Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements [Abstract]

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the "Company") are principally engaged in the operation and development in the United States of the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® ("Cracker Barrel") concept.

On December 20, 2011, the Company's shareholders approved an agreement and plan of merger (the "merger agreement") effecting an internal restructuring of the Company through the merger of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. ("Holdco") with and into CBOCS, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, effective as of December 23, 2011. At the effective time of the merger, the name of CBOCS, Inc., the surviving corporation in the merger, was changed to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the outstanding shares of Holdco's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were converted into an equivalent number of shares of the surviving corporation's common stock and were owned directly by the Company's shareholders in the same proportion as their ownership of Holdco immediately prior to the merger. The Company's common stock continues to be listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the same ticker symbol, "CBRL." The merger did not result in any material changes in the business, offices, assets, liabilities, obligations, net worth, directors, officers or employees of Holdco.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets at April 27, 2012 and July 29, 2011 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the quarters and/or nine-month periods ended April 27, 2012 and April 29, 2011, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 29, 2011 (the "2011 Form 10-K"). The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as described in the 2011 Form 10-K. References in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to a year are to the Company's fiscal year unless otherwise noted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement Adopted

Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amended accounting guidance which provides additional guidance on how to determine fair value under existing standards and expands existing disclosure requirements on a prospective basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting guidance in the third quarter of 2012 did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance which requires companies to present total comprehensive income and its components and the components of net income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two consecutive statements reporting net income and comprehensive income. This requirement eliminates the option to present components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. This guidance affects only the presentation of comprehensive income and does not change the components of comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB further amended this guidance to indefinitely defer the effective date of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and in other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. All other provisions of this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2013 will have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance which requires companies to disclose information about the nature of their rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with their financial instruments and derivative instruments to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on their financial position. Each company will be required to provide both net and gross information in the notes to its financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are eligible for offset. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013 on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2014 will have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.

*Consists of money market fund investments.

**Represents plan assets invested in mutual funds established under a Rabbi Trust for the Company's non-qualified savings plan and is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as other assets.

The Company's money market fund investments and deferred compensation plan assets are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap liability is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows. Since the Company's interest rate swap values are based on the LIBOR forward curve, which is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps, it is considered a Level 2 input. Nonperformance risk is reflected in determining the fair value of the interest rate swaps by using the Company's credit spread less the risk-free interest rate, both of which are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the terms of the swaps. Thus, the adjustment for nonperformance risk is also considered a Level 2 input.

The fair values of the Company's accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of their short duration. The fair value of the Company's variable rate debt, based on quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 inputs, approximates its carrying amount at April 27, 2012 and July 29, 2011.

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following at:

	April 27, 2012			July 29, 2011
Revolving credit facility expiring on July 8, 2016	$	318,750		$	318,750
Term loan payable on or before July 8, 2016		231,250			231,250
Note payable		169			246
		550,169			550,246
Current maturities		(14,168	)		(103	)
Long-term debt	$	536,001		$	550,143

The Company's $750,000 credit facility (the "Credit Facility") consists of a term loan and a $500,000 revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). At April 27, 2012, the Company had $318,750 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $28,606 of standby letters of credit, which reduce the Company's availability under the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 15). At April 27, 2012, the Company had $152,644 in borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.

In accordance with the Credit Facility, outstanding borrowings bear interest, at the Company's election, either at LIBOR or prime plus a percentage point spread based on certain specified financial ratios. As of April 27, 2012, the Company's outstanding borrowings were swapped at a weighted average interest rate of 7.57% (see Note 5 for information on the Company's interest rate swaps).

The Credit Facility contains customary financial covenants, which include maintenance of a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio. At April 27, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The Credit Facility also imposes restrictions on the amount of dividends the Company is permitted to pay and the amount of shares the Company is permitted to repurchase. In April 2012, the Company amended the Credit Facility to provide more flexibility with regard to the dividends the Company is permitted to pay as well as the amount of shares the Company is able to repurchase. Under the amended Credit Facility, if there is no default existing and the total of the Company's availability under the Revolving Credit Facility plus the Company's cash and cash equivalents on hand is at least $100,000 (the "liquidity requirements"), the Company may declare and pay cash dividends on shares of its common stock if the aggregate amount of dividends paid in any fiscal year is less than 20% of Consolidated EBITDA from continuing operations (as defined in the Credit Facility) (the "20% limitation") during the immediately preceding fiscal year. In any event, as long as the liquidity requirements are met, dividends may be declared and paid in any fiscal year up to the amount of dividends permitted and paid in the preceding fiscal year without regard to the 20% limitation.

The note payable consists of a five-year note with a vendor with an original principal amount of $507 and represents the financing of prepaid maintenance for telecommunications equipment. The note payable is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest of $9 through October 16, 2013 and bears interest at 2.88% per year.

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has interest rate risk relative to its outstanding borrowings, which bear interest at the Company's election either at the prime rate or LIBOR plus a percentage point spread based on certain specified financial ratios under the Credit Facility (see Note 4). The Company's policy has been to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. To manage this risk in a cost efficient manner, the Company uses derivative instruments, specifically interest rate swaps.

For each of the Company's interest rate swaps, the Company has agreed to exchange with a counterparty the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. The interest rates on the portion of the Company's outstanding debt covered by its interest rate swaps is fixed at the rates in the table below plus the Company's credit spread. The Company's weighted average credit spread at April 27, 2012 was 2.00%. All of the Company's interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

A summary of the Company's interest rate swaps is as follows:

Trade Date	Effective Date	Term (in Years)		Notional Amount		Fixed Rate
May 4, 2006	August 3, 2006		7	$	550,000		5.57	%
August 10, 2010	May 3, 2013		2		200,000		2.73	%
July 25, 2011	May 3, 2013		2		50,000		2.00	%
July 25, 2011	May 3, 2013		3		50,000		2.45	%
September 19, 2011	May 3, 2013		2		25,000		1.05	%
September 19, 2011	May 3, 2013		2		25,000		1.05	%
December 7, 2011	May 3, 2013		3		50,000		1.40	%

The notional amount of the Company's interest rate swap entered into on May 4, 2006 decreases to $525,000 from May 3, 2012 throughout the remainder of its term.

The Company does not hold or use derivative instruments for trading purposes. The Company also does not have any derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and has not designated any non-derivatives as hedging instruments.

The estimated fair values of the Company's derivative instruments as of April 27, 2012 and July 29, 2011 were as follows:

	Balance Sheet Location		April 27, 2012				July 29, 2011
Interest rate swaps (See Note 2)	Interest rate swap liability		$	38,702			$	51,604

The estimated fair value of the Company's interest rate swap liability incorporates the Company's non-performance risk (see Note 2). The adjustment related to the Company's non-performance risk at April 27, 2012 and July 29, 2011 resulted in reductions of $976 and $1,546, respectively, in the fair value of the interest rate swap liability. The offset to the interest rate swap liability is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"), net of the deferred tax asset, and will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the underlying debt. As of April 27, 2012, the estimated pre-tax portion of AOCL that is expected to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months is $26,943. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap are included in interest expense and in operating activities.

The following table summarizes the pre-tax effects of the Company's derivative instruments on AOCL for the nine-month period ended April 27, 2012 and the year ended July 29, 2011:

	Amount of Income Recognized in AOCL on Derivatives (Effective Portion)
	Nine Months Ended		Year Ended
	April 27, 2012		July 29, 2011
Cash flow hedges:
Interest rate swaps	$	22,134	$	14,677

The following table summarizes the pre-tax effects of the Company's derivative instruments on income for the quarters and nine-month periods ended April 27, 2012 and April 29, 2011:

	Location of Loss Reclassified from AOCL into Income (Effective Portion)	Amount of Loss Reclassified from AOCL into Income (Effective Portion)
		Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
		April 27, 2012		April 29, 2011		April 27, 2012		April 29, 2011
Cash flow hedges:
Interest rate swaps	Interest expense	$	7,222	$	7,765	$	22,134	$	22,878

Any portion of the fair value of the swaps determined to be ineffective will be recognized currently in earnings. No ineffectiveness has been recorded in the nine-month periods ended April 27, 2012 and April 29, 2011.

The entire disclosure for the entity's entire derivative instruments and hedging activities. Describes an entity's risk management strategies, derivatives in hedging activities and non-hedging derivative instruments, the assets, obligations, liabilities, revenues and expenses arising therefrom, and the amounts of and methodologies and assumptions used in determining the amounts of such items.

Shareholders' Rights Plan [Text Block]

7.	Shareholder Rights Plan

September 22, 2011 Shareholder Rights Plan

On September 22, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan (the "September 22, 2011 Rights Agreement") and the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") to shareholders of record on October 3, 2011 (see Note 11 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2011 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the September 22, 2011 Rights Agreement and the Rights). The September 22, 2011 Rights Agreement was not approved by the Company's shareholders at its annual shareholders' meeting on December 20, 2011. As a result, the September 22, 2011 Rights Agreement was terminated and the Rights expired on December 28, 2011, following the certification of voting results at the annual shareholders' meeting.

April 9, 2012 Shareholder Rights Plan

On April 9, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan, as set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of April 9, 2012 (the "April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement"), by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent. Pursuant to the terms of the April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $.01 per share. The dividend was payable on April 20, 2012 to the shareholders of record as of the close of business on April 20, 2012.

The Rights

The Rights initially trade with, and are inseparable from, the Company's common stock. The Rights are evidenced only by the balances indicated in the book-entry account system of the transfer agent for the Company's common stock or, in the case of certified shares, the certificates that represent shares of the Company's common stock. New Rights will accompany any new shares of common stock the Company issues after April 20, 2012 until the earlier of the Distribution Date, redemption of the Rights by the Board of Directors or the final expiration date of the April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement, each as described below.

Exercise Price

Each Right will allow its holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Preferred Share") for $200.00 (the "Exercise Price"), once the Rights become exercisable. This portion of a Preferred Share will give the shareholder approximately the same dividend and liquidation rights as would one share of common stock. Prior to exercise, the Right does not give its holder any dividend, voting, or liquidation rights.

Exercisability

The Rights will not be exercisable until 10 days after the public announcement that a person or group has become an "Acquiring Person" by obtaining beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Distribution Date"). Until the Distribution Date, the balances in the book-entry accounting system of the transfer agent for the Company's common stock or, in the case of certificated shares, common stock certificates will evidence the Rights, and any transfer of shares of common stock will constitute a transfer of Rights. After the Distribution Date, the Rights will separate from the common stock and will be evidenced by book-entry credits or by Rights certificates that the Company will mail to all eligible holders of the Company's common stock. Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person or any associate or affiliate thereof will be void and may not be exercised.

After the Distribution Date, each Right will generally entitle the holder, except the Acquiring Person or any associate or affiliate thereof, to acquire, for the exercise price of $200.00 per Right (subject to adjustment as provided in the April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement), shares of the Company's common stock (or, in certain circumstances, Preferred Shares) having a market value equal to twice the Right's then-current exercise price. In addition, if, the Company is later acquired in a merger or similar transaction after the Distribution Date, each Right will generally entitle the holder, except the Acquiring Person or any associate or affiliate thereof, to acquire, for the exercise price of $200.00 per Right (subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement), shares of the acquiring corporation having a market value equal to twice the Right's then-current exercise price.

At April 27, 2012, none of the Rights are exercisable.

Preferred Share Provisions

Each one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, if issued:

●

will not be redeemable.

●

will entitle holders to quarterly dividend payments of $0.01 per share, or an amount equal to the dividend paid on one share of common stock, whichever is greater.

●

will entitle holders upon liquidation either to receive $1.00 per share or an amount equal to the payment made on one share of common stock, whichever is greater.

●

will have the same voting power as one share of common stock.

●

if shares of the Company's common stock are exchanged via merger, consolidation, or a similar transaction, will entitle holders to a per share payment equal to the payment made on one share of common stock.

The value of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share will generally approximate the value of one share of common stock.

Redemption

The Board of Directors may redeem the Rights for $0.01 per Right at any time before any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person. If the Board of Directors redeems any Rights, it must redeem all of the Rights. Once the Rights are redeemed, the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price of $0.01 per Right. The redemption price will be adjusted if the Company has a stock split or stock dividends of its common stock.

Qualifying Offer Provision

The Rights would also not interfere with all-cash, fully financed tender offers for all shares of common stock that remain open for a minimum of 60 business days, are subject to a minimum condition of a majority of the outstanding shares and provide for a 20 business day "subsequent offering period" after consummation (such offers are referred to as "qualifying offers"). In the event the Company receives a qualifying offer and the Board of Directors has not redeemed the Rights prior to the consummation of such offer, the consummation of the qualifying offer shall not cause the offeror or its affiliates or associates to become an Acquiring Person, and the Rights will immediately expire upon consummation of the qualifying offer.

Exchange

After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, but before an Acquiring Person owns 50% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors may extinguish the Rights by exchanging one share of common stock or an equivalent security for each Right, other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person.

Anti-Dilution Provisions

The Board of Directors may adjust the purchase price of the Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares issuable and the number of outstanding Rights to prevent dilution that may occur from a stock dividend, a stock split or a reclassification of the Preferred Shares or common stock.

Amendments

The terms of the April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement may be amended by the Board of Directors without the consent of the holders of the Rights. After a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, the Board of Directors may not amend the agreement in a way that adversely affects holders of the Rights.

Expiration

If the April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement is approved by the shareholders at the 2012 annual shareholders' meeting, the Rights will expire on April 9, 2015. If shareholders do not approve the April 9, 2012 Rights Agreement, it will expire on the close of business on the day following certification of the vote at the 2012 annual meeting.

Seasonality	9 Months Ended
Seasonality	Apr. 27, 2012
Seasonality [Abstract]
Seasonality	9. Seasonality Historically, the net income of the Company has been lower in the first and third quarters and higher in the second and fourth quarters. Management attributes these variations to the Christmas holiday shopping season and the summer vacation and travel season. The Company's retail sales, which are made substantially to the Company's restaurant customers, historically have been highest in the Company's second quarter, which includes the Christmas holiday shopping season. Historically, interstate tourist traffic and the propensity to dine out have been much higher during the summer months, thereby contributing to higher profits in the Company's fourth quarter. The Company generally opens additional new locations throughout the year. Therefore, the results of operations for any interim period cannot be considered indicative of the operating results for an entire year.

During the quarter ended April 29, 2011, the Company determined that a leased store was impaired, resulting in an impairment charge of $2,175. This leased store was impaired because of declining operating performance and resulting negative cash flow projections. During the quarter ended April 29, 2011, the Company's gain on disposition of stores included gains resulting from the sale of two closed stores and a condemnation award.

Restructuring

13. Restructuring

In April 2012, the Company restructured and streamlined its field organization to better align its restaurant and retail operations under central leadership. The restructuring of the field organization and related changes in the Company's headquarters resulted in the elimination of approximately 20 positions. As a result, the Company incurred severance charges of $1,660, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses. In July 2011, as part of its cost reduction and organization streamlining initiative, the Company incurred severance charges related to the elimination of approximately 60 management and staff positions. The related severance accruals for these restructurings are recorded in other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net Income Per Share and Weighted Average Shares

14. Net Income Per Share and Weighted Average Shares

Basic consolidated net income per share is computed by dividing consolidated net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted consolidated net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, options or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock and is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common equivalent shares outstanding during the reporting period. Common equivalent shares related to stock options and nonvested stock and stock awards issued by the Company are calculated using the treasury stock method. The Company's outstanding stock options and nonvested stock and stock awards issued by the Company represent the only dilutive effects on diluted consolidated net income per share.

The following table reconciles the components of diluted earnings per share computations:

	Quarter Ended				Nine Months Ended
	April 27, 2012		April 29, 2011		April 27, 2012		April 29, 2011
Net income per share numerator	$	18,974	$	15,154	$	68,385	$	67,665

Net income per share denominator:

Add potential dilution:

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

15.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims incidental to their business in the ordinary course. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Related to its workers' compensation insurance coverage, the Company is contingently liable pursuant to standby letters of credit as credit guarantees to certain insurers. As of April 27, 2012, the Company had $28,606 of standby letters of credit related to securing reserved claims under workers' compensation insurance. All standby letters of credit are renewable annually and reduce the Company's borrowing availability under its Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 4).

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company received proceeds of $3,000 from a lawsuit settlement and recorded the proceeds as a gain that is included in other store operating expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Because the Company believed this settlement represented a gain contingency, the Company did not record such gain contingency until the settlement amount and timing were assured.

The Company is secondarily liable for lease payments under the terms of an operating lease that has been assigned to a third party. At April 27, 2012, the lease has a remaining life of approximately 1.4 years with annual lease payments of approximately $361 for a total guarantee of $511. The Company's performance is required only if the assignee fails to perform its obligations as lessee. At this time, the Company has no reason to believe that the assignee will not perform and, therefore, no provision has been made in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for amounts to be paid in case of non-performance by the assignee.

Upon the sale of Logan's Roadhouse, Inc. ("Logan's") in 2007, the Company reaffirmed its guarantee of the lease payments for two Logan's restaurants. The lease term has expired for one of these operating leases. At April 27, 2012, the remaining operating lease had a remaining life of 7.9 years with an annual payment of approximately $108, for a total guarantee of $901. The Company's performance is required only if Logan's fails to perform its obligations as lessee. At this time, the Company has no reason to believe Logan's will not perform, and therefore, no provision has been made in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for amounts to be paid as a result of non-performance by Logan's.

The Company enters into certain indemnification agreements in favor of third parties in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the probability of incurring an actual liability under such indemnification agreements is sufficiently remote so that no liability has been recorded. In connection with the divestiture of Logan's, the Company entered into various agreements to indemnify third parties against certain tax obligations, for any breaches of certain representations and warranties in the applicable transaction documents and for certain costs and expenses that may arise out of specified real estate matters, including potential relocation and legal costs. The Company believes that the probability of being required to make any indemnification payments to such third parties in connection with the divestiture of Logan's is remote, and therefore, no provision has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for potential tax indemnifications.

The entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.
