Line of credit, interest rate terms												Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either a (a) eurodollar rate (generally LIBOR) or (b) base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (2) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. from time to time, and (3) the eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin is a percentage per annum varying from 0.00% to 0.75% for base rate loans and 1.00% to 1.75% for eurodollar loans, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also pays a commitment fee, based on the leverage ratio, payable quarterly in arrears, ranging from 0.225% to 0.300% on the average daily unused portion of the Facility. For purposes of this calculation, irrevocable standby letters of credit, issued primarily in conjunction with the Company’s self-insurance program, and cash borrowings are included as outstanding under the Facility.

Derivative, effective date								Feb. 24, 2011		Mar. 18, 2013	Apr. 11, 2013
Description of derivative agreement								The Company entered into a three-year forward starting interest rate swap agreement with an underlying notional amount of $25.0 million, pursuant to which the Company receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR and pays fixed interest at a rate of 0.89%. The effective date of this hedge was February 24, 2011. This swap is intended to hedge the interest risk associated with the Company's forecasted floating-rate, LIBOR-based debt.	During the three months ended April 30, 2013, the Company entered into a series of interest rate swap agreements with effective start dates of March 18, 2016 and April 11, 2016 and an aggregate notional amount of $155.0 million, pursuant to which the Company receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR and pays fixed interest at rates ranging from 0.44% to 0.47%. These interest rate swaps will mature between March 18, 2016 and April 11, 2016 and are structured to hedge the interest rate risk associated with our floating-rate, LIBOR-based borrowings under the Facility.
