Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments | Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share Based Payments The 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”), was approved by the Board in June 2009 and approved by the shareholders in September 2009. The Plan replaced the 2000 Option Plan and the Non-employee Director Stock Plan (together, the “ Prior Plans ”). There are 3,588,682 shares still available for grant at July 31, 2015 . Awards made under the Plan may take the form of stock options, restricted stock or restricted stock units. Each share issued pursuant to a stock option will reduce the shares available for grant by one, and each share issued pursuant to an award of restricted stock or restricted stock units will reduce the shares available for grant by two. We account for stock-based compensation by estimating the fair value of stock options and restricted stock unit awards granted under the Plan using the market price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. We recognize this fair value as an operating expense in our consolidated statements of income ratably over the requisite service period using the straight-line method, as adjusted for certain retirement provisions. All awards have been granted at no cost to the grantee and/or non-employee member of the Board. Additional information regarding the Plan is provided in the Company’s 2009 Proxy Statement. On June 7, 2013 and June 19, 2013 restricted stock units with respect to a total of 77,650 shares were granted to certain officers and key employees. The fair value of these awards was $4,816 .

The fair value of this award was $958 . This award vested on May 1, 2014. On June 6, 2014, restricted stock units with respect to a total of 91,000 shares were granted to certain officers and key employees. The fair value of these awards was $6,584 . These awards will vest on June 6, 2017. On June 6, 2014, restricted stock totaling 30,538 shares were granted to certain officers and key employees. The award was due to the financial performance of the Company based upon the 2014 annual incentive performance goals. The awards vested immediately upon grant and the fair value was $2,209 at the time of the grant. On September 19, 2014, restricted stock totaling 13,955 shares were granted to the non-employee members of the Board. The awards vested immediately upon grant and the fair value was $990 at the time of the grant. On June 5, 2015, restricted stock units with respect to a total of 104,200 shares were granted to certain officers and key employees. The fair value of these awards was $9,135 .

At July 31, 2015 , options for 352,300 shares (which expire between 2016 and 2021) were outstanding for the Plan and Prior Plans.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies As previously reported, the Company was named as a defendant in four lawsuits (“hot fuel” cases) brought in the federal courts in Kansas and Missouri against a variety of fuel retailers, which were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas in Kansas City, Kansas as part of the multidistrict “Motor Fuel Temperature Sales Practices Litigation.” A hearing to consider whether the previously-reported settlement involving the Company was fair, reasonable and adequate was conducted on June 9, 2015, and on August 21, 2015, the Court approved the same. The approved settlement includes, but is not limited to, the commitment on the part of the Company to "sticker" certain information on its gasoline pumps and to make a monetary payment (which is not considered to be material in amount) to the plaintiff class. The settlement will not be considered final until after a hearing on the attorneys' fees for the plaintiffs' counsel is held (which is anticipated to occur in November of this year) and all time for appeals have expired. The Company is named as a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on behalf of all individuals on whom the Company obtained a consumer report for employment purposes during the last 2 years . Plaintiffs allege that the Company has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA") disclosure requirement. The FCRA provides for statutory damages of $ 100 to $1,000 for each willful violation, as well as punitive damages and attorneys' fees. The Court recently denied the Company's Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Dismiss/Substitute a Proper Party, and court-ordered mediation has been scheduled for September 8, 2015. The Company believes it did not violate the FCRA disclosure requirement and intends to defend the matter vigorously. From time to time we may be involved in other legal and administrative proceedings or investigations arising from the conduct of our business operations, including contractual disputes; employment or personnel matters; personal injury and property damage claims; and claims by federal, state, and local regulatory authorities relating to the sale of products pursuant to licenses and permits issued by those authorities. Claims for compensatory or exemplary damages in those actions may be substantial. While the outcome of such litigation, proceedings, investigations, or claims is never certain, it is our opinion, after taking into consideration legal counsel’s assessment and the availability of insurance proceeds and other collateral sources to cover potential losses, that the ultimate disposition of such matters currently pending or threatened, individually or cumulatively, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operation. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Unrecognized Tax Benefits | Unrecognized Tax Benefits The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $8,043 at April 30, 2015 . At July 31, 2015 , gross unrecognized tax benefits were $8,472 . If this unrecognized tax benefit were ultimately recognized, $ 5,544 is the amount that would impact our effective tax rate. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties for such unrecognized tax benefits was $ 271 at July 31, 2015 , and $ 152 at April 30, 2015 . Net interest and penalties included in income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2015 , was a net expense of $ 119 and a net benefit of $ 213 for the prior period. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and ultimately settled. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of resolution for uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These changes could result from the expiration of the statute of limitations, examinations or other unforeseen circumstances. The State of Illinois is examining tax years 2011 and 2012 . Additionally, the IRS is currently examining tax year 2012. The Company has no other ongoing federal or state income tax examinations. The Company does not have any outstanding litigation related to tax matters. At this time, management expects the aggregate amount of unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by approximately $ 2,993 within the next twelve months. The expected decrease is due to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to certain federal and state income tax filing positions. The federal statute of limitation remains open for the tax years 2011 and forward. Tax years 2010 and forward are subject to audit by state tax authorities depending on open statute of limitations waivers and the tax code of each state. |

Segment Reporting Disclosure | Segment Reporting As of July 31, 2015 we operated 1,887 stores in 14 states. Our stores offer a broad selection of merchandise, fuel and other products and services designed to appeal to the convenience needs of our customers. We manage the business on the basis of one operating segment. Our stores sell similar products and services, and use similar processes to sell those products and services directly to the general public. We make specific disclosures concerning the three broad merchandise categories of fuel, grocery and other merchandise, and prepared food and fountain because it allows us to more effectively discuss trends and operational initiatives within our business and industry. Although we can separate gross margins within these categories (and further sub-categories), the operating expenses associated with operating a store that sells these products are not separable by these three categories. |
