                        VILLAGE SUPER MARKET, INC.
           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 April 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the periods ended April 29, 1995 and April
23, 1994.
     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 has elected not to restate
the financial statements of any prior years.  There was no effect from 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 April 29, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
3.  At both April 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 approximately 68% of the
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 $6,918,000 and $6,468,000 higher
than reported at April 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994, respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  Sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $164,453,000, a
decrease of 4.3% from the third quarter of the prior year.  Same store
sales decreased 1.3% in the quarter.  Sales were also lower due to the
closing of the Easton store in August 1994.  Same store sales declined due
to the effects of new competitive entries, continued sluggishness in the
economy and comparison to a prior year period that included higher
promotional spending.  Sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended April 29,
1995 were $503,624,000, a decrease of .7% from the prior year.  Sales
decreased due to stores closed since one year ago and lower same store
sales of 1.1%.  This decrease was partially offset by the current year
containing thirty-nine weeks compared to thirty-eight weeks in the prior
year.
  Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the quarter and nine months
ended April 29, 1995 were 24.6% and 24.4%, respectively, compared with
24.4% in both corresponding prior year periods.  The improvement in gross
margin percentage in the third quarter was due to the increasing mix of
sales in high margin perishable departments.  Price competition in the
marketplace and continued high levels of sale item penetration have
prevented further increases in gross margin throughout fiscal 1995.
  Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the
quarter and nine months decreased to 23.0% and 22.4%, respectively,
compared with 23.5% and 22.8%, respectively, in the corresponding prior
year periods.  These improvements were due to lower promotional costs and
lower store payroll costs than one year ago, partially offset by higher
supply costs. 

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

  Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,462,000 at April 29,
1995 as compared to $4,100,000 at July 30, 1994.  The current ratio was
 .96 at April 29, 1995 compared to .90 at July 30, 1994.  During the nine
month period, net cash provided by operating activities of $5,077,000 and
increased borrowings under the revolving line of credit of $6,600,000
resulted in a net increase in cash of $1,695,000 after payments of long
term debt of $4,553,000 and capital expenditures of $5,084,000.  The
amount outstanding on the line of credit was $10,600,000 at April 29, 1995.

<PAGE> 8

  The majority of capital expenditures in the current fiscal year relate
to the completed expansion and remodel 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 April 29, 1995, the Company was in compliance with all provisions of
its revolving/term loan agreement.  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 credit line), declaring dividends and executing 
new leases.  The Company is currently negotiating with this lender for 
relief under certain provisions of the debt agreement.

               VILLAGE SUPER MARKET, INC. REPORTS A NET LOSS
                   FOR THE QUARTER ENDED APRIL 29, 1995

Springfield, N.J. - June 1, 1995 - Village Super Market, Inc. reported a
net loss for the third quarter ended April 29, 1995, Perry Sumas,
President announced today.

In the third quarter, the Company had a net loss of $293,000.  This
compared with a net loss of $1,131,000 in the third quarter of the prior
year.  For the nine month period, the Company had net income of $227,000
compared to a $958,000 loss before the cumulative effect of an accounting
change a year ago.

Sales for the third quarter were $164,453,000, a decrease of 4.3% from the
prior year.  Sales decreased as a result of a store closed since one year
ago and a same store sales decrease of 1.3%.  Same store sales declined
due to the impact of new competitive entries, continued sluggishness in
the economy and comparison to a year ago period that included higher
promotional spending.  

The results for the April 1995 quarter were substantially better than the
prior year quarter, despite lower sales, due to lower payroll and
promotional costs, and increased gross margin percentages.

For the nine month period, sales were $503,624,000 a decrease of .7% from
the prior year.  Sales decreased due to stores closed since one year ago
and lower same store sales of 1.1%.  This decrease was partially offset by
the current year containing thirty-nine weeks compared to thirty-eight
weeks in the prior year.

Village Super Market, Inc. operates a chain of twenty-three supermarkets
under the Shop-Rite name in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.  The
following table summarizes Village's results for the quarter and nine
months ended April 29, 1995.

To Our Shareholders:

The Company had net income of $436,000 in the second quarter ended 
January 28, 1995 compared to $157,000 in the prior year second quarter. 
For the six month period, net income increased to $519,000 compared to
income before the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $173,000 in
the prior year.  Net income increased, despite lower sales, due to more
efficient use of labor and reduced promotional costs, particularly
coupons.

Sales in the second quarter decreased 2.8% from the prior year to
$171,804,000.  Same store sales decreased 1.7% in the second quarter. 
Sales were also lower due to the closing of the Easton store in August
1994.  Same store sales declined due to the effects of new competitive
entries, comparison to a prior year number that was inflated by higher
promotional spending, and continued sluggishness in the economy.

Sales for the six month period were $339,170,000, an increase of 1.1% 
from the prior year.  Sales for the six month period increased due to 
the current year containing an additional week compared to the prior 
year.  This increase was partially offset by lower sales due to stores
closed and lower same store sales of .9%.  

Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the quarter and six month
period were 24.4% and 24.3%, respectively, compared with 24.3% and 24.4%,
respectively, in the corresponding prior year periods.  Price 
competition in the marketplace and continued high levels of sale item
penetration have prevented increases in gross margin percentages.  

Operating and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the
quarter and six month periods decreased to 22.0% and 22.1%, respectively,
compared with 22.4% in both corresponding prior year periods.  These
improvements were due to lower promotional costs and lower store payroll
costs than one year ago, partially offset by higher fringe benefit and
supply costs.

The Company completed remodels of its Stirling and Hillsborough stores
earlier this fiscal year.  A remodel and expansion of the Chester store
will be completed during the third quarter.  The following table
summarizes Village's results for the quarter and six month periods ended
January 28, 1995.

                                   Respectfully,

Perry Sumas, President        James Sumas, Chairman of the Board
