                          BRUNO'S, INC.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

              JANUARY 1, 1994 AND DECEMBER 26, 1992

                  (Dollar Amounts in Thousands)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
    include the accounts of Bruno's, Inc. and its wholly owned sub-
    sidiaries.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions 
    have been eliminated in consolidation.

    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
    consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
    (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
    a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and
    results of operations of the Company for the interim periods.
    The results of operations for the twenty-six (26) weeks ended 
    January 1, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the        
    results which may be expected for the entire year.


2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share was computed on the weighted average number
    of common shares outstanding during the respective periods    
    (78,057,000 and 79,413,000 for the twenty-six week periods,   
    respectively and 78,065,000 and 78,022,000 for the fourteen
    week periods, respectively).
    

3.  INCOME TAXES


    On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of  
    1993, was signed into law which increased Federal income tax
    rates from 34% to 35% for the Company retroactively effective 
    to January 1, 1993.  The new law changes the Company's        
    effective income tax rate to approximately 38% for fiscal 1994, 
    and required an adjustment of approximately $2,200 to         
    retroactively restate the current and deferred income tax     
    liabilities.  This adjustment combined with the increased tax 
    rate, resulted in an effective income tax rate for the first  
    quarter of fiscal 1994 of 50%.

4.  CONTINGENCIES

    The Company is a party to various legal and taxing authority
    proceedings incidental to its business.  In the opinion of
    management, the ultimate liability with respect to these actions
    will not materially affect the financial position or results of
    operations of the Company.

    The Company is contingently liable for rent payments for three
    store sites sold during fiscal 1992 should these stores be closed
    during the initial term of the remaining lease and not subleased to
    another party.  The contingent liability for two of the stores is
    $1,514 per year through 2014, while the third store has not yet 
    been leased.
    
    The Company has received a notice from the Pension Benefit Guaranty
    Corporation ("PBGC") contending that inappropriate actuarial
    assumptions were used in connection with final distributions of a
    previously terminated plan.  As such, the PBGC has taken a position
    that additional distributions must be made to former participants. 
    The amount of the Company's liability, if any, and the ultimate    
    outcome is unknown at the present time, but is not expected to 
    exceed $1,700, net of income taxes.


5.  DEBT RESTRUCTURE

    On September 1, 1993, the Company redeemed the $142,750 of 6.5%
    Convertible Subordinated Debentures at 103.9% of face value in
    accordance with the terms of the related indenture.  The redemption
    was financed with the proceeds of a $200,000 term loan which will
    amortize over 10 to 15 years at rates ranging from 6.6% to 7.1%.  
    This redemption resulted in a loss of $3,288 (net of the applicable 
    income tax benefit of $2,015) which is classified as an            
    extraordinary item in the accompanying fiscal 1994 statements of   
    income and retained earnings.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     (Dollar Amounts In Thousands)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales increased 1.5% ($20,564) and 2.7% (21,244), respectively, in
the twenty-six and fourteen week periods ended January 1, 1994, as
compared to the applicable periods in the prior year.  The net sales
increase was primarily attributed to the thirteen new stores opened in
the past year which more than offset closed and relocated stores.  Same
store sales decreased .3% during the second quarter of fiscal 1994 as
compared with the same period in fiscal 1993.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 22.8% and 22.5%,
respectively, in the twenty-six and fourteen week periods ended January
1, 1994, as compared to a gross profit percentage of 22.5% and 23.1% for
the applicable periods in fiscal 1993.  The slight increase in gross
profit percentage for the twenty-six week period represents the
carryover effect of the improvements realized through increased prices
in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  The slight decrease in gross
profit percentage for the fourteen week periods is due to increased
competition in the Company's primary markets and improved gross profits
in perishable items in the prior year second quarter.

Store operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales increased from 17.2% for the fourteen weeks ended December 26,
1992, to 18.1% for the fourteen weeks ended January 1, 1994.  This
increase as a percentage of net sales is a continuing trend of increased
costs associated with new store openings, coupled with slower sales
growth.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of
sales in fiscal 1994 over fiscal 1993 is the result of store growth (and
the related growth in depreciable assets) exceeding the applicable sales
growth.

Net interest expense has decreased in fiscal 1994 as compared to fiscal
1993 due to lower levels of short-term borrowings.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased from 36.1% in the
second quarter of fiscal 1993 to 38.0% in the second quarter of fiscal
1994, and increased from 36.1% for the twenty-six week periods ended
December 26, 1992, to 44.6% for the same period in fiscal 1994.  See
Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a
complete discussion of the increased provision for income taxes related
to increased statutory Federal income tax rates.

                                                    Commission File No. 0-6544



As completely discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company redeemed its 6.5% Convertible
Debentures at 103.9% of face value during the first quarter of fiscal
1994.  This redemption resulted in an extraordinary loss of $3,288 (net 
of the applicable income tax benefit of $2,015).


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Historically, the Company has funded working capital requirements,
capital expenditures and other cash requirements primarily through cash
flow from operations.  Operating activities have generated (utilized)
$8,157 and $(834), respectively, in cash in each of the twenty-six week
periods ended January 1, 1994, and December 26, 1992.  Additional
working capital was raised in the first quarter of fiscal 1993 and 1994
through proceeds from the issuance of term loans.  Also, the Company has
at its disposal a $75 million unsecured line of credit to meet any
short-term cash requirements.

The primary cash used in investing activities relates to the Company's
capital expenditures.  The Company has continued its expansion and
remodeling of stores programs during fiscal 1994.  Capital expenditures
were $38,886 compared with $76,826 in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993,
respectively.  The fiscal 1994 capital expenditures were financed with
internally generated funds and borrowings under the Company's line of
credit.

The Company plans to continue to expand through the opening of new
stores and may acquire existing stores or one or more supermarket
chains, if attractive acquisition opportunities become available.  The
Company anticipates that funds necessary for the expansion of its
business during the foreseeable future will be financed through
available cash reserves, internally generated funds and short-term
borrowings.  However, the Company may use for such purposes additional
sources of financing, which may include long-term borrowings and the
issuance of additional debt or equity securities. 

The Company estimates capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal
1994 to be approximately $31,000 and plans to finance these expenditures
through internally generated funds or other available resources.  These
estimated capital expenditures are primarily related to the opening of
new stores and the remodeling of existing stores.  Management
continuously evaluates all stores based upon volume, profitability,
location, age, demographics, etc. and makes closure decisions based upon
the evaluations.

As stated earlier, the Company has at its disposal a $75 million
unsecured line of credit to meet short-term cash requirements.  At July
3, 1993, $35 million of borrowings was outstanding under this line of
credit, while no borrowings were outstanding at January 1, 1994.  The
other primary use of cash in financing activities relates to the payment
of cash dividends which aggregated $9,370 and $8,795 during the first
two quarters of fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company issued a term bank
loan for $100,000 to finance a stock repurchase and repay short-term
borrowings.  As fully discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements, during the first quarter of fiscal
1994, the Company redeemed its 6.5% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures
with the proceeds of a $200,000 term loan.
