockholders’ deficit. As of December 30, 2012, total cash paid for common stock dividends and related anti-dilution equivalent payments was approximately $185.5 million and the total estimated liability recorded for future cash dividend payments on certain performance-based restricted stock was approximately $1.5 million. As of December 28, 2014, the total estimated liability recorded for future cash dividend payments on certain performance-based restricted stock was approximately $0.6 million. Of the total amount of $187.0 million recorded for common stock dividends and related anti-dilution payments in 2012, $10.2 million was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and $176.8 million was recorded as an increase in retained deficit.
	During fiscal 2012 and in connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company incurred approximately $10.5 million of net expenses. This consisted primarily of $8.1 million of net write-offs of deferred financing fees and the interest rate swap related to the extinguished debt. The Company also incurred $2.1 million of interest expense on the 2007 Recapitalization borrowings subsequent to the closing of the 2012 Recapitalization but prior to the repayment of the 2007 Recapitalization borrowings, resulting in the payment of interest on both the 2007 and 2012 facilities for a short period of time. Further, the Company incurred $0.3 million of other net 2012 Recapitalization-related general and administrative expenses, including stock compensation expenses, payroll taxes related to the payments made to certain stock option holders and legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the 2012 Recapitalization.
	In connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company recorded an additional $32.5 million of deferred financing costs as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet during fiscal 2012. This amount, in addition to the $7.4 million recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2012, is being amortized into interest expense over the seven-year expected term of the debt.
	The Fixed Rate Notes and the Variable Funding Notes
	The Fixed Rate Notes bear interest at 5.216% payable quarterly. The Fixed Rate Notes have scheduled principal amortization payments while the Variable Funding Notes require no scheduled principal amortization payments. The Fixed Rate Notes original scheduled principal amortization payments are $29.5 million in 2015, $37.4 million in 2016, $39.4 million in each of 2017 and 2018, and $9.8 million in 2019. During fiscal 2014, the Company made principal payments of approximately $11.8 million. If the Company meets certain conditions, including maximum leverage ratios of less than or equal to 4.5x total debt to EBITDA, as defined in the related agreements, it ceases the scheduled principal amortization payments on the Fixed Rate Notes. If one of the defined leverage ratios subsequently exceeds 4.5x, it must make up the payments it had previously not made. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company met the maximum leverage ratios of less than 4.5x, and, in accordance with the debt agreements, ceased debt amortization payments in the third quarter of 2014. The Company continued to meet the maximum leverage ratios of less than 4.5x in the third and fourth quarters of 2014 and currently does not plan to make previously scheduled debt amortization payments as permitted in the debt agreements. The expected repayment date for the Fixed Rate Notes is January 2019, with legal final maturity in January 2042.
	The Fixed Rate Notes and the Variable Funding Notes are guaranteed by four subsidiaries of DPLLC and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, including royalty income from all domestic stores, domestic supply chain income, international income and intellectual property. The restrictions placed on the Company’s subsidiaries require that the Company’s interest obligations have first priority and amounts are segregated weekly to ensure appropriate funds are reserved to pay the quarterly interest amounts due. The amount of weekly cash flow that exceeds the required weekly interest reserve is generally remitted to the Company in the form of a dividend. However, once the interest obligations are satisfied, there are no further restrictions, including payment of dividends, on the cash flows of the subsidiaries.
	The Fixed Rate Notes are subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a debt service coverage ratio calculation, as defined in the related agreements. The covenants, among other things, limit the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to declare dividends, make loans or advances or enter into transactions with affiliates. In the event that certain covenants are not met, the Fixed Rate Notes may become partially or fully due and payable on an accelerated schedule. In addition, the Company may voluntarily prepay, in part or in full, the Fixed Rate Notes at any time, subject to certain make-whole interest obligations. All make-whole interest obligations cease after July 2017. Further, the Company may elect to prepay up to $551.3 million of its Fixed Rate Notes at par and with no make-whole obligations on its quarterly payment date in October 2015 or on any quarterly payment date thereafter.
	The Variable Funding Notes allowed for the issuance of up to $100.0 million of financing and certain other credit instruments, including letters of credit in support of various obligations of the Company. Interest on a portion of any outstanding Variable Funding Note borrowings is payable quarterly at a rate equal to a commercial paper rate plus 350 basis points, with the remainder at LIBOR plus 350 basis points. The Variable Funding Notes have an expected maturity in January 2017, with an option for up to two one-year renewals (subject to certain conditions, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio), and a legal final maturity in January 2042. At December 28, 2014, there were $44.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $55.9 million of borrowing capacity available under the $100.0 million Variable Funding Notes.
	At December 28, 2014, management estimates that the approximately $1.522 billion in principal amount of outstanding Fixed Rate Notes had a fair value of approximately $1.597 billion, and at December 29, 2013 the approximately $1.534 billion in principal amount of Fixed Rate Notes had a fair value of approximately $1.643 billion. The Fixed Rate Notes are classified as a Level 2 measurement (Note 3), as the Company estimated the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained broker quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s Fixed Rate Notes and, at times, trade these notes. Further, the Company performs its own internal analysis based on the information it gathers from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to that of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values calculated above.

	Legal Proceedings and Related Matters
	The Company is a party to lawsuits, revenue agent reviews by taxing authorities and legal proceedings, of which the majority involve workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, general liability and automobile and franchisee claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records legal fees associated with loss contingencies when they are probable and reasonably estimable.
	Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. Included in the matters referenced above, the Company is party to three employment practice cases, six casualty cases and one patent case. We have established legal and insurance accruals for losses relating to these cases which we believe are reasonable based upon our assessment of the current facts and circumstances. However, it is reasonably possible that our ultimate losses could exceed the amounts recorded by $4.0 million. The remaining cases referenced above could be decided unfavorably to us and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts or a range of amounts that cannot be estimated with accuracy. In management’s opinion, these matters, individually and in the aggregate, should not have a significant adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, and the established accruals adequately provide for the estimated resolution of such claims.
	Additionally, the Company was also named as a defendant in a lawsuit along with a large franchisee and the franchisee’s delivery driver. During the third quarter of 2013, the jury delivered a $32.0 million judgment for the plaintiff where the Company was found to be 60% liable. The Company denies liability and filed an appeal of the verdict on a variety of grounds. This case is covered under the Company’s casualty insurance program, subject to a $3.0 million deductible. The Company also has indemnity provisions in its franchise agreements.

	Net deferred income taxes		$	10,710		$	(4,660	)	$	6,050
	Realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon many factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income. Although realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. On an ongoing basis, management will assess whether it remains more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.
	For financial reporting purposes the Company’s investment in foreign subsidiaries does not exceed its tax basis. Therefore no deferred income taxes have been provided.
	The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable, based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents. For tax positions meeting the “more likely than not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense.
	During 2012, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $0.7 million to reflect an increased tax basis for certain Company assets due to the issuance of final tax regulations. Additionally, during 2012 and in connection with the sale of its six remaining Company-owned stores in a certain market to a franchisee, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset related to the capital loss that resulted from the write-off of the tax basis goodwill associated with the market that was sold. Management believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized and provided a valuation allowance of approximately $0.9 million. The valuation allowance was recorded as an increase to the provision for income taxes and increased the Company’s 2012 effective tax rate. On an ongoing basis, management will assess whether it remains more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized.
	During 2012, the Company accrued interest expense of $0.1 million. At December 30, 2012, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $3.5 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $2.1 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At December 30, 2012, the Company had $0.5 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. This amount is excluded from the $3.5 million total unrecognized tax benefit.
	During 2013, the Company accrued interest expense of $0.1 million. At December 29, 2013, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $3.6 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $2.1 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At December 29, 2013, the Company had $0.6 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. This amount is excluded from the $3.6 million total unrecognized tax benefit.
During 2014 and in connection with the sale of 14 Company-owned stores to franchisees, the Company recognized a capital gain and also released $0.3 million of a deferred tax valuation allowance.
During 2014, the Company accrued interest expense of $0.1 million. At December 28, 2014, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.9 million of which, if ultimately recognized, $1.6 million would be recognized as an income tax benefit and reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. At December 28, 2014, the Company had $0.7 million of accrued interest and no accrued penalties. This amount is excluded from the $2.9 million total unrecognized tax benefit.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that, as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in multiple jurisdictions, the Company may decrease the amount of its gross unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $0.9 million, of which, if recognized, $0.1 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The gross unrecognized tax benefits subject to potential decrease involve issues related to various tax items in multiple jurisdictions.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

The Company continues to be under examination by certain states. The Company’s Federal statute of limitation has expired for years prior to 2011 and the relevant state statutes vary. The Company expects the current ongoing examinations to be concluded in the next twelve months and does not expect the assessment of any significant additional amounts in excess of amounts reserved.

	The Company has a retirement savings plan which qualifies under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). All employees of the Company who have completed 1,000 hours of service and are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan requires the Company to match 100% of the first 3% of each employee’s elective deferrals and 50% of the next 2% of each employee’s elective deferrals. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s matching contributions were made in the form of cash and vested immediately. The expenses incurred for Company contributions to the plan were approximately $4.1 million in 2014, $3.9 million in 2013 and $3.8 million in 2012.
	The Company has established a non-qualified deferred compensation plan available for certain key employees. Under this self-funding plan, the participants may defer up to 40% of their annual compensation. The participants direct the investment of their deferred compensation within several investment funds. The Company is not required to contribute and did not contribute to this plan during 2014, 2013 or 2012.
	The Company has an employee stock purchase discount plan (the ESPDP). Under the ESPDP, eligible employees may deduct up to 15% of their eligible wages to purchase common stock at 85% of the market price of the stock at the purchase date. The ESPDP requires employees to hold their purchased common stock for at least one year. The Company purchases common stock on the open market for the ESPDP at the current market price. There were 25,224 shares, 27,404 shares and 37,769 shares of common stock in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, purchased on the open market for participating employees at a weighted-average price of $74.89 in 2014, $55.24 in 2013 and $34.60 in 2012. The expenses incurred under the ESPDP were approximately $0.3 million in 2014 and $0.2 million in both 2013 and 2012.

	The cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the consolidated statements of income based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
	The Company’s current equity incentive plan benefits certain of the Company’s employees and directors and is named the Domino’s Pizza, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan). As of December 28, 2014, the maximum number of shares that may be granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan is 15,600,000 shares of voting common stock of which 3,382,073 shares were authorized for grant but have not been granted.
	The Company recorded total non-cash compensation expense of $17.6 million, $22.0 million and $17.6 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which reduced net income by $11.1 million, $14.0 million and $10.9 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All non-cash compensation expense amounts are recorded in general and administrative expense.
	Stock Options
	As of December 28, 2014, the number of stock options granted and outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan was 3,590,115 options. Stock options granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and a predecessor plan prior to fiscal 2009 were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of the grant, expired 10 years from the date of grant and vested over five years from the date of grant. Stock options granted from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2012 were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of the grant, expire 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over three years from the date of grant. Stock options granted in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of the grant, expire 10 years from the date of grant and generally vest over four years from the date of grant. Additionally, all stock options granted become fully exercisable upon vesting.
	As part of the 2012 Recapitalization and pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions in the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company made cash payments totaling approximately $13.5 million on certain stock options, reduced the exercise price on certain other stock options by an equivalent per share amount and, in certain circumstances, both reduced the stock option exercise price and made a cash payment totaling $3.00 per share. In accordance with the equity restructuring guidance, these anti-dilution payments were accounted for as modifications/settlements and were recorded as increases in total stockholders’ deficit. Affected stock option exercise prices presented below have been adjusted to reflect these 2012 Recapitalization-related actions.
	Stock option activity related to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan is summarized as follows:
			Common Stock Options
			Outstanding			Weighted			Weighted			Aggregate
						Average			Average			Intrinsic

	Exercisable at December 28, 2014			2,881,874		$	14.28			4.5		$	233,930
	The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $68.1 million, $46.0 million and $27.5 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was approximately $9.0 million, $9.5 million and $8.9 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The tax benefit realized from stock options exercised was approximately $23.6 million, $15.5 million and $8.7 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The Company recorded total non-cash compensation expense of $4.4 million, $6.9 million and $5.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to stock option awards. As of December 28, 2014, there was $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan which generally will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the related vesting period. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.
	Management estimated the fair value of each option grant made during 2014, 2013 and 2012 as of the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. Weighted average assumptions are presented in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the estimated effective life, and is estimated based on U.S. Treasury Bond rates as of the grant date. The expected life (years) is based on several factors, including, among other things, the vesting term and contractual term as well as historical experience. The expected volatility is based principally on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price.
			2014			2013			2012
	Risk-free interest rate			1.8	%		1.1	%		1	%
	Expected life (years)			5.5			5.5			5
	Expected volatility			33.7	%		38.7	%		45	%
	Expected dividend yield			1.4	%		1.6	%		0	%
	Weighted average fair value per option		$	21.16		$	15.84		$	13.7
	Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. In management’s opinion, existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options, as changes in subjective input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.
	Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements
	The Company granted 10,640 shares, 24,540 shares and 22,420 shares of restricted stock in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to members of its board of directors. These grants generally vest one-year from the date of the grant and have a fair value equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company recorded total non-cash compensation expense of $0.8 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to these restricted stock awards. All non-cash compensation expense amounts are recorded in general and administrative expense. As of December 28, 2014, there was approximately $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to these restricted stock grants.
	The Company granted 119,670 shares, 312,330 shares and 282,170 shares of performance-based restricted stock in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to certain employees of the Company. The performance-based restricted stock awards granted in 2012 are separated into three tranches and have time-based and performance-based vesting conditions with the last tranche vesting three years from the issuance date. The performance-based restricted stock awards granted in 2013 and 2014 are separated into four tranches and have time-based and performance-based vesting conditions with the last tranche vesting four years from the issuance date. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement of holders that have achieved specific service and age requirements. These awards are considered granted for accounting purposes when the performance target is set, which is generally in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company recorded total non-cash compensation expense of $12.4 million, $14.1 million and $11.5 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to these awards. All non-cash compensation expense amounts are recorded in general and administrative expense. As of December 28, 2014, there was an estimated $24.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance-based restricted stock.
	Restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock activity related to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan is summarized as follows:
			Shares			Weighted
						Average
						Grant Date
						Fair Value
	Nonvested at December 29, 2013			627,176		$	23.41
	Shares granted (1)			130,310		$	72.56
	Shares cancelled			(23,189	)	$	49.78
	Shares vested			(303,530	)	$	35.4
	Nonvested at December 28, 2014			430,767		$	54.79
	-1	The weighted average grant date fair value for performance-based restricted shares granted was calculated based on the market price on the grant dates. Certain tranches will ultimately be valued when the performance condition is established for each tranche, which generally occurs in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	-11	SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company has three reportable segments: (i) Domestic Stores; (ii) Supply Chain; and (iii) International Franchise.
	In the fourth quarter of 2014 several organizational changes were made within the Company’s management structure, with one of the changes impacting the management of our supply chain operations. As a result, management determined that our previous domestic supply chain segment and the international supply chain operations division of our previous international segment should be combined into a new global supply chain segment. As a result, we now report the following three business segments: Domestic Stores, Supply Chain and international franchise. While the consolidated results of the Company have not been impacted by this change in our reportable segments, we have restated our historical segment information in order to provide readers of our financial statements a consistent presentation.
	The Company’s operations are organized by management on the combined basis of line of business and geography. The Domestic Stores segment includes operations with respect to all franchised and Company-owned stores throughout the contiguous United States. The Supply Chain segment primarily includes the distribution of food, equipment and supplies to stores from the Company’s regional supply chain centers and its supply chain center operations in Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. The International Franchise segment primarily includes operations related to the Company’s franchising business in foreign and non-contiguous United States markets.
	The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, referred to as Segment Income.
	The tables below summarize the financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments for 2014, 2013 and 2012. Intersegment Revenues are comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies from the Supply Chain segment to the Company-owned stores in the Domestic Stores segment. Intersegment sales prices are market based. The “Other” column as it relates to Segment Income and income from operations information below primarily includes corporate administrative costs. The “Other” column as it relates to capital expenditures primarily includes capitalized software, certain equipment and leasehold improvements. Tabular amounts presented below are in thousands.

		2014		2013
	Food	$	31,627	$	25,673
	Equipment and supplies		6,317		4,648
	Inventories	$	37,944	$	30,321
Notes Receivable	Notes Receivable
	During the normal course of business, the Company may provide financing to franchisees in the form of notes. Notes receivable generally require monthly payments of principal and interest, or monthly payments of interest only, generally ranging from 8% to 10%, with balloon payments of the remaining principal due two to seven years from the original issuance date. Such notes are generally secured by the related assets or business. The carrying amounts of these notes approximate fair value.
Other Assets	Other Assets
	Current and long-term other assets primarily include prepaid expenses such as insurance, rent and taxes, deposits, as well as covenants not-to-compete and other intangible assets primarily arising from franchise acquisitions. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is provided using the straight-line method over the useful lives for covenants not-to-compete and other intangible assets and was approximately $0.1 million in 2014 and approximately $0.3 million in 2013 and 2012. As of December 28, 2014, these intangible assets were fully amortized. As of December 29, 2013, the carrying value of these intangible assets was approximately $0.1 million.
Asset Held for Sale	Asset Held-for-Sale
	During the third quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors approved the sale of the existing corporate airplane, which the Company began actively marketing in the fourth quarter of 2014. As a result of these actions, the Company met held-for-sale criteria and classified the asset as held for sale. Subsequent to year end, the Company sold the asset for approximately $5.7 million.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives, other than the estimated useful life of the capital lease assets as described below, are generally as follows (in years):
	Buildings	20
	Leasehold and other improvements	7 – 15
	Equipment	3 – 15
	Included in land and buildings as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013 are capital lease assets of approximately $1.5 million and $1.9 million, which are net of $5.9 million and $5.5 million of accumulated amortization, respectively, primarily related to the lease of a supply chain center building, and to a lesser extent, leases of computer equipment. The capital lease assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the lease terms.
	Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment was approximately $28.4 million, $20.5 million and $19.5 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Impairments of Long-Lived Assets	Impairments of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets at least annually based on various analyses including the projection of undiscounted cash flows and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. For Company-owned stores, the Company performs this evaluation on an operating market basis, which the Company has determined to be the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other cash flows. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the amount of the expected future undiscounted cash flows of that asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized and the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
	During the fourth quarter of 2014, in connection with meeting held-for-sale criteria for its corporate airplane, the Company recorded $5.8 million of pre-tax expense to reduce the asset to its fair value less cost to sell. This impairment loss was recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. Aside from the impairment loss on the corporate airplane in 2014, the Company did not record an impairment loss on long-lived assets in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Investments in Marketable Securities	Investments in Marketable Securities
	Investments in marketable securities consist of investments in various mutual funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company’s deferred compensation plan (Note 7). These investments are stated at aggregate fair value, are restricted and have been placed in a rabbi trust whereby the amounts are irrevocably set aside to fund the Company’s obligations under the deferred compensation plan. The Company classifies and accounts for these investments in marketable securities as trading securities.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs primarily include debt issuance costs incurred by the Company as part of the 2012 Recapitalization (Note 4). Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the respective debt instrument to which the costs relate and is included in interest expense.
	In connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company recorded an additional $32.5 million of deferred financing costs as an asset during fiscal 2012. This amount, in addition to the $7.4 million recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2012, is being amortized into interest expense over the seven-year expected term of the debt. Additionally, in connection with the 2012 Recapitalization, the Company had write-offs of financing costs totaling approximately $8.0 million related to the extinguishment of the previous debt facility.
	In connection with scheduled principal payments of its Fixed Rate Notes (Note 4), the Company expensed financing costs of approximately $0.2 million in 2014, $0.5 million in 2013 and $0.4 million in 2012. Deferred financing cost expense, including the aforementioned amounts, was approximately $5.7 million, $6.1 million and $13.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Goodwill	Goodwill
	The Company’s goodwill amounts primarily relate to franchise store acquisitions and are not amortized. The Company performs its required impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Capitalized Software	Capitalized Software
	Capitalized software is recorded at cost and includes purchased, internally-developed and externally-developed software used in the Company’s operations. Amortization expense is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, which range from one to three years. Capitalized software amortization expense was approximately $7.3 million, $5.0 million and $3.3 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company received $3.4 million, $3.0 million and $2.7 million from franchisees from sales and enhancements of internally developed point-of-sale software during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Insurance Reserves	Insurance Reserves
	The Company has retention programs for workers’ compensation, general liability and owned and non-owned automobile liabilities for certain periods prior to December 1998 and for periods after December 2001. The Company is generally responsible for up to $1.0 million per occurrence under these retention programs for workers’ compensation and general liability exposures. The Company is also generally responsible for between $500,000 and $3.0 million per occurrence under these retention programs for owned and non-owned automobile liabilities depending on the year. Total insurance limits under these retention programs vary depending on the year covered and range up to $110.0 million per occurrence for general liability and owned and non-owned automobile liabilities and up to the applicable statutory limits for workers’ compensation.
	Insurance reserves relating to our retention programs are based on undiscounted actuarial estimates. These estimates are based on historical information and on certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such factors as medical costs and legal actions, as well as changes in actual experience, could cause these estimates to change in the near term. The Company receives estimates of outstanding insurance exposures from its independent actuary and differences between these estimated actuarial exposures and the Company’s recorded amounts are adjusted as appropriate.
Other Accrued Liabilities	Other Accrued Liabilities
	Current and long-term other accrued liabilities primarily include accruals for sales, property and other taxes, store operating expenses, deferred rent expense and deferred compensation liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation
	The Company’s foreign entities use their local currency as the functional currency. Where the functional currency is the local currency, the Company translates net assets into U.S. dollars at year end exchange rates, while income and expense accounts are translated at average annual exchange rates. Currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in determining net income.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	Domestic Company-owned stores revenues are comprised of retail sales of food through Company-owned Domino’s Pizza stores located in the contiguous United States and are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by customers.
	Domestic franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees with operations in the contiguous United States. Royalty revenues are recognized when the items are delivered to or carried out by franchise customers.
	Supply chain revenues are primarily comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies to franchised Domino’s Pizza stores located in the United States and Canada. Revenues from the sales of food are recognized upon delivery of the food to franchisees, while revenues from the sales of equipment and supplies are generally recognized upon shipment of the related products to franchisees.
	International franchise revenues are primarily comprised of royalties and fees from Domino’s Pizza franchisees outside the contiguous United States. These revenues are recognized consistently with the policies applied for franchise revenues generated in the contiguous United States.
Supply Chain Profit-Sharing Arrangements	Supply Chain Profit-Sharing Arrangements
	The Company enters into profit-sharing arrangements with domestic and Canadian stores that purchase all of their food from Supply Chain (Note 11). These profit-sharing arrangements generally offer Company-owned stores and participating franchisees with 50% (or a higher percentage in the case of Company-owned stores and certain franchisees who operate a larger number of stores) of their regional supply chain center’s pre-tax profits based upon each store’s purchases from the supply chain center. Profit-sharing obligations are recorded as a revenue reduction in Supply Chain in the same period as the related revenues and costs are recorded, and were $75.7 million, $73.9 million and $69.4 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Advertising	Advertising
	Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, which relates primarily to Company-owned stores, was approximately $29.0 million, $29.6 million and $27.6 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Domestic Stores (Note 11) are required to contribute a certain percentage of sales to the Domino’s National Advertising Fund Inc. (DNAF), a not-for-profit subsidiary that administers the Domino’s Pizza system’s national and market level advertising activities. Included in advertising expense were national advertising contributions from Company-owned stores to DNAF of approximately $20.9 million, $20.1 million and $17.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. DNAF also received national advertising contributions from franchisees of approximately $217.7 million, $199.4 million and $173.6 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Franchisee contributions to DNAF and offsetting disbursements are presented net in the accompanying statements of income.
	DNAF assets, consisting primarily of cash received from franchisees and accounts receivable from franchisees, can only be used for activities that promote the Domino’s Pizza® brand. Accordingly, all assets held by the DNAF are considered restricted.
Rent	Rent
	The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, retail store and supply chain center locations and its corporate headquarters under operating leases with expiration dates through 2024. Rent expenses totaled approximately $43.0 million, $40.2 million and $39.7 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Common Stock Dividends	Common Stock Dividends
	During 2014, the Company declared dividends of approximately $55.3 million, or $1.00 per share, of which approximately $41.7 million were paid in 2014. The third quarter 2014 dividend of approximately $13.8 million was paid to shareholders on December 30, 2014, which will be included in fiscal 2015.
	During 2013, the Company declared dividends of approximately $44.2 million, or $0.80 per share, of which approximately $34.2 million were paid in 2013. The third quarter 2013 dividend of approximately $11.1 million was paid to shareholders on December 30, 2013, which was included in fiscal 2014.
	During 2012, the Company declared dividends and dividend equivalents totaling approximately $187.0 million, or $3.00 per share, of which approximately $185.5 million were paid in 2012.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments
	The Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. The Company had no outstanding derivative instruments as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013.
	In connection with its recapitalization in 2007 (the “2007 Recapitalization”), the Company entered into a five-year forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $1.25 billion. This interest rate swap was entered into to hedge the variability of future interest rates in contemplation of the recapitalization-related debt issuances. The Company subsequently settled the swap agreement with a cash payment of $11.5 million, in accordance with its terms, concurrent with the issuance of debt as part of the 2007 Recapitalization. In connection with this settlement, the accumulated other comprehensive loss amount was adjusted for the after-tax net settlement amount of $7.1 million which was being amortized into interest expense over the term of the hedged item. As part of the 2012 Recapitalization, the remaining amount of this swap settlement that was included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was recorded into interest expense.
Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements	Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements
	The cost of all of the Company’s stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	The Company discloses two calculations of earnings per share (EPS): basic EPS and diluted EPS. The numerator in calculating common stock basic and diluted EPS is consolidated net income. The denominator in calculating common stock basic EPS is the weighted average shares outstanding. The denominator in calculating common stock diluted EPS includes the additional dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock and unvested performance-based restricted stock grants.
Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information	Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information
	The Company paid interest of approximately $81.1 million, $82.9 million and $87.3 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $76.5 million, $62.8 million and $46.1 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2014, the Company had $1.7 million of non-cash investing activities related to accruals for capital expenditures.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance issued by the FASB, including industry specific guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2017, and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	The accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
