           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal 
and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as 
of October 29,1994 and July 30, 1994 and the results of operations and cash 
flows for the periods ended October 29, 1994 and October 23, 1993.
  The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
Note 1 to the Company's financial statements in the July 30, 1994 Village Super
Market, Inc. Annual Report.  
  Effective August 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement NO. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under Statement 109, the liability method is 
used in accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets 
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates in effect.
  As permitted by Statement 109, the Company elected not to restate the
financial statements of any prior years.  There was no effect of the change in
accounting on pretax income for the periods presented.  The cumulative effect 
of the change increased net income by $400,000 ($.14 per share) in the quarter 
ended October 23, 1993.
2. The results of operations for the period ended October 29, 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  
3. At both October 29, 1994 and July 30, 1994 approximately 68% of merchandise
inventories are valued by the LIFO method while the balance is valued by FIFO.
If the FIFO method had been used for the entire inventory, inventories would 
have been $6,643,000 and $6,468,000 higher than reported at October 29, 1994 
and July 30, 1994, respectively.

Item 2.
         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CON
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  Sales increased 5.4% to $167,366,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
Sales increased due to the current years first quarter containing thirteen weeks
compared to twelve weeks in the prior year.  This increase was partially offset
by stores closed since one year ago, including the closing of the Easton,
Pennsylvania store in August 1994.  Same store sales were flat in the quarter
due to the continued sluggishness in the economy and the effects of new 
competitive entries.
  Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreased to 24.3% in the current
quarter compared with 24.5% in the corresponding quarter one year ago.  Gross
margins declined due to high levels of sale item penetration and price 
competition in the marketplace.  
  Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to
22.3% from 22.5% in the prior year.  This was due to decreased labor and
promotional costs as part of the Company's effort to make its operations more
efficient.
  Interest expense increased in fiscal 1995 due to higher rates and higher debt
levels outstanding.  
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
  Current liabilities exceed current assets by $2,900,000 at October 29, 1994
compared to $4,100,000 at July 30, 1994.  The current ratio increased to .93 at
October 29, 1994 from .90 at July 30, 1994.
  During the quarter, debt payments of $3,197,000, capital expenditures of
$1,888,000 and increases in non-cash working capital items were paid for by
increased use of the revolving line of credit.  As a result, the Company 

<PAGE> 8

increased the balance outstanding on its line of credit to $8,100,000 at 
October 29, 1994 from $4,000,000 at July 30, 1994.  
  The majority of capital expenditures in the current quarter related to the
remodel and expansion of the Stirling, Hillsborough and Chester stores.  The
Company has budgeted approximately $8,000,000 for capital expenditures this 
fiscal year.  The Company expects to finance these expenditures through 
internally generated funds and borrowing under its credit facility.
  On October 29, 1994, the Company was in compliance with all provisions of its
revolving/term loan agreement as amended on October 21, 1994.  At October 29,
1994, the Company did not meet a cash flow to fixed charge coverage ratio
contained in two other debt agreements with a different lender.  This does not
constitute an event of default.  However, until this ratio is met or unless a
waiver is obtained, the agreements prevent the Company from borrowing additional
funds (other than the Company's revolving loan), declaring dividends and 
executing new leases.

                 VILLAGE SUPER MARKET, INC. REPORTS RESULTS 
                 FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 29, 1994

Springfield, N.J. - December 8, 1994 - Village Super Market, Inc.
reported sales and net income for the quarter ended October 29, 1994,
Perry Sumas, President, announced today.

   Net income was $83,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to
income before the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $16,000 in
the prior year.  The prior year first quarter also included the
cumulative effect of a change in the method of accounting for income
taxes which increased net income by $400,000.  First quarter sales
increased 5.4% to $167,366,000. 

   Sales increased due to the current quarter containing thirteen weeks
compared to the prior year's twelve weeks.  Partially offsetting this
sales increase was the impact of stores closed since one year ago,
including the closing of the Easton, Pennsylvania store in August 1994. 
Same store sales were flat in the current quarter due to the continued
sluggish economy and the effects of competitive openings.

   Mr. Sumas commented that net income increased slightly as the Company
was able to reduce operating expenses to offset a decline in gross
margins.  Gross margin percentages declined due to high levels of sale
item penetration and increased price competition.  Operating expenses
declined due to more efficient use of labor and promotional costs.

   Village Super Market, Inc. owns and operates a chain of 23
supermarkets under the ShopRite name in New Jersey and Eastern
Pennsylvania.  

   The following table summarizes Village's results for the quarter ended
October 29, 1994.
