All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Simply Good Foods and its subsidiaries. The Company maintains its accounting records on a 52/53-week fiscal year, ending on the last Saturday in August of each year. The interim consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the Company’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the indicated periods. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The results reported in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire fiscal year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on October 24, 2023.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report for a description of significant accounting policies. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the period of time for which ASU 2020-04 could be applied. As a result, the amendments in ASU 2020-04 can be applied to contract modifications due to rate reform and eligible existing and new hedging relationships entered into between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2024. The amendments of these ASUs are effective for all entities and are applied on a prospective basis. On January 21, 2022, the Company entered into a repricing amendment (the “2022 Repricing Amendment”) to its credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”), as described in Note 5, Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit. In addition to replacing the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the Credit Agreement’s reference rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the 2022 Repricing Amendment contemporaneously modified other terms that changed, or had the potential to change, the amount or timing of contractual cash flows as contemplated by the guidance in ASU 2020-04. As such, the contract modifications related to the 2022 Repricing Amendment were outside of the scope of the optional guidance in ASU 2020-04. The Company will continue to monitor the effects of rate reform, if any, on any new or amended contracts through December 31, 2024. The Company does not anticipate the amendments in this ASU will be material to its consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the effect on its future consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which updates disclosures required in the footnotes to the financial statements to further aid investors in understanding how to analyze income tax reporting. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the effect on its future consolidated financial statements. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Term Facility together with the incremental borrowing make up the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Incremental Facility Amendment). The Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the acquisition of Quest Nutrition, LLC on November 7, 2019. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the Incremental Facility Amendment. Effective as of December 16, 2021, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Extension Amendment provided for an extension of the stated maturity date of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) from July 7, 2022, to the earlier of (i) 91 days prior to the then-effective maturity date of the Initial Term Loans and (ii) December 16, 2026. On January 21, 2022, the Company entered into the “2022 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2022 Repricing Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, (ii) reset the prepayment premium for the existing Initial Term Loans to apply to Repricing Transactions (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that occur within six months after the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, and (iii) implemented SOFR and related replacement provisions for LIBOR.

No additional debt was incurred, or any proceeds received by the Company in connection with the 2023 Repricing Amendment. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the 2023 Repricing Amendment. Effective as of the 2023 Repricing Amendment, the interest rate per annum for the Initial Term Loans is based on either: i. A base rate equaling the higher of (a) the “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% plus (x) 1.50% margin for the Term Loan or (y) 2.00% margin for the Revolving Credit Facility; or ii.

As security for the payment or performance of the debt under the Credit Agreement, the borrowers and the guarantors have pledged certain equity interests in their respective subsidiaries and granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their domestic assets. All guarantors other than Quest Nutrition, LLC are holding companies with no assets other than their investments in their respective subsidiaries.

Long-term debt consists of the following: (In thousands) February 24, 2024 August 26, 2023 Term Facility (effective rate of 7.9% at February 24, 2024) $ 240,000 $ 285,000 Finance lease liabilities (effective rate of 5.6% at February 24, 2024) 24 143 Less: Deferred financing fees 2,359 3,351 Total debt 237,665 281,792 Less: Current finance lease liabilities 24 143 Long-term debt, net of deferred financing fees $ 237,641 $ 281,649 The Company is not required to make principal payments on the Term Facility over the twelve months following the period ended February 24, 2024. The outstanding balance of the Term Facility is due upon its maturity in March 2027. As of February 24, 2024, the Company had letters of credit in the amount of $3.2 million outstanding. These letters of credit offset against the $75.0 million availability of the Revolving Credit Facility and exist to support three of the Company’s leased buildings and insurance programs relating to workers’ compensation. No amounts were drawn against these letters of credit as of February 24, 2024. The Company utilizes market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company carries debt at historical cost and discloses fair value. As of February 24, 2024, and August 26, 2023, the book value of the Company’s debt approximated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is valued based on observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is used: Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. Components of the balance sheet such as accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents and others approximated fair value as of February 24, 2024.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive securities, including the Company’s employee stock options and non-vested stock units. In periods in which the Company has a net loss, diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding as the effect of including common stock equivalents outstanding would be anti-dilutive. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted earnings per share: Thirteen Weeks Ended Twenty-Six Weeks Ended (In thousands, except per share data) February 24, 2024 February 25, 2023 February 24, 2024 February 25, 2023 Basic earnings per share computation: Numerator: Net income available to common stockholders $ 33,123 $ 25,642 $ 68,684 $ 61,502 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 99,905,643 99,495,657 99,767,769 99,346,439 Basic earnings per share from net income $ 0.33 $ 0.26 $ 0.69 $ 0.62 Diluted earnings per share computation: Numerator: Net income available for common stockholders $ 33,123 $ 25,642 $ 68,684 $ 61,502 Numerator for diluted earnings per share $ 33,123 $ 25,642 $ 68,684 $ 61,502 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 99,905,643 99,495,657 99,767,769 99,346,439 Employee stock options 1,185,131 1,227,507 1,189,346 1,270,406 Non-vested stock units 185,801 117,723 255,293 185,324 Weighted average common shares - diluted 101,276,575 100,840,887 101,212,408 100,802,169 Diluted earnings per share from net income $ 0.33 $ 0.25 $ 0.68 $ 0.61 Diluted earnings per share calculations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended February 24, 2024 excluded 0.6 million and 0.8 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, respectively, that would have been anti-dilutive.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simply Good Foods and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Simply Good Foods and its subsidiaries. The Company maintains its accounting records on a 52/53-week fiscal year, ending on the last Saturday in August of each year. The interim consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company and its subsidiaries are unaudited. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the Company’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the indicated periods. All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements and, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The results reported in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire fiscal year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 26, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) filed with the SEC on October 24, 2023.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies , to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report for a description of significant accounting policies. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the period of time for which ASU 2020-04 could be applied. As a result, the amendments in ASU 2020-04 can be applied to contract modifications due to rate reform and eligible existing and new hedging relationships entered into between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2024. The amendments of these ASUs are effective for all entities and are applied on a prospective basis. On January 21, 2022, the Company entered into a repricing amendment (the “2022 Repricing Amendment”) to its credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”), as described in Note 5, Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit. In addition to replacing the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the Credit Agreement’s reference rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the 2022 Repricing Amendment contemporaneously modified other terms that changed, or had the potential to change, the amount or timing of contractual cash flows as contemplated by the guidance in ASU 2020-04. As such, the contract modifications related to the 2022 Repricing Amendment were outside of the scope of the optional guidance in ASU 2020-04. The Company will continue to monitor the effects of rate reform, if any, on any new or amended contracts through December 31, 2024. The Company does not anticipate the amendments in this ASU will be material to its consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the effect on its future consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which updates disclosures required in the footnotes to the financial statements to further aid investors in understanding how to analyze income tax reporting. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the effect on its future consolidated financial statements. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
