                        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 January 28, 1995 and July 30, 1994 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended January 28,
1995 and January 22, 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 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 January 28, 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
3.  At both January 28, 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 $6,768,000 and $6,468,000 higher
than reported at January 28, 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 second quarter of fiscal 1995 were $171,804,000, a
decrease of 2.8% from the second quarter of the prior year.   Same store
sales decreased 1.7% 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, comparison to a prior
year number that was inflated by high promotional spending, and
continued sluggishness in the economy.  Sales for the twenty-six weeks
ended January 28, 1995 were $339,170,000, an increase of 1.1% from the
prior year.  Sales increased for the six month period 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 since
one year ago and lower same store sales of .9%. 
   Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the quarter and six months
ended January 28, 1995 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 months 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.  Promotional costs, particularly coupons, declined from
the unusually high levels in the second quarter one year ago, which in
part contributed to the lower same store sales.  
   Interest expense increased in fiscal 1995 due to higher interest
rates.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

   Current liabilities exceeded current assets by $4,297,000 at January
28, 1995 as compared to $4,100,000 at July 30, 1994.  The current ratio
remained at .90.  During the six month period, net cash provided by
operating activities of $8,557,000 and increased borrowings under the
revolving line of credit of $3,000,000 resulted in a net increase of
cash of $3,871,000 after payments of long term debt of $3,898,000 and
capital expenditures of $3,549,000.  The amount outstanding on the line
of credit is $7,000,000 at January 28, 1995.
   The majority of capital expenditures in the current fiscal year relate
to the completed expansion and remodel of the Stirling and Hillsborough
stores and the ongoing expansion and remodel of the Chester store.  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 January 28, 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.

Exhibit 28 (a)

                VILLAGE SUPER MARKET, INC. REPORTS RESULTS
           FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 28, 1995

Springfield, N.J. - March 3, 1995 - Village Super Market, Inc. reported
sales and net income for the second quarter and six months ended January
28, 1995, Perry Sumas, President announced today.

   Net income was $436,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared
to $157,000 in the prior year.  Sales for the second quarter were
$171,804,000, a decrease of 2.8% from the prior year.  

   Sales decreased as a result of stores closed since one year ago and a
same store sales decrease of 1.7%.  Same store sales decreased due to
competitive openings, a sluggish economy and a comparison to a year ago
period that was inflated by heavy promotional spending.  Mr. Sumas
commented that net income increased, despite lower sales, due to more
efficient use of labor and reduced promotional costs, particularly
coupons.

   For the six month period, sales were $339,170,000, an increase of 1.1%
from the prior year.  Sales increased due to the current year containing
twenty-six weeks, one more than the prior year.  This increase was
partially offset by the impact of stores closed since one year ago and
lower same store sales of .9%.  Net income for the six month period was
$519,000 compared to income before the cumulative effect of an
accounting change of $173,000 a year ago.

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

   The following table summarizes Village's results for the quarter and
six months ended January 28, 1995.

To Our Shareholders:

The Company had net income of $83,000 in the first quarter ended October
29, 1994, compared to income before an accounting change of $16,000 in
the prior year first quarter.  

Sales in the first quarter 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.  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.

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.  

The Company recently completed remodels of its Stirling and Hillsborough
stores.  In addition, a remodel and expansion of the Chester store is
currently underway.

October 29, 1994
