Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesThe effective income tax rate was 28.1 percent for the thirteen weeks ended July 31, 2021, compared with negative 51.2 percent for the thirteen weeks ended August 1, 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the net operating loss carryback provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act during the second quarter of fiscal 2020 as well as changes in the geographical mix of pretax earnings.The effective income tax rate was 22.3 percent for the twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2021, compared with 23.5 percent for the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal 2021 compared with the first half of fiscal 2020 is primarily due to the tax benefit resulting from divestiture activity during the first half of fiscal 2021 as well as the impact of the CARES Act in the first half of fiscal 2020, partially offset by changes in the geographical mix of pretax earnings.
