Description_of_Company

Description of Company	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 28, 2013
Description of Company	'
	1	Description of Company:
	American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (also referred to herein as “Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a Delaware corporation. Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATDI. The operations of ATDI and its subsidiaries constitute the operations of Holdings presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Company” herein refers to Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries.
	The Company is primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels and accessories, and related tire supplies and tools, representing 97.4%, 2.0% and 0.6%, respectively, of our net sales. Operating as one operating and reportable segment through a network of 133 distribution centers, including three redistribution centers in the United States, the Company offers access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing approximately 40,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) to approximately 72,000 customers (approximately 64,000 in the U.S. and 8,000 in Canada). The Company’s customer base is comprised primarily of independent tire dealers with the remainder of other customers representing various national and corporate accounts. The Company serves a majority of the contiguous United States as well as Canada.
	The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years will not be exactly comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years. The fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 each contain operating results for 52 weeks. It should be noted that, prior to fiscal 2013, the Company and its TriCan Tire Distributors (“TriCan”) subsidiary had different year-end reporting dates. For fiscal 2012, TriCan had a calendar year-end reporting date of December 31. The impact from this difference on the consolidated financial statements was not material. TriCan converted to the Company’s fiscal year reporting date during fiscal 2013.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	2	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
	A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
	Basis of Preparation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated results for the periods presented. Certain changes in classification of amounts reported in prior years have been made to conform to the 2013 classification.
	On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG” or the “Sponsor”) and certain co-investors (the “Merger”). Under the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J, “New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances,” push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity becoming substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the buyer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of the Company’s common stock has been pushed down from the buyer to the Company.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its 100% owned subsidiaries. Partially-owned investments are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) in the period that they are determined.
	Foreign currency translation
	All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts are translated at year end exchange rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholder’s equity. Transactional foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all deposits with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in its consolidated financial statements. Outstanding checks are presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows because they are funded by drawing on the revolving credit facility as they are presented for payment.
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon both the creditworthiness of specific customers and the overall probability of losses based upon an analysis of the overall aging of receivables as well as past collection trends and general economic conditions.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or fair market value and consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, and related tire supply and tool products. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at annual rates sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets less estimated salvage values over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic useful life or the related lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property and equipment is as follows:
	Buildings		25 to 31 years
	Leasehold improvements		2 to 10 years
	Machinery and equipment		2 to 10 years
	Furniture and fixtures		3 to 8 years
	Internal use software		1 to 5 years
	Vehicles and other		3 to 6 years
	Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).
	The Company capitalizes costs, including interest, incurred to develop or acquire internal-use software. These costs are capitalized subsequent to the preliminary project stage once specific criteria are met. Costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage are expensed. Other costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
	The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.
	Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.
	Recoverability of other indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.
	Intangible assets such as customer-related intangible assets and noncompete agreements with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:
	Customer list		16 to 19 years
	Tradenames		1 to 7 years
	Noncompete agreements		1 to 5 years
	Favorable leases		4 to 6 years
	The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs are expenditures associated with obtaining financings that are capitalized in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the term of the loans to which such costs relate. Amounts capitalized are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). At December 28, 2013, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $16.3 million, which includes $1.1 million incurred to increase the borrowing capacity of the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility and FILO Facility during fiscal 2013 (See Note 9 for additional information). At December 29, 2012, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $19.7 million. Amortization for fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 was $4.5 million, $7.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Amortization for fiscal 2012 included $2.8 million related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with a lender that is not participating in the new syndication group.
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	For derivative instruments, the Company applies FASB authoritative guidance which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. This statement requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment.
	Self Insurance
	The Company is self-insured with respect to employee health liability claims and maintains a large deductible program on both workers’ compensation and auto insurance. The Company has stop-loss insurance coverage for individual claims in excess of $0.3 million for employee health insurance and deductibles of $0.3 million on the workers’ compensation and auto on a per claim basis. Aggregate stop-loss limits for workers’ compensation and auto are $9.0 million. There is no aggregate stop-loss limit on employee health insurance. A reserve for liabilities associated with losses is established for claims filed and claims incurred but not yet reported using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry as well as the Company’s historical claims experience.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery under free on board (“FOB”) destination terms. The Company permits customers from time to time to return certain products, but there is no contractual right of return. The Company continuously monitors and tracks such returns and records an estimate of such future returns, which is based on historical experience and recent trends.
	In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit, on open accounts, to its customers after performing a credit analysis based on a number of financial and other criteria. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not normally require collateral; however, letters of credit and other security are occasionally required for certain new and existing customers.
	Customer Rebates
	The Company offers rebates to its customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The majority of these programs provide for the customer to receive rebates, generally in the form of a reduction in the related accounts receivable balance, when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from the Company. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of the related price of the product, which reduces the amount of revenue recorded. Throughout the year, the amount of rebates is estimated based on the expected level of purchases to be made by customers that participate in the rebate programs. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates earned by customers based on actual purchases made.
	Manufacturer Rebates
	The Company receives rebates from its vendors under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for cash consideration received from a vendor. Many of the vendor programs provide for the Company to receive rebates when any of a number of measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of purchases. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction to the price of the product, which reduces the carrying value of our inventory, and our cost of goods sold when product is sold. Throughout the year, the amount recognized for annual rebates is based on purchases management considers probable for the full year. These estimates are continually revised to reflect rebates earned based on actual purchase levels.
	Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs
	The Company participates in cooperative advertising and marketing programs (“co-op”) with its vendors. Co-op funds are provided to the Company generally based on the volume of purchases made with vendors that offer such programs. A portion of the funds received must be used for specific advertising and marketing expenditures incurred by the Company or its customers. The co-op funds received by the Company from its vendors are accounted for in accordance with the accounting standards related to accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor, which requires that the Company record the funds received as a reduction of cost of sales or as an offset to specific costs incurred in selling the vendor’s products. The co-op funds that are provided to the Company’s customers are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer, which requires that the Company record the funds paid as a reduction of revenue since no separate identifiable benefit is received by the Company.
	Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
	In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company determined that shipping fees shall be reported on a gross basis. As a result, all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping fees represent revenues earned for the goods provided and therefore recorded within net sales in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Handling costs include expenses incurred to store, move, and prepare products for shipment. The Company classifies these costs as selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss), and includes a portion of internal costs such as salaries and overhead related to these activities. For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $213.8 million, $171.1 million and $140.8 million, respectively, related to these expenses.
	Income Taxes
	The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision is computed using the asset and liability method of accounting, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In addition, the Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax items are expected to be realized or settled. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering historic profitability, projected future taxable income, and timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences as well as the feasibility of our tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, a valuation allowance is recorded if available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes to valuation allowances are recognized in earnings in the period such determination is made.
	The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based upon the technical merits, it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The tax impacts recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest impact that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” which amended the guidance on the annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The amended guidance will allow a company the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if a company concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. This new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 (the first day of its 2013 fiscal year); however, the Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which amended the guidance for reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is entirely reclassified to net income, as required by U.S. GAAP. For other amounts, that are not required by U.S. GAAP to be entirely reclassified to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that will provide additional detail concerning these amounts. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 and its adoption did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exits.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

	On December 13, 2013, TriCan entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Wholesale Tire Distributors Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“WTD”), Allan Bishop, an individual resident in the Province of Ontario (“Allan”) and The Bishop Company Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“BishopCo”) (Allan and BishopCo each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares of WTD. WTD owned and operated two distribution centers serving over 2,300 customers. The acquisition of WTD strengthened the Company’s market presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on December 13, 2013 and was funded through cash on hand. The Company does not believe the acquisition of WTD is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisition discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 — Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.
	The acquisition of WTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $4.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $1.1 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of WTD reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price more accurately.
	On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TDI. TDI owned and operated one distribution center serving over 1,700 customers across Maryland and northeastern Virginia. The acquisition was completed on August 30, 2013 and was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of TDI is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisition discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 — Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.
	The acquisition of TDI was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $3.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $2.4 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of TDI reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.
	On March 22, 2013, TriCan and ATDI entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Regional Tire Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Holdco”), Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (“RTD”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario and a 100% owned subsidiary of Holdco, and the shareholders of Holdco, pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the shareholders of Holdco all of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdco for a purchase price of $62.5 million. Holdco has no significant assets or operations, other than its ownership of RTD. The operations of RTD constitute the operations of Holdco. RTD is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in the Ontario and Atlantic provinces of Canada. The acquisition of RTD significantly expanded the Company’s presence in the Ontario and Atlantic Provinces of Canada and complements the Company’s current operations in Canada.
	The acquisition of RTD was completed on April 30, 2013 for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $64.9 million (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) which includes initial working capital adjustments. The acquisition of RTD was funded by borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility and FILO Facility, as more fully described in Note 9. The Adjusted Purchase Price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, the finalization of working capital adjustments. Of the $64.9 million Adjusted Purchase Price, $6.3 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and escrow agreement. During third quarter 2013, the Company and the shareholders of Holdco agreed on the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment increased the Adjusted Purchase Price by $1.0 million to $65.9 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill of $1.0 million.
	The acquisition of RTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the Adjusted Purchase Price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.

	The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $20.4 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of RTD primarily relates to growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Eastern Canada and through operating synergies available via the consolidation of certain distribution centers in Eastern Canada.
	Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.
	The Company recorded intangible assets based on their estimated fair value which consisted of the following:

The acquisition of TriCan expanded the Company’s footprint and distribution services into Canada for the first time. During second quarter 2013, the Company and the Seller agreed on the post-closing working capital adjustment in accordance with the purchase agreement.

	At December 28, 2013, the Company had $713.3 million of intangible assets. The balance primarily relates to the Merger on May 28, 2010, in which $781.3 million was recorded as intangible assets. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation of WTD, the Company allocated $4.4 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years. As part of the purchase price allocation of TDI, the Company allocated $3.4 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years. As part of the purchase price allocation of RTD, the Company allocated $40.7 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years, $1.9 million to a finite-lived tradename with a useful life of five years and $0.4 million to a finite-lived favorable leases intangible asset with a useful life of four years. As part of the purchase price allocation of TriCan, the Company allocated $44.6 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years, $4.9 million to a finite-lived tradename with a useful life of seven years and $0.4 million to a finite-lived favorable leases intangible asset with a useful life of six years. In connection with the acquisition of CTO on May 24, 2012, the Company allocated $15.9 million to a finite-lived customer list intangible asset with a useful life of sixteen years. During 2011, the Company allocated $43.4 million to finite-lived intangible assets, including $38.2 million associated with a customer list as well as $5.2 million associated with a noncompete agreement, in connection with the acquisition of NCT. These intangible assets had a useful life of nineteen years and five years, respectively. See Note 3 for additional information.
	Amortization of intangible assets was $76.2 million in fiscal 2013, $66.2 million in fiscal 2012 and $61.8 million in fiscal 2011. Estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets is expected to approximate $73.2 million in 2014, $62.7 million in 2015, $52.9 million in 2016, $46.2 million in 2017 and $39.6 million in 2018.

	ABL Facility
	See Note 18 regarding recent amendment to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
	Our Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, our “Credit Agreement”) provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to U.S. borrowing base availability (the “U.S. ABL Facility”) and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $100.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to Canadian borrowing base availability (the “Canadian ABL Facility” and, collectively with the U.S. ABL Facility, the “ABL Facility”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $60.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to ATDI, its 100% owned subsidiary Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc. and any other U.S. subsidiary that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility provides for revolving loans available to TriCan, RTD and WTD and any other Canadian subsidiaries that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Company has the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $200.0 million (up to $50.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks with respect to the lenders providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017, provided that if on March 1, 2017, either (i) more than $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding or (ii) any principal amount of ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes remains outstanding with a scheduled maturity date which is earlier than 91 days after November 16, 2017 and excess availability under the ABL Facility is less than 12.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments, then the maturity date will be March 1, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is October 30, 2014. See Note 18 for additional information regarding the amendment to the FILO Facility and the new maturity date.
	At December 28, 2013, the Company had $417.1 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, the Company had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $8.1 million, leaving $236.1 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at December 28, 2013 was $36.4 million, leaving $41.2 million available for additional borrowings. As of December 28, 2013, the outstanding balance of the FILO Facility was $51.9 million and was classified as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as the FILO Facility was refinanced on a long-term basis on January 31, 2014. See Note 18 for additional information.
	Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 2.0% as of December 28, 2013 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus  1⁄2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 1.0% as of December 28, 2013. The applicable margins under the U.S. ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.
	Borrowings under the Canadian ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) a Canadian base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A. (acting through its Canada branch) as its “base rate”, (2) the federal funds rate effective plus  1⁄2 of 1% per annum and (3) the one month-LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 1.0% as of December 28, 2013 or (b) a Canadian prime rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime rate as published by Bank of America, N.A. (acting through its Canada branch) as its “prime rate”, (2) the sum of  1⁄2 of 1% plus the Canadian overnight rate and (3) the sum of 1% plus the rate of interest per annum equal to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances as published by Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service for a 30 day interest period, plus an applicable margin of 1.0% as of December 28, 2013. The applicable margins under the Canadian ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.
	Borrowings under the FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) an Adjusted LIBOR rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin of 3.5% as of December 28, 2013 or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate” for commercial loans, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus  1⁄2 of 1% and (3) the one month-Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 2.5% as of December 28, 2013. The applicable margins under the FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.
	The U.S. and Canadian borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:
		•		85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus
		•		The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or fair market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable, and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus
		•		The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable, and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, applicable.
	The FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:
		•		5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. loan parties, as applicable; plus
		•		7.5% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. loan parties, as applicable.
	All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI. The Canadian ABL Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan, RTD, WTD and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.
	The ABL Facility and the FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 28, 2013, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.
	Senior Secured Notes
	On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) due June 1, 2017 in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $250.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $240.7 million after debt issuance costs (which represents a non-cash financing activity of $9.3 million). The Senior Secured Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 10% to an aggregate accreted value of $250.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.75% per annum. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 107.313% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 104.875% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015, 102.438% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.
	The Senior Secured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI, subject to certain exceptions. The Senior Secured Notes are also collateralized by a second-priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets (other than inventory), in each case of Holdings, ATDI and the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
	The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
	Senior Subordinated Notes
	See Note 18 regarding a recent amendment to the Senior Subordinated Indenture and the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes.
	On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued Senior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2018 (“Senior Subordinated Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 11.50% per annum. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010. The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.
	The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp and TDI, subject to certain exceptions.
	The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
	Capital Lease Obligations
	At December 31, 2011, the Company had a capital lease obligation of $14.1 million, which related to the 2002 sale and subsequent leaseback of three of its owned facilities. Due to continuing involvement with the properties, the Company accounted for the transaction as a direct financing lease and recorded the cash received as a financing obligation. The transaction had an initial lease term of 20 years, followed by two 10 year renewal options. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of the initial sales transaction.
	On February 1, 2012, the Company reacquired one of the three facilities included in the 2002 sale-leaseback transaction for $1.5 million. Accordingly, the original lease was amended to extend the lease term on the two remaining facilities by 5 years as well as to adjust the future lease payments over the remaining 15 years. Per current accounting guidance, the change in the debt terms was not considered substantial. As a result, the Company treated the amendment as a debt modification for accounting purposes and therefore, reduced the financing obligation by the purchase price. Cash payments to the lessor are allocated between interest expense and amortization of the financing obligation. At the end of the lease term, the Company will recognize the sale of the remaining facilities; however, no gain or loss will be recognized as the financing obligation will equal the expected carrying value of the facilities. At December 28, 2013, the outstanding balance of the financing obligation was $12.2 million.

Derivative Instruments	'
	10	Derivative Instruments:
	In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the risk associated with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk and reduce the impacts of these exposures and not for trading or other speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, and are recognized in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other derivatives, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized immediately in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).
	On September 4, 2013, the Company entered into a spot interest rate swap and two forward-starting interest rate swaps (collectively the “3Q 2013 Swaps”) each of which are used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The spot interest rate swap in place covers a notional amount of $100.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.145% and expires in September 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 1.464% and will expire in September 2016 and $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2015 at a fixed interest rate of 1.942% and will expire in September 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2013 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
	On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2012 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.00 million, with each $50.0 million contract having a fixed rate of 0.655% and expiring in June 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2012 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
	On September 23, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 0.74% and will expire in September 2014 and $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 1.0% and will expire in September 2015. The counterpart to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
	On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“1Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place covered an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million was at a fixed interest rate of 0.585% and expired in February 2012. The remaining swap covered an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.105% and expired in February 2013. The counterparty to each swap was a major financial institution. Neither swap met the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract were recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	11	Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
	The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:
		•		Level 1 — Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
		•		Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
		•		Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2013:

	ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:
		•		Benefit trust assets — These assets include money market and mutual funds that are the underlying for deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in readily accessible and observable markets.
		•		Derivative instruments — These instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments from a financial institution that is counterparty to the transaction.
	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis at December 28, 2013 are the same as those used at December 29, 2012. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

	The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718 — Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock units.
	Stock Options
	In August 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan, which includes both time-based and performance-based awards, was amended on February 15, 2013 by the board of directors of the Company’s indirect parent, Accelerate Parent Corp., to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan, from 48.6 million to 52.1 million. In addition to the increase in the maximum number of shares, on February 15, 2013 the board of directors of Accelerate Parent Corp. approved the issuance of stock options to certain members of management. The approved options are for the purchase of up to 3.5 million shares of common stock, have an exercise price of $1.20 per share, and vest over a three to five-year vesting period. As of December 28, 2013, the Company has 2.5 million shares available for future incentive awards.
	Changes in options outstanding under the 2010 Plan are as follows:
			Options			Weighted			Options			Weighted
			Outstanding			Average			Exercisable			Average
						Exercise Price						Exercise Price
	January 1, 2011			44,448,000			1			—			—

	December 28, 2013			49,516,503		$	1.02			27,794,844		$	1.01
	Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over three or five years. The weighted-average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at December 28, 2013 was 6.9 years and 6.8 years, respectively. The fair value of each of the Company’s time-based stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that both the performance target will be achieved and the requisite service period is satisfied. At December 28, 2013 unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted under the 2010 Plan totaled $7.6 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 1.3 years.
	The weighted average fair value of the stock options granted during the fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $0.54, $0.50 and $0.44, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used:
			Fiscal Year Ended
			December 28,			December 29,			December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
	Risk-free interest rate			1.38	%		1.48	%		2.41	%
	Dividend yield			—			—			—
	Expected life			6.0 years			6.5 years			6.4 years
	Volatility			45.39	%		42.81	%		40.75	%
	As the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for the Company’s own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of the award, the expected life of the award is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.
	Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
	In October 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 RSU Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant restricted stock units to non-employee directors of the Company. Upon vesting, these awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock unit granted. The 2010 RSU Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent company may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company, of which 0.3 million remain available at December 28, 2013 for future incentive awards.
	The following table summarizes RSU activity under the 2010 RSU Plan:
			Number			Weighted
			of Shares			Average
						Exercise Price
	Outstanding and unvested at January 1, 2011			150,000		$	1
	Granted			100,000			1
	Vested			(75,000	)		1
	Cancelled			—			—
	Outstanding and unvested at December 31, 2011			175,000		$	1
	Granted			219,298			1.14
	Vested			(125,000	)		1
	Cancelled			—			—
	Outstanding and unvested at December 29, 2012			269,298		$	1.11
	Granted			—			—
	Vested			(159,649	)		1.1
	Cancelled			(21,930	)		1.14
	Outstanding and unvested at December 28, 2013			87,719		$	1.14
	The fair value of each of the RSU awards is measured as the grant-date price of the common stock and is expensed on a straight- line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two year vesting period. At December 28, 2013, the Company has recognized all compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs granted under the 2010 RSU Plan as all outstanding and unvested RSUs at December 28, 2013 will vest at the beginning of fiscal 2014.
	Compensation Expense
	Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling general and administrative expenses within the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The amount of compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the granted awards that are expected to vest. Ultimately, the total expense recognized over the vesting period will equal the fair value of the awards as of the grant date that actually vest. The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized:
			Fiscal Year Ended
	In thousands		December 28,			December 29,			December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
	Stock Options		$	2,524		$	4,118		$	3,999
	Restricted Stock Units			110			231			115
	Total		$	2,634		$	4,349		$	4,114
	Deferred Compensation Plan
	The Company has a deferred compensation plan for its top executives and divisional employees covered by the executive bonus plan to encourage each participant to promote the long-term interests of the Company. Each participant is allowed to defer portions of their annual salary as well as bonuses received into the plan. In addition to employee deferrals, the Company makes contributions on behalf of its top executives and certain of the divisional employees in varying amounts. The plan provides that an employee who becomes a participant on or before November 23, 1998, shall be fully vested in all amounts credited to such participant’s account. An employee who becomes a participant after November 23, 1998 shall be at all times fully vested in elective deferrals into such participant’s account and, as to contributions made by the Company, shall vest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) per year as long as such participant is an employee on January 1 of each year. The deferred compensation plan may be altered and amended by the Company’s Board of Directors.
	At December 28, 2013, the Company’s obligation related to its deferred compensation plan was $3.4 million, recorded in the consolidated balance sheet within other non-current liabilities. At December 29, 2012, the Company’s obligation related to its deferred compensation plan was $2.7 million. The Company provides for funding of the obligation through a Rabbi Trust, which holds various investments, including mutual funds and money market funds. Amounts related to the Rabbi Trust were $3.4 million and $2.7 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within other non-current assets. Contributions made by the Company on behalf of its employees were less than $0.1 million during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	401(k) Plans
	The Company maintains a qualified profit sharing and 401(k) plan for eligible employees. All accounts are funded based on employee contributions to the plan, with the limits of such contributions determined by the Board of Directors. Effective January 1, 2002, the benefit formula for all participants was determined to be a match of 50% of participant contributions, up to 6% of their compensation. The plan also provides for contributions in such amounts as the Board of Directors may annually determine for the profit sharing portion of the plan. Employees vest in the 401(k) match and profit sharing contribution over a 5-year period.
The Company match of participant contributions is recorded within selling, general and administrative expense. For the fiscal years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company contributed $2.8 million, $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

	13	Commitments and Contingencies:
	Leases
	The Company leases land, buildings, equipment and vehicles under various noncancellable operating leases, which expire between 2014 and 2027. Future minimum lease commitments, net of sublease income, at December 28, 2013 are as follows:
	In thousands

	2018			51,786
	Thereafter			175,115
	Total		$	524,347
	The Company’s rent expense, net of sublease income, under these operating leases was $92.9 million in fiscal 2013, $75.1 million in fiscal 2012 and $59.1 million in fiscal 2011.
	On March 27, 2002, the Company completed an agreement for the sale and leaseback of three of its owned facilities. On February 1, 2012, the Company reacquired one of the three facilities included in the 2002 sale-leaseback transaction. Accordingly, the original lease was amended to extend the lease term on the two remaining facilities by 5 years as well as to adjust the future lease payments over the remaining 15 years. The Company reports this transaction as a capital lease using direct financing lease accounting. As such, the Company has a capital lease obligation of $12.2 million at December 28, 2013. See Note 9 for more information on this capital lease. Obligations under the Company’s other capital leases are not material.
	The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to Winston Tire Company. As of December 28, 2013, the Company’s total obligations, as guarantor on these leases, are approximately $2.0 million extending over five years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $1.8 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.
	Legal and Tax Proceedings
	The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state, foreign and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes. See Note 14 for further description of the accounting standards for income taxes and the related impacts.

	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes and (b) operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. As of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, amounts related to deferred income taxes have been classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as follows:

	As part of the Merger, the Company generated substantial tax deductions relating to the exercise of stock options and payments made for transaction expenses. At December 28, 2013, the balance of this acquired non-current deferred tax asset is $5.9 million, which represents the anticipated tax benefits that the Company expects to achieve in future years from such deductions. The remaining net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the Merger less existing tax deductible intangibles, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.6%. It is the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. As these earnings are considered permanently reinvested, no provisions for U.S. federal or state income taxes are required under ASC 740-30. Determination of the amount of unrecognized U.S. federal and state deferred tax liabilities on these unremitted earnings is not practicable.
	Management regularly reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and where appropriate, establishes a valuation allowance against them. The Company concluded that certain deferred tax assets related to certain capital losses do not meet the requirement of being more likely than not that they will be realized. As a result, the Company established a valuation allowance against them.
	At December 28, 2013, the Company had $1.6 million of NOLs available for federal tax purposes as well as $14.2 million available for state tax purposes. The NOLs are available to offset taxable income in future years and expire between 2014 and 2029. The Company expects to utilize these NOLs prior to their expiration date.
	At December 28, 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million is included within accrued expenses and $0.3 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $0.2 million as of December 28, 2013. In addition, $0.5 million related to temporary timing differences.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
In thousands		December 28,			December 29,			December 31,
		2013			2012			2011
Beginning balance		$	1,953		$	1,815		$	2,181

Settlements			—			—			—
Reductions for lapse in statute of limitations			(559	)		—			—
Ending balance		$	706		$	1,953		$	1,815
During the next 12 months, management does not believe it is reasonably possible that there will be a significant change in the Company’s uncertain tax benefits.
While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved.
The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2010 — 2012 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years 2010 — 2012 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject (primarily Canada and other state and local jurisdictions).
In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released final Tangible Property Regulations (the “Final Regulations”). The Final Regulations provide guidance on applying Section 263(a) of the Code to amounts paid to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (Code Section 162). These regulations contain certain changes from the temporary and proposed tangible property regulations that were issued on December 27, 2011. The Final Regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. In addition, taxpayers are permitted to early adopt the Final Regulations for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect the Final Regulations to have a material effect on its results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial condition.

	On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Kipling”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition will further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on January 17, 2014 and was funded through the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of Kipling is a material transaction subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 — Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.
	Hercules Acquisition
	On January 24, 2014, ATD Merger Sub II LLC (“Buyer” or “Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings and ATDI, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), the equityholders of Hercules Holdings (each a “Seller” and, collectively, the “Sellers”) and the Sellers’ Representative, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Hercules Holdings (the “Merger”), with Hercules Holdings being the surviving entity and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules”). Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling after-market replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and other in the United States, Canada and internationally.
	The Merger was completed on January 31, 2014 for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $311.5 million (the “Hercules Closing Purchase Price”), plus up to $10.0 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain performance-related and other post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Hercules Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Hercules Closing Purchase Price, the “Hercules Purchase Price”). The Hercules Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.
	The Hercules Closing Purchase Price was funded by a combination of the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, as more fully described below, an equity contribution of $50.0 million from Holdings’ indirect parent and borrowings under Holdings’ credit agreement, as more fully described below. The equity contribution was funded from proceeds of the sale by Accelerate Parent Corp., Holdings’ indirect parent, of 33.3 million shares of common stock to affiliates of TPG Capital L.P. and certain co-investors.
	The Merger will be recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the information is not yet available to perform the preliminary purchase price allocation and prepare the supplemental pro forma disclosures. The disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 — Business Combinations will be made when the information becomes available.
	Terry’s Tire Acquisition
	On February 17, 2014, ATDI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with TTT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”) pursuant to which ATDI agreed to acquire from Seller all of the outstanding capital stock of Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Terry’s Tire”). Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the internet.
	The consummation of the Terry’s Tire acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions (including expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended), is expected to occur by the end of Holdings’ first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2014. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides for the payment of aggregate cash consideration of approximately $345.0 million, subject to certain customary pre-closing adjustments (the “Terry’s Tire Closing Purchase Price”), plus up to $20.0 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Terry’s Tire Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Terry’s Tire Closing Purchase Price, the “Terry’s Tire Purchase Price.”) The Terry’s Tire Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is expected to be funded by a combination of the issuance of additional debt (as described below) and other resources available to ATDI, including the existing credit agreement. In connection with the entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement, ATDI entered into a debt financing commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (together, the “Lenders”) on February 17, 2014, pursuant to which the Lenders have committed to arrange and provide a $300.0 million senior secured term loan facility on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. ATDI’s obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement are not conditioned on receipt of financing.
	Amendment of Senior Subordinated Indenture
	On January 31, 2014, ATDI entered into the Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”) with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) and the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) to the Subordinated Notes Indenture, dated as of May 28, 2010, among ATDI, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Subordinated Indenture”) relating to the $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 of ATDI initially issued on May 28, 2010 (the “Initial Subordinated Notes”). ATDI received consents from a 100% of the holders of the Initial Subordinated Notes and accepted such consents. The amendments included in the Sixth Supplemental Indenture provide for ATDI’s ability to incur additional senior debt under the Subordinated Indenture under certain circumstances.
	Subordinated Notes Offering
	In connection with the consummation of the Hercules Merger, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Subordinated Notes”). The net proceeds to ATDI from the sale of the Additional Subordinated Notes was approximately $221.1 million.
	The Additional Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 31, 2014, among ATDI, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) to the Senior Subordinated Indenture. The Additional Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes, except the Additional Subordinated Notes will accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes will be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Subordinated Indenture. However, the Additional Subordinated Notes will be issued with separate CUSIP numbers from the Initial Subordinated Notes and will not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the Initial Subordinated Notes.
	Interest on the Additional Subordinated Notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018. The Additional Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice at a redemption price of 104.0% of the principal amount if the redemption rate occurs between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs on June 1, 2015 or thereafter.
	Credit Agreement Amendment
	Also in connection with the Hercules Merger, on January 31, 2014, Holdings entered into the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment (1) increases the aggregate principal amount available under the Canadian ABL Facility from $100.0 million to $125.0 million, subject to the Canadian borrowing base, (2) increases the aggregate principal amount available under the U.S. first-in last-out facility (the “U.S. FILO Facility”) from $60.0 million to $80.0 million, subject to the borrowing base specific thereto as modified by the Second Amendment (3) extends the maturity date for the U.S. FILO Facility to 36 months from January 31, 2014, (4) increases the inventory advance rate under the U.S. FILO Facility borrowing base from 7.5% to 10.0% of net orderly liquidation value, and (5) provides the Canadian Borrowers under the agreement with a new first-in last-out facility (the “Canadian FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of (i) 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus (ii) 10.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the Canadian loan parties, as applicable. The maturity date for the Canadian FILO Facility is the date that is 36 months from January 31, 2014. Hercules, and certain of its subsidiaries, was made a party to, and its equity interests were pledged as collateral under, the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement upon closing of the Merger. The Second Amendment also made certain other changes to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment did not change the maturity dates of the U.S. ABL Facility or the Canadian ABL Facility or the material terms under which either facility may be accelerated or the U.S. ABL Facility may be increased. Approximately $40.4 million, net of cash received in the Merger, was drawn under the U.S. ABL Facility to finance a portion of the Hercules Closing Purchase Price. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, $5.6 million was drawn on the Canadian FILO Facility with a corresponding decrease to the Canadian ABL Facility.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 28, 2013
Basis of Preparation	'
	Basis of Preparation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated results for the periods presented. Certain changes in classification of amounts reported in prior years have been made to conform to the 2013 classification.
	On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG” or the “Sponsor”) and certain co-investors (the “Merger”). Under the guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J, “New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances,” push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity becoming substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the buyer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of the Company’s common stock has been pushed down from the buyer to the Company.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and its 100% owned subsidiaries. Partially-owned investments are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) in the period that they are determined.
Foreign currency translation	'
	Foreign currency translation
	All foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts are translated at year end exchange rates and revenue and expense accounts are translated at weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of foreign currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholder’s equity. Transactional foreign currency gains and losses are included in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all deposits with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents in its consolidated financial statements. Outstanding checks are presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows because they are funded by drawing on the revolving credit facility as they are presented for payment.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	'
	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent within the Company’s accounts receivable balance. Estimates are based upon both the creditworthiness of specific customers and the overall probability of losses based upon an analysis of the overall aging of receivables as well as past collection trends and general economic conditions.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or fair market value and consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels, and related tire supply and tool products. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors.
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method at annual rates sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets less estimated salvage values over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their economic useful life or the related lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property and equipment is as follows:
	Buildings	25 to 31 years
	Leasehold improvements	2 to 10 years
	Machinery and equipment	2 to 10 years
	Furniture and fixtures	3 to 8 years
	Internal use software	1 to 5 years
	Vehicles and other	3 to 6 years
	Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).
	The Company capitalizes costs, including interest, incurred to develop or acquire internal-use software. These costs are capitalized subsequent to the preliminary project stage once specific criteria are met. Costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage are expensed. Other costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
	The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	'
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.
	Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized.
	Recoverability of other indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the estimated fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment loss equal to that excess.
	Intangible assets such as customer-related intangible assets and noncompete agreements with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:
	Customer list	16 to 19 years
	Tradenames	1 to 7 years
	Noncompete agreements	1 to 5 years
	Favorable leases	4 to 6 years
	The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Deferred Financing Costs	'
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs are expenditures associated with obtaining financings that are capitalized in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the term of the loans to which such costs relate. Amounts capitalized are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). At December 28, 2013, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $16.3 million, which includes $1.1 million incurred to increase the borrowing capacity of the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility and FILO Facility during fiscal 2013 (See Note 9 for additional information). At December 29, 2012, the unamortized balance of deferred financing costs was $19.7 million. Amortization for fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 was $4.5 million, $7.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Amortization for fiscal 2012 included $2.8 million related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with a lender that is not participating in the new syndication group.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	For derivative instruments, the Company applies FASB authoritative guidance which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. This statement requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment.
Self Insurance	'
	Self Insurance
	The Company is self-insured with respect to employee health liability claims and maintains a large deductible program on both workers’ compensation and auto insurance. The Company has stop-loss insurance coverage for individual claims in excess of $0.3 million for employee health insurance and deductibles of $0.3 million on the workers’ compensation and auto on a per claim basis. Aggregate stop-loss limits for workers’ compensation and auto are $9.0 million. There is no aggregate stop-loss limit on employee health insurance. A reserve for liabilities associated with losses is established for claims filed and claims incurred but not yet reported using actuarial methods followed in the insurance industry as well as the Company’s historical claims experience.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. The Company recognizes revenue when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery under free on board (“FOB”) destination terms. The Company permits customers from time to time to return certain products, but there is no contractual right of return. The Company continuously monitors and tracks such returns and records an estimate of such future returns, which is based on historical experience and recent trends.
	In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit, on open accounts, to its customers after performing a credit analysis based on a number of financial and other criteria. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not normally require collateral; however, letters of credit and other security are occasionally required for certain new and existing customers.
Customer Rebates	'
	Customer Rebates
	The Company offers rebates to its customers under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. The majority of these programs provide for the customer to receive rebates, generally in the form of a reduction in the related accounts receivable balance, when certain measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of product purchased from the Company. These rebates are recorded as a reduction of the related price of the product, which reduces the amount of revenue recorded. Throughout the year, the amount of rebates is estimated based on the expected level of purchases to be made by customers that participate in the rebate programs. These estimates are periodically revised to reflect rebates earned by customers based on actual purchases made.
Manufacturer Rebates	'
	Manufacturer Rebates
	The Company receives rebates from its vendors under a number of different programs. These rebates are recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for cash consideration received from a vendor. Many of the vendor programs provide for the Company to receive rebates when any of a number of measures are achieved, generally related to the volume of purchases. These rebates are accounted for as a reduction to the price of the product, which reduces the carrying value of our inventory, and our cost of goods sold when product is sold. Throughout the year, the amount recognized for annual rebates is based on purchases management considers probable for the full year. These estimates are continually revised to reflect rebates earned based on actual purchase levels.
Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs	'
	Cooperative Advertising and Marketing Programs
	The Company participates in cooperative advertising and marketing programs (“co-op”) with its vendors. Co-op funds are provided to the Company generally based on the volume of purchases made with vendors that offer such programs. A portion of the funds received must be used for specific advertising and marketing expenditures incurred by the Company or its customers. The co-op funds received by the Company from its vendors are accounted for in accordance with the accounting standards related to accounting for cash consideration received from a vendor, which requires that the Company record the funds received as a reduction of cost of sales or as an offset to specific costs incurred in selling the vendor’s products. The co-op funds that are provided to the Company’s customers are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance related to accounting for cash consideration given by a vendor to a customer, which requires that the Company record the funds paid as a reduction of revenue since no separate identifiable benefit is received by the Company.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs	'
	Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
	In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company determined that shipping fees shall be reported on a gross basis. As a result, all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping fees represent revenues earned for the goods provided and therefore recorded within net sales in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). Handling costs include expenses incurred to store, move, and prepare products for shipment. The Company classifies these costs as selling, general and administrative expenses within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss), and includes a portion of internal costs such as salaries and overhead related to these activities. For fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $213.8 million, $171.1 million and $140.8 million, respectively, related to these expenses.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company records a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision is computed using the asset and liability method of accounting, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In addition, the Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax items are expected to be realized or settled. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering historic profitability, projected future taxable income, and timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences as well as the feasibility of our tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, a valuation allowance is recorded if available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes to valuation allowances are recognized in earnings in the period such determination is made.
	The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based upon the technical merits, it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The tax impacts recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest impact that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” which amended the guidance on the annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill. The amended guidance will allow a company the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, based on the qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if a company concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. This new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 (the first day of its 2013 fiscal year); however, the Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which amended the guidance for reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amended guidance requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is entirely reclassified to net income, as required by U.S. GAAP. For other amounts, that are not required by U.S. GAAP to be entirely reclassified to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that will provide additional detail concerning these amounts. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance on December 30, 2012 and its adoption did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exits.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

'The ABL Facility and the FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Companybs ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Companybs fiscal year. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 28, 2013, the Companybs additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.
