                            STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D


      Reference is made to the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D")
filed on May 28, 1999 by Janet C. Weis ("Janet Weis"), Weis Family Holdings,
L.P. ("WFHLP") and Weis Family Holdings, L.L.C. ("WFHLLC"), the Statement on
Schedule 13G filed on December 28, 1998 by Michael M. Apfelbaum ("Michael
Apfelbaum"), as amended, and the Statement on Schedule 13G filed on December
18, 1998 by Sidney Apfelbaum, as amended, with respect to their beneficial
ownership of the common stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of Weis
Markets, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Issuer"), each as amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed November 30, 1999 ("Amendment No. 1"),
Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed December 2, 1999, Amendment No. 3 to
Schedule 13D filed December 8, 1999, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed
December 10, 1999, Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed December 23, 1999
and Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed April 11, 2000.  This Amendment No.
7 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D as follows.  Capitalized terms used
without definition in this Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D shall have the
meanings set forth in Amendment No. 1.

Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

      Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

      On May 12, 2000, two of the Reporting Persons, Joseph I. Goldstein and
Michael M. Apfelbaum, each of whom is a director of Issuer, transmitted a letter
to the Board of Directors of Issuer (the "Board").

      In the letter, Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum noted the Board's decision
to increase its size and to identify and appoint additional non-employee
directors of exceptional background and experience, and expressed their support
for this decision. However, Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum reconfirmed their
recommendation that Mr. John S. Furst be appointed to the Board as a
non-employee director, and expressed their disappointment that Mr. Furst was not
included on in management's slate of directors for the Issuer's upcoming annual
meeting.

      Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum proceeded to highlight Mr. Furst's
distinguished record of accomplishments and experience, including more than 25
years with Coopers & Lybrand, 12 years of which was spent as a member of the
governing body of that firm. Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum also noted that Mr.
Furst's prior affiliation with the Issuer afforded him familiarity with the
Issuer and its operations, and that Mr. Furst's background in financial
accounting would be a tremendous asset to the Issuer and the Board, particularly
in light of the New York Stock Exchange's and Securities and Exchange
Commission's recent pronouncements on the composition and responsibilities of
audit committees.

      Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum then stated that Mr. Furst is an
exceptional candidate for the Board.  Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum
concluded by stating their belief that Mr. Furst is well-equipped to
represent and serve the best interests of all of the Issuer's shareholder
constituencies and that he would contribute substantially to the Board and
the quality of its decision-making.
