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 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 2020 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.

Accordingly, the Company has no performance obligations under its contracts until its customers submit a purchase order. The Company does not receive pre-payment from its customers or enter into commitments to provide goods or services that have terms greater than one year. As the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of less than one year, the Company has applied the practical expedient under ASC 606 to omit disclosures regarding remaining performance obligations. Revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods (for example, due to changes in estimated rebates and incentives impacting the transaction price) was not material in any period presented. 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. 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 Other assets, net within the condensed consolidated 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 customer. 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 to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As a result, 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. Allowance for Credit Losses Changes to the balance of the allowance for credit losses were as follows: Allowance for Credit Losses Current Accounts Long-term (In thousands) and Notes Receivable Notes Receivable Total Balance at January 2, 2021 $ 6,232 $ 371 $ 6,603 Changes in credit loss estimates (1,097 ) 360 (737 ) Write-offs charged against the allowance (693 ) — (693 ) Balance at October 9, 2021 $ 4,442 $ 731 $ 5,173 Allowance for Credit Losses 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

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 4 – 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 9, 2021 and January 2, 2021. 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. The carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets was $67.6 million as of October 9, 2021 and January 2, 2021. 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 impairment is probable. Such circumstances have not arisen in the current fiscal year. 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. 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.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 6 – 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 Notes 4 and 5 for discussion of the fair value measurements related to long- or indefinite-lived asset impairment charges. At October 9, 2021 and January 2, 2021 the book value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs, were as follows: October 9, January 2, (In thousands) 2021 2021 Book value of debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs: Current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease liabilities $ 5,680 $ 5,135 Long-term debt and finance lease liabilities 401,517 485,381 Total book value of debt instruments 407,197 490,516 Fair value of debt instruments, excluding debt financing costs 412,680 497,941 Excess of fair value over book value $ 5,483 $ 7,425 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 7 – 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 certain of its collective bargaining agreements. Based on the most recent information available to the Company, management believes that the present value of actuarial accrued liabilities in the 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 the Plan, it is difficult to accurately determine the amount of the underfunding. Management is not aware of any significant change in funding levels since January 2, 2021. Any adjustment for withdrawal liability would be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably determined. On March 10, 2021, the United States Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the “Act”), which provides financial relief to certain failing multiemployer pension plans. In accordance with the interim guidance issued by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation on July 9, 2021, the Act is designed to prevent such plans from becoming insolvent for the next 30 years. The Central States Plan, which is in a critical and declining status, is expected to apply and qualify for relief under the Act when the filing period opens during the first half of fiscal year 2022. As a result, the legislation and the available relief will alleviate the risk of insolvency of the Plan for the next 30 years, and related potential adverse impacts to the Company.

These awards are classified as participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. Awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan do not contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are therefore not classified as participating securities.

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 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 2020 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.
