Adoption of New Accounting Stan

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Note 2 – Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard requires entities to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the previous “incurred loss” model, which generally results in the earlier recognition of credit losses. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted this standard through the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result of the adoption, the Company has established revised processes and controls to estimate expected losses for trade and other receivables in accordance with the new standard. The Company’s process for estimating losses for trade and other receivables includes an evaluation of both historical collection experience and expectations for current credit risks based on several customer and environmental factors. The adoption of the standard resulted in a transition adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings of $2.2 million (gross of the deferred tax impact of $0.6 million). The transition adjustment relates to incremental trade and notes receivable allowances due to the earlier recognition of expected losses under the new standard of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Current Accounts Long-term (In thousands) and Notes Receivable Notes Receivable Total Balance at December 28, 2019 $ 2,739 $ 233 $ 2,972 Impact of adoption of new credit loss standard (ASU 2016-13) 1,911 259 2,170 Provision for expected credit losses 583 — 583 Write-offs charged against the allowance (202 ) (121 ) (323 ) Balance at October 3, 2020 $ 5,031 $ 371 $ 5,402 The Company has evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in performing its quarterly evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts incremental allowances for doubtful accounts In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that are no longer considered to be cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Contract Assets and Liabilities In the ordinary course of business, the Company may advance funds to certain independent retailers which are earned by the retailers primarily through achieving specified purchase volume requirements, as outlined in their supply agreements with the Company, or in limited instances, for remaining a SpartanNash customer for a specified time period. These advances must be repaid if the purchase volume requirements are not met or if the retailer no longer remains a customer for the specified time period. For volume-based arrangements, the Company estimates the amount of the advanced funds earned by the retailers based on the expected volume of purchases by the retailer and amortizes the advances as a reduction of the transaction price and revenue earned. Realizability of the advances, or collectability in event of default, is not assured and is dependent on the financial condition of the customer, economic and industry factors and the quality of the underlying collateral. No reserves related to the realizability or collectability of customer advances were necessary as of October 3, 2020. These advances are not considered contract assets under ASC 606 as they are not generated through the transfer of goods or services to the retailers. These advances are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other assets, net” on the Company’s balance sheets. When the Company transfers goods or services to a customer, payment is due - subject to normal terms - and is not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. Typical payment terms range from due upon receipt to 30 days, depending on the type of customer and relationship. At contract inception, the Company expects that the period of time between the transfer of goods to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods will be less than one year, which is consistent with the Company’s standard payment terms. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606 to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As such, these amounts are recorded as receivables and not contract assets. The Company had no contract assets for any period presented. The Company does not typically incur incremental costs of obtaining a contract that are contingent upon successful contract execution and would therefore be capitalized.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	N ote 4 – Acquisitions On December 31, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Martin’s Super Markets, Inc. (“Martin’s”) for $86.7 million, net of $7.8 million of cash acquired. Acquired assets consist primarily of property and equipment of $55.0 million, intangible assets of $23.9 million, and working capital. Intangible assets are primarily composed of an indefinite-lived trade name of $20.6 million and pharmacy customer prescription lists of $3.1 million which are amortized over seven years. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date based on preliminary estimates, which were subsequently finalized during the fourth quarter of 2019. No goodwill was recorded related to the acquisition. The Company incurred $0.2 million and $1.2 million of merger/acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition in the current and prior year-to-date periods, respectively. The acquisition was funded with proceeds from the Company’s Credit Agreement. Martin’s operates

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company has three reporting units; however, no goodwill exists within the Retail or Military reporting units. The carrying amount of goodwill recorded within the Food Distribution reporting unit was $181.0 million as of October 3, 2020 and December 28, 2019. The Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter of each year, and more frequently if circumstances indicate a risk of impairment. Testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment requires management to make significant estimates about the Company’s future performance, cash flows, and other assumptions that can be affected by potential changes in economic, industry or market conditions, business operations, competition, or the Company’s stock price and market capitalization. The Company has indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not amortized, consisting primarily of indefinite-lived trade names and licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company made the decision to abandon a tradename within the Food Distribution segment to better integrate with the Company’s overall transportation operations, resulting in a $7.0 million impairment of the associated indefinite-lived tradename asset. Changes in the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets were as follows: (In thousands) Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Balance at December 28, 2019 $ 76,256 Impairment (Note 6) (6,970 ) Balance at October 3, 2020 $ 69,286

Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairment	Note 6 – Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairment The following table provides the activity of reserves for closed properties for the 40-week period ended October 3, 2020. Included in the liability are lease-related ancillary costs from the date of closure to the end of the remaining lease term, as well as related severance. Reserves for closed properties recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are included in “Other accrued expenses” in Current liabilities and “Other long-term liabilities” in Long-term liabilities based on the timing of when the obligations are expected to be paid. Reserves for severance are recorded in “Accrued payroll and benefits”. Reserves for Closed Properties Lease Ancillary (In thousands) Costs Severance Total Balance at December 28, 2019 $ 4,971 $ 17 $ 4,988 Provision for closing charges 325 — 325 Provision for severance — 2,205 2,205 Changes in estimates 89 (193 ) (104 ) Accretion expense 95 — 95 Payments (1,675 ) (1,760 ) (3,435 ) Balance at October 3, 2020 $ 3,805 $ 269 $ 4,074 Restructuring and asset impairment activity included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following: 12 Weeks Ended 40 Weeks Ended October 3, October 5, October 3, October 5, (In thousands) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Asset impairment charges (a) $ 6,767 $ 1,447 $ 16,411 $ 15,512 Charge on customer advance (b) — — — 1,941 Provision for closing charges — 86 325 629 Loss (gain) on sales of assets related to closed facilities (c) — 72 (31 ) (6,831 ) Provision for severance (d) — 198 2,205 347 Other costs associated with site closures (e) 2 330 1,649 1,307 Changes in estimates (f) (226 ) (539 ) (104 ) (750 ) Lease termination adjustments — (298 ) — (1,940 ) $ 6,543 $ 1,296 $ 20,455 $ 10,215 (a) Asset impairment charges in the current year were incurred primarily in the Food Distribution segment and relate to the evaluation of the expected net proceeds from the Fresh Kitchen facility which is currently held-for-sale, the exit of the Fresh Cut business, and the sale of equipment related to both Fresh Cut and Fresh Kitchen, which totaled $9.1 million. Due to the decision to abandon a tradename within the Food Distribution segment to better integrate with the Company’s overall transportation operations, an impairment charge of $7.0 million was recognized. In the prior year, charges primarily relate to the Fresh Production operations within the Food Distribution segment. (b) The charge on the customer advance relates to an advance to an independent retailer customer which was not fully recoverable. (c) Gain on sales of assets in the prior year primarily relates to the sale of a previously closed distribution center in the Food Distribution segment. (d) Severance in the current year was related to the exit of the Fresh Cut business. (e) Other costs primarily relate to the Fresh Cut and store closings in the current year, and a Food Distribution warehouse and store closings in the prior year. (f) Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, due to favorable dispute resolutions with landlords and fluctuations in the amount of certain ancillary costs, as well as reductions in the amount of estimated severance benefits. Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs. In connection primarily with the Company’s exit of the Fresh Cut operations and planned sales of certain Fresh Kitchen equipment assets in the current year, long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets were tested for recoverability. Long-lived assets with a book value of $53.6 million were measured at a fair value of $44.2 million, resulting in impairment charges of $9.4 million in 2020. Long-lived assets with a book value of $5.9 million were measured at a fair value of $4.4 million, resulting in impairment charges of $1.5 million in 2019. Fair value of long-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, including the expected proceeds from the sale of assets, discounted using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on historical results of operations, external factors expected to impact future performance, experience and knowledge of the geographic area in which the assets are located, and when necessary, uses real estate brokers. In the second quarter of 2019 the Company announced a plan to reposition the Caito Fresh Production operations and to close the Fresh Kitchen. As a result of this plan, the Company evaluated the Caito indefinite-lived trade names and long-lived assets for potential impairment. The indefinite-lived trade names with a book value of $35.5 million were measured at a fair value of $21.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $14.0 million related to the Caito tradename. During this test, the Company concluded the long-lived assets were not impaired. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company made the decision to abandon a tradename within the Food Distribution segment to better integrate with the Company’s overall transportation operations, which resulted in a charge of $7.0 million. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually, and as needed if an indicator of potential impairment exists. Indefinite lived intangible assets are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements. Fair value of indefinite-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, discounted using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on historical results of operations, external factors expected to impact future performance and, in the case of indefinite-lived trade name assets, estimated royalty rates. The Company has evaluated assets held for sale as of October 3, 2020 and concluded that the Fresh Kitchen facility meets the requirements for held for sale classification. Assets classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet are valued at the expected net proceeds and are evaluated each quarter.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. See Note 6 for discussion of the fair value measurements related to long- or indefinite-lived asset impairment charges. At October 3, 2020 and December 28, 2019 the book value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs, were as follows: October 3, December 28, (In thousands) 2020 2019 Book value of debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs: Current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease liabilities $ 5,338 $ 6,349 Long-term debt and finance lease liabilities 545,292 687,659 Total book value of debt instruments 550,630 694,008 Fair value of debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs 556,307 700,631 Excess of fair value over book value $ 5,677 $ 6,623 The estimated fair value of debt is based on market quotes for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs and valuation techniques).

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies The Company is engaged from time-to-time in routine legal proceedings incidental to its business. The Company does not believe that these routine legal proceedings, taken as a whole, will have a material impact on its business or financial condition. While the ultimate effect of such actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that their outcome will not result in an adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operating results or liquidity. The Company contributes to the Central States Southeast and Southwest Pension Fund (“Central States Plan” or “the Plan”), a multi-employer pension plan, based on obligations arising from its collective bargaining agreements (“CBAs”) in Bellefontaine, Ohio, Lima, Ohio, and Grand Rapids, Michigan covering its supply chain associates at those locations. This Plan provides retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. The benefits are paid from assets held in trust for that purpose. Trustees are appointed by contributing employers and unions; however, SpartanNash is not a trustee. The trustees typically are responsible for determining the level of benefits to be provided to participants, as well as for such matters as the investment of the assets and the administration of the plan. The Company currently contributes to the Central States Plan under the terms outlined in the “Primary Schedule” of Central States’ Rehabilitation Plan or those outlined in the “Default Schedule.” Both the Primary and Default schedules require varying increases in employer contributions over the previous year’s contribution. Increases are set within the CBAs and vary by location. The Plan continues to be in red zone status, and according to the Pension Protection Act (“PPA”), is considered to be in “critical and declining” zone status. Among other factors, plans in the “critical and declining” zone are generally less than 65% funded and are projected to become insolvent within the next 15 years (or 20 years depending on the ratio of active-to-inactive participants). Based on the most recent information available to the Company, management believes that the present value of actuarial accrued liabilities in this multi-employer plan significantly exceeds the value of the assets held in trust to pay benefits. Because SpartanNash is one of a number of employers contributing to this plan, it is difficult to ascertain what the exact amount of the underfunding would be. Management is not aware of any significant change in funding levels since December 28, 2019. To reduce this underfunding, management expects increases in expense as a result of required incremental multi-employer pension plan contributions in future years. Any adjustment for withdrawal liability will be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably determined.

On May 20, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved a new stock incentive plan (“the 2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance share units, dividend equivalent rights, and other stock-based and stock-related awards to directors, employees, or contractors of the Company, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The 2020 Plan provides for 1,635,000 newly reserved shares plus the 736,578 shares previously available for grant under the 2015 Plan.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Note 12 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share Outstanding nonvested restricted stock awards under the 2015 Plan contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, which participate in undistributed earnings with common stock. These awards are classified as participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Awards under the 2020 Plan do not contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are therefore not classified as participating securities. The dilutive impact of these awards is presented below, as applicable.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU changed the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard requires entities to use a forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the previous “incurred loss” model, which generally results in the earlier recognition of credit losses. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted this standard through the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the fiscal year. As a result of the adoption, the Company has established revised processes and controls to estimate expected losses for trade and other receivables in accordance with the new standard. The Company’s process for estimating losses for trade and other receivables includes an evaluation of both historical collection experience and expectations for current credit risks based on several customer and environmental factors. The adoption of the standard resulted in a transition adjustment to beginning of the year retained earnings of $2.2 million (gross of the deferred tax impact of $0.6 million). The transition adjustment relates to incremental trade and notes receivable allowances due to the earlier recognition of expected losses under the new standard of $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Changes in the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Current Accounts Long-term (In thousands) and Notes Receivable Notes Receivable Total Balance at December 28, 2019 $ 2,739 $ 233 $ 2,972 Impact of adoption of new credit loss standard (ASU 2016-13) 1,911 259 2,170 Provision for expected credit losses 583 — 583 Write-offs charged against the allowance (202 ) (121 ) (323 ) Balance at October 3, 2020 $ 5,031 $ 371 $ 5,402 The Company has evaluated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in performing its quarterly evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts incremental allowances for doubtful accounts In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that are no longer considered to be cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and will be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
