Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Weis Markets, Inc.
and, under the date of January 26, 1996, we reported on the
consolidated financial statements of Weis Markets, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994. On January 22, 1996, our appointment as
principal accountants was terminated effective with the
completion of the audit for the year ended December 30, 1995 and
the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have read Weis
Markets, Inc.'s statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-
K/A dated March 27, 1996, and we agree with such statements,
except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with
Weis Markets, Inc.'s statement that Ernst & Young LLP was not
engaged regarding the application of accounting principles or the
type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Weis Markets,
Inc.'s financial statements.
Very truly yours,
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
