BRUNO'S CHANGES FISCAL YEAR
BIRMINGHAM, AL (December 8, 1995) -- Bruno's Inc., today announced that

Company's current fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to June 30. The
Company's new fiscal year will end on the Saturday closest to January 31.
Bruno's said a January year-end is more convenient given seasonal activity
and is also more consistent with other retailers. Additionally, the change to
a January year-end is intended to mark the beginning of a new era at Bruno's and
to facilitate easier year-over-year and peer group comparisons.
The Company will report an abbreviated fiscal year ending January 27 and
will begin its new fiscal year January 28, 1996.
Bruno's, Inc. is a leading regional food retailer operating a total of
