                          SHOPPERS FOOD WAREHOUSE CORP.
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company as of July 29,
2000, and for the 13 weeks and 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000, and July 31, 1999,
have not been audited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of July 29,
2000, and the results of its operations for the 13-week and 26-week periods
ended July 29, 2000, and July 31, 1999.


NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION

On August 31, 1999, Richfood Holdings, Inc. ("Richfood") was acquired in a
merger by a wholly-owned subsidiary of SUPERVALU INC., a Delaware corporation
("SUPERVALU"), and the Company became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of
SUPERVALU at that time ("the SUPERVALU acquisition"). Prior to August 31, 1999,
the Company was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Richfood. SUPERVALU has
accounted for the acquisition of Richfood using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, a new accounting basis was established as of August
31, 1999 and was used for the remaining twenty-two weeks of fiscal 2000. The
assets and liabilities of Shoppers were restated to reflect their estimated fair
market values as of that date. The excess of the purchase price paid for the
Company over its net assets acquired (goodwill) of $310,076 has been pushed down
to the Company. The goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40
years. Certain financial statements and related footnote amounts for periods
prior to the SUPERVALU acquisition may not be comparable to corresponding
amounts subsequent to the acquisition.


NOTE 3 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The July 29, 2000 consolidated balance sheet includes $42.9 million due to
affiliates compared to $52.0 million at January 29, 2000. The $42.9 million
consists primarily of amounts due to SUPERVALU for the purchase of bonds and
amounts due for inventory purchases and general and administrative expenses.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statements for Purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
----------------------------------------

The information in this Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements.
Important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in such forward looking statements are: the
impact of changing economic or business conditions, the impact of competition,
the nature and extent of the consolidation of the retail food and food
distribution industries, the ability to attract and retain customers for the
company's businesses, the ability to control food distribution costs, the
ability of the Company to grow through acquisition and assimilate acquired
entities, the availability of favorable credit and trade terms, food price
changes and other risk factors inherent in the food wholesaling and retail
businesses. Other risks or uncertainties may be detailed from time to time in
the Company's future Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Results of Operations
---------------------

RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER:

Sales increased by $5.2 million to $225.0 million during the 13 weeks ended July
29, 2000, compared to $219.8 million during the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999, an
increase of 2.4%. This increase was due primarily to two new stores and two
store remodels which have occurred since last year second quarter, offset, in
part, by the closing of one store last year. Comparable store sales increased
0.7% for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared to the corresponding period
of the prior year. The increase in comparable store sales was due primarily to
the completion of the two remodels during the current year.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 25.0% during the 13 weeks ended July
29, 2000, compared to 25.3% during the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to higher promotional activities.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 21.0% for
the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared to 21.8% for the 13 weeks ended July
31, 1999. The decrease was due primarily to decreased wages as a result of
improved labor management and lower administrative and advertising costs.

Operating income was $9.0 million for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared
to $7.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to the decrease in selling and administrative expenses during the current
year.

Interest income increased to approximately $1.2 million for the 13 weeks ended
July 29, 2000, compared to $0.9 million for the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999 due
to an increase in the outstanding balance of the note receivable.

Interest expense decreased approximately $0.6 million, to $3.7 million for the
13 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared to $4.3 million for the 13 weeks ended
July 31, 1999, a 14.4% decrease. The reduction in interest expense was due to
the retirement of $24.6 million of the Senior Notes in October 1999.

The effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2000, was 49.5%
compared to 54.0% for the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to increased taxable earnings in relation to the fixed
amount of acquisition non-deductible goodwill associated with the SUPERVALU
acquisition.

Net income was $3.3 million for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2000 compared to
$1.9 million for the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999.

YEAR TO DATE RESULTS:

Sales remained relatively flat at $439.6 million for the 26 weeks ended July 29,
2000 compared to $439.9 million for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 1999. Comparable
store sales decreased by 0.6% for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared to
the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in comparable store
sales was due primarily to increased competition, offset, in part, by the two
new remodels completed since the end of the prior year.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was relatively flat at 24.9% for the 26
weeks ended July 29, 2000 and 25.1% for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 1999.

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 21.6% for
the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared to 21.7% for the 26 weeks ended July
31, 1999.

Operating income was $14.7 million for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000,
compared to $15.0 million for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 1999, a decrease of
1.5%.

Interest income increased to approximately $2.2 million for the 26 weeks ended
July 29, 2000, compared to $1.7 million for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 1999,
due to an increase in the outstanding balance of the note receivable.

<PAGE>

Interest expense decreased approximately $1.4 million, to $7.3 million for the
26 weeks ended July 29, 2000, compared to $8.7 million for the 26 weeks ended
July 31, 1999, a 16.1% decrease. The reduction in interest expense was due to
the retirement of $24.6 million of the Senior Notes in October 1999.

The effective income tax rate for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000, was 51.8%
compared to 55.0% for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to increased taxable earnings in relation to the fixed
amount of acquisition non-deductible goodwill associated with the SUPERVALU
acquisition.

Net income was $4.7 million for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000 compared to
$3.6 million for the 26 weeks ended July 31, 1999, an increase of 29.2%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

During the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000, operating activities generated net cash
of $9.3 million, compared to $7.6 million provided during the 26 weeks ended
July 31, 1999. The increase was due primarily to higher operating earnings in
the current year.

Investing activities generated net cash of $1.0 million during the 26 weeks
ended July 29, 2000 compared to using $4.1 million for the 26 weeks ended July
31, 1999. The increase in net cash provided was due to the reimbursement of $4.4
million of renovation costs by a landlord. The Company estimates that it will
make total capital expenditures of approximately $44.0 million during the 52
weeks ending February 3, 2001, of which $23.0 million relates to capital leases
for new stores. Management expects that these capital expenditures will be
financed primarily through cash flows from operations, cash provided by
affiliated companies and capital leases.

Financing activities used $12.1 million during the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2000,
compared to using $8.2 million during the 13 weeks ended July 31, 1999. The
increase was due to the change in cash provided to affiliated companies and an
increase in payments on capital leases.

The Company believes that cash flows from Shoppers' operations as well as cash
provided by affiliated companies will be adequate to meet its anticipated
requirements for working capital, debt service, and capital expenditures.
