Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 1	In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net earnings.
	The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Sales of our frozen beverages and frozen juice bars and ices are generally higher in our third and fourth quarters due to warmer weather.
	While we believe that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.

Revenue [Abstract]	'
Revenue [Text Block]	'
	Note 2	We recognize revenue from our products when the products are shipped to our customers. Repair and maintenance equipment service revenue is recorded when it is performed provided the customer terms are that the customer is to be charged on a time and material basis or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract when the customer has signed a service contract. Revenue is recognized only where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or estimable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record offsets to revenue for allowances, end-user pricing adjustments, trade spending, coupon redemption costs and returned product. Customers generally do not have the right to return product unless it is damaged or defective. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables after taking into consideration historical experience and other factors. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $370,000 and $854,000 at June 28, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively.

Amortization of improvements is provided for by the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the assets’ estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Licenses and rights, customer relationships and non-compete agreements arising from acquisitions are amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. Depreciation expense was $8,008,000 and $7,434,000 for the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was $23,599,000 and $21,298,000 respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	'
	Note 4	Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into consideration the potential dilution that could occur if securities (stock options) or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Our calculation of EPS is as follows:

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	'
	Note 5	At June 28, 2014, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans. Share-based compensation was recognized as follows:
			Three months ended				Nine months ended
			June 28,		June 29,		June 28,		June 29,
			2014		2013		2014		2013

	The above compensation is net of tax benefits		$	75	$	142	$	239	$	498
	The Company anticipates that share-based compensation will not exceed $1.8 million net of tax benefits, or approximately $.10 per share for the fiscal year ending September 27, 2014.
	The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2014 first nine months: expected volatility of 20.6%; risk-free interest rate of 1.4%; dividend rate of .8% and expected lives of 5 years.
	During the 2014 nine month period, the Company granted 101,572 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $15.24. During the 2013 nine month period, the Company granted 1,600 stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value of these options was $13.76.
	Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of our common shares over the past 55 months for 5 year options and 10 years for 10 year options. We use historical information to estimate expected life and forfeitures within the valuation model. The expected term of awards represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line method over the vesting or service period and is net of estimated forfeitures.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 6	We account for our income taxes under the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse.  Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
	Additionally, we recognize a liability for income taxes and associated penalties and interest for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which are more likely than not to be overturned by taxing authorities (“uncertain tax positions”).  We have not recognized a tax benefit in our financial statements for these uncertain tax positions.
	The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits is $411,000 and $438,000 on June 28, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, all of which would impact our effective tax rate over time, if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a part of the provision for income taxes. As of June 28, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, the Company has $221,000 and $224,000 of accrued interest and penalties.
	In addition to our federal tax return and tax returns for Mexico and Canada, we file tax returns in all states that have a corporate income tax with virtually all open for examination for three to four years.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	'
	Note 7	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance which requires us to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, we are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, we are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance was effective for our fiscal year 2014 first quarter and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 9	We principally sell our products to the food service and retail supermarket industries. Sales and results of our frozen beverages business are monitored separately from the balance of our food service business because of different distribution and capital requirements. We maintain separate and discrete financial information for the three operating segments mentioned above which is available to our Chief Operating Decision Makers.
	We have applied no aggregation criteria to any of these operating segments in order to determine reportable segments. Our three reportable segments are Food Service, Retail Supermarkets and Frozen Beverages. All inter-segment net sales and expenses have been eliminated in computing net sales and operating income (loss). These segments are described below.
	Food Service
	The primary products sold by the food service group are soft pretzels, frozen juice treats and desserts, churros, dough enrobed handheld products and baked goods. Our customers in the food service industry include snack bars and food stands in chain, department and discount stores; malls and shopping centers; fast food outlets; stadiums and sports arenas; leisure and theme parks; convenience stores; movie theatres; warehouse club stores; schools, colleges and other institutions. Within the food service industry, our products are purchased by the consumer primarily for consumption at the point-of-sale.
	Retail Supermarkets
	The primary products sold by the retail supermarket segment are soft pretzel products – including SUPERPRETZEL; frozen juice treats and desserts including LUIGI’S Real Italian Ice, MINUTE MAID Juice Bars and Soft Frozen Lemonade, WHOLE FRUIT frozen fruit bars, WHOLE FRUIT Sorbet, ICEE Squeeze-Up Tubes, PHILLY SWIRL stix and cups; dough enrobed handheld products and TIO PEPE’S Churros. Within the retail supermarket channel, our frozen and prepackaged products are purchased by the consumer for consumption at home.
	Frozen Beverages
	We sell frozen beverages and related products to the food service industry primarily under the names ICEE, ARCTIC BLAST, SLUSH PUPPIE and PARROT ICE in the United States, Mexico and Canada. We also provide repair and maintenance service to customers for customers’ owned equipment.
	The Chief Operating Decision Maker for Food Service and Retail Supermarkets and the Chief Operating Decision Maker for Frozen Beverages monthly review detailed operating income statements and sales reports in order to assess performance and allocate resources to each individual segment. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Makers review and evaluate depreciation, capital spending and assets of each segment on a quarterly basis to monitor cash flow and asset needs of each segment. Information regarding the operations in these three reportable segments is as follows:
			Three months ended						Nine months ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	Note 11	We have classified our investment securities as marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale. The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the FASB has established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1	Observable input such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	Level 2	Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
	Level 3	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	Marketable securities held to maturity and available for sale fair values are derived solely from level 1 inputs.
	The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at June 28, 2014 are summarized as follows:
			Amortized		Gross		Gross		Fair
			Cost		Unrealized		Unrealized		Market
					Gains		Losses		Value
			(in thousands)
	US Government Agency Debt		$	2,000		-	$	1	$	1,999

			$	129,473	$	1,123	$	956	$	129,640
	The mutual funds seek current income with an emphasis on maintaining low volatility and overall moderate duration. The funds do not have contractual maturities; however, we classify them as long term assets as it is our intent to hold them for a period of over one year, although we may sell some or all of them depending on presently unanticipated needs for liquidity or market conditions. The unrealized losses of $956,000 are spread over 20 funds with a total fair market value of $79.8 million.
	The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair market values of our investment securities held to maturity at September 28, 2013 are summarized as follows:

Losses of $65,000 and $361,000 were recorded in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, and none were recorded last year. We use the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold.

Business Combinations [Abstract]	'
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Note 12	In June 2012, we acquired the assets of Kim & Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels, Inc., a manufacturer and seller of a premium brand soft pretzel. This business had sales of approximately $8 million over the prior twelve months to food service and retail supermarket customers and had sales of approximately $1.8 million in our 2012 fiscal year from the acquisition date.
	In October 2013, we acquired the assets of New York Pretzel, a manufacturer and distributor of soft pretzels selling primarily in the northeast to foodservice and retail locations.  Of the purchase price of $11.8 million, $849,000 was allocated to intangible assets, $7,716,000 was allocated to goodwill and $3,049,000 was allocated to property, plant and equipment.
	In May 2014, we acquired the stock of Philly’s Famous Water Ice, Inc. (PHILLY SWIRL). PHILLY SWIRL, located in Tampa, FL, produces frozen novelty products sold primarily to retail supermarket locations throughout the United States and to Canada with annual sales approximating $25 million.  The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of $17.4 million is $4.0 million to working capital, $1.2 million to property, plant and equipment, $11.1 million to intangible assets, $1.6 million to goodwill, and $95,000 to other assets and $666,000 to deferred tax liabilities. Sales of PHILLY SWIRL from the acquisition date to June 28, 2014 were $6.3 million and are included in the retail supermarket segment.
	The goodwill and intangible assets acquired in the business combinations are recorded at fair value.  To measure fair value for such assets, we use techniques including discounted expected future cash flows (Level 3 input).
	Acquisition expense of $184,000 and $257,000 was recorded in other expense in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014, respectively.
