The state, municipal and corporate bonds and asset-backed securities have contractual maturities which range from two days to 3.6 years. The U.S. Treasury Notes and Certificates of Deposit have contractual maturities which range from one day to 2.8 years. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded as Short-term investments, Restricted cash and Other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported net of taxes in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The asset-backed securities are bonds comprised of auto loans and bank credit cards that carry AAA ratings. The auto loan asset-backed securities are backed by static pools of auto loans that were originated and serviced by captive auto finance units, banks or finance companies. The bank credit card asset-backed securities are backed by revolving pools of credit card receivables generated by account holders of cards from American Express, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, and Discover. Additionally, at April 29, 2023, the Company had $ 0.8 million of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $ 9.3 million. At January 28, 2023, the Company had $ 0.9 million of corporate equities and deferred compensation plan assets of $ 9.3 million. All of these assets are recorded within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Level 1 category securities are measured at fair value using quoted active market prices. Level 2 investment securities include corporate and municipal bonds for which quoted prices may not be available on active exchanges for identical instruments. Their fair value is principally based on market values determined by management with assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and/or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, among other factors. Deferred compensation plan assets consist of life insurance policies. These life insurance policies are valued based on the cash surrender value of the insurance contract, which is determined based on such factors as the fair value of the underlying assets and discounted cash flow and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Level 3 liability associated with the life insurance policies represents a deferred compensation obligation, the value of which is tracked via underlying insurance funds’ net asset values, as recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These funds are designed to mirror mutual funds and money market funds that are observable and actively traded. The following tables summarize the change in fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs as of April 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023 (dollars in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Asset Inputs (Level 3) Cash Surrender Value Beginning Balance at January 28, 2023 $ 9,274 Redemptions - Additions - Total gains or (losses) Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) 7 Included in other comprehensive income - Ending Balance at April 29, 2023 $ 9,281 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Liability Inputs (Level 3) Deferred Compensation Beginning Balance at January 28, 2023 $ (8,903) Redemptions 292 Additions (82) Total (gains) or losses Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) (38) Included in other comprehensive income - Ending Balance at April 29, 2023 $ (8,731) Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Asset Inputs (Level 3) Cash Surrender Value Beginning Balance at January 29, 2022 $ 11,472 Redemptions (1,718) Additions - Total gains or (losses) Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) (480) Included in other comprehensive income - Ending Balance at January 28, 2023 $ 9,274 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Liability Inputs (Level 3) Deferred Compensation Beginning Balance at January 29, 2022 $ (10,020) Redemptions 1,142 Additions (379) Total (gains) or losses Included in interest and other income (or changes in net assets) 354 Included in other comprehensive income - Ending Balance at January 28, 2023 $ (8,903)

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	NOTE 12 – LEASES: The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for stores, offices, warehouse space and equipment. Its leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 10 years , some of which include options to extend the lease term for up to five years , and some of which include options to terminate the lease within one year . The Company considers these options in determining the lease term used to establish its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE: Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 260 – Earnings Per Share requires dual presentation of basic and diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) on the face of all income statements for all entities with complex capital structures. The Company has presented one basic EPS and one diluted EPS amount for all common shares in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. While the Company’s certificate of incorporation provides the right for the Board of Directors to declare dividends on Class A shares without declaration of commensurate dividends on Class B shares, the Company has historically paid the same dividends to both Class A and Class B shareholders and the Board of Directors has resolved to continue this practice. Accordingly, the Company’s allocation of income for purposes of the EPS computation is the same for Class A and Class B shares and the EPS amounts reported herein are applicable to both Class A and Class B shares. Basic EPS is computed as net income less earnings allocated to non-vested equity awards divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: The Company is, from time to time, involved in routine litigation incidental to the conduct of its business, including litigation regarding the merchandise that it sells, litigation regarding intellectual property, litigation instituted by persons injured upon premises under its control, litigation with respect to various employment matters, including alleged discrimination and wage and hour litigation, and litigation with present or former employees. Although such litigation is routine and incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business, as with any business of its size with a significant number of employees and significant merchandise sales, such litigation could result in large monetary awards. Based on information currently available, management does not believe that any reasonably possible losses arising from current pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. However, given the inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of such matters could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period. The Company accrues for these matters when the liability is deemed probable and reasonably estimable.
