      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            SEPTEMBER 24, 1994 AND SEPTEMBER 25, 1993

                  (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 twelve (12) weeks ended     
    September 24, 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    
    (77,797,000 and 78,048,000, respectively). Outstanding stock
    options are common stock equivalents but were excluded from 
    earnings per common share computations as their effect was 
    either not material or antidilutive.
    

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 changed the Company's        
    effective income tax rate to approximately 38% and required an 
    adjustment in the first quarter 1994 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 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 $2,700.


5.  DEBT RESTRUCTURE

    On September 1, 1993, the Company redeemed $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 first quarter of fiscal 1994 
    statement of income and retained earnings.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

             OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales increased $12.7 million or 2.0% in the twelve week period
ended September 24, 1994, as compared to the twelve week period ended
September 25, 1993. The net sales increase was primarily attributable to
the Company's recent focus on existing stores and stressing the
importance of customer service.  This strategy has resulted in positive
same store sales growth despite continued competitive pressures.  In
addition, sales for the 1994 fourth of July holiday weekend are included
in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 sales while a majority of the 1993
fourth of July holiday weekend sales were included in the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1993.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 23.9% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to 23.1% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1994.  The increase in gross profit percentage from the first
quarter of the prior year is due to increased retail prices over the
prior year and the continued decline in the cost of grocery and meat
prices.

Store operating, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
net sales increased from 17.8% for the twelve weeks ended September 25,
1993, to 18.4% for the twelve weeks ended September 24, 1994.  This
increase as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to increased
costs associated with new store openings and the Company's concerted
efforts at improving customer service by maintaining more personnel in
certain format stores and renovating certain existing stores to a
different more customer service oriented store format.

The $1.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense in
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 is the result of an increase in the Company's depreciable
asset base due to new store openings and store renovations.

The increase in net interest expense of $429,000 from the first quarter
level in 1994 to the first quarter level in 1995 is due to an increase
in interest rates which effected the Company's net interest position on
its $80 million notional interest rate swap.  The Company paid
approximately $26.9 million on long-term debt at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 which did not effect interest expense in that
quarter but will serve to reduce interest expense in future periods.

                                                    Commission File No. 0-6544





The decrease in the provision for income taxes as a percentage of sales
from 1.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 to 1.0% in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 results from the fiscal 1994 increase in
statutory rates which became effective retroactively to January 1, 1994. 
See Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for a further discussion of the increased statutory rates and impact on
the Company's effective tax rate.

As 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 $3.3 million (net 
of the applicable income tax benefit of $2.0 million).



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 $1.8 million
and $3.1 million, respectively, in cash in each of the periods ended
September 24, 1994, and September 25, 1993.  The Company has at its
disposal a $75 million unsecured line of credit (no amounts outstanding
at September 24, 1994) to meet any short-term cash requirements.

Cash flow provided by (used in) investing activities were $6.9 million
and ($12.0) million for the twelve weeks ended September 24, 1994 and
September 25, 1993, respectively.  Proceeds from the sale of certain
property totaled $17.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1995
compared to $7.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  There
were no material gains or losses generated from these sales.  The
Company has continued its expansion and remodeling of stores programs
during fiscal 1995.  Capital expenditures were $10.9 million compared
with $19.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994,
respectively.  Capital expenditures were financed with internally
generated funds.

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.

                                                    Commission File No. 0-6544 



The Company estimates capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal
1995 to be approximately $49 million 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.

The primary uses of cash in financing activities during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 were a $26.9 million reduction in long-term debt,
$5.1 million in cash dividends paid, and $4.7 million purchase of
595,000 shares of treasury stock.  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 proceeds of a $200 million term loan.  In addition,
during the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company paid off its line
of credit borrowings of $35 million and paid cash dividends of $4.7
million.


OTHER

On July 22, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
repurchase on the open market of up to $25 million of the Company's
common stock.  As noted above, during the first quarter of fiscal 1995
the Company purchased 595,000 shares at a total price of $4.7 million.
