Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 3, 2015. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies since the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K. Pending Adoption of New Accounting Standards From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. The Company believes the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.
