ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


SUMMARY OF CASH AND CERTAIN OTHER COMPENSATION

     In December 1995, the Company changed its fiscal year from a 52-week or
53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to June 30 to a 52-week or
53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to January 31.  In order to
implement this change, the Company had a 30-week fiscal year beginning on July
2, 1995 and ending on January 27, 1996 (the "Transition Period").

     The following table sets forth the compensation paid or accrued during the
Transition Period and during the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997 (which is
referred to in the table as "Fiscal 1996") for the Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company and for the other individuals who were
serving as executive officers of the Company as of February 1, 1997 (the
"Executive Officers").  None of the Executive Officers was employed by the
Company prior to the Transition Period.

     (1) All of the stock options granted to the Executive Officers are
non-qualified options and have a term of ten years from the date of grant.
One-half of the options granted to each Executive Officer become exercisable
based on the Executive Officer's length of service with the Company (the "Time
Options"), and the remaining one-half of the options become exercisable based
on the Company's financial performance (the "Performance Options").  The Time
Options granted to each Executive Officer become exercisable in equal
installments of 20% per year over a five-year period.  The Performance Options
become exercisable with respect to 20% of the underlying shares on each August
18 following the completion of a fiscal year of the Company in which the
Company meets the annual and cumulative performance targets specified by the
Board of Directors of the Company.  If the performance targets specified by the
Board of Directors are not met for a given year but the Company meets both its
annual and cumulative performance targets in a subsequent year, then the
Performance 


                                      3
<PAGE>   6

Options will become exercisable with respect to all of the shares that would
have been exercisable if the performance targets had been met as scheduled.  All
Performance Options will become exercisable after seven years from the date of
grant, regardless of whether the Company's performance targets have been met.

     (2) The dollar gains shown in these columns result from calculations
using assumed annual growth rates of  0%, 5%, and 10% in the value of the
Company's Common Stock measured from the market value at the date of grant
through the expiration date of the ten-year life of the stock options granted to
the Executive Officers. These assumed rates of growth were selected by the
Securities and Exchange Commission for illustration purposes only and are not
intended to forecast future stock prices, which will depend upon market
conditions and the Company's future performance and prospects.  The dollar gains
shown in these columns reflect a future value based upon growth at the
prescribed rates.  The column labeled 0% shows the value at the date of grant of
stock options whose exercise price was below the market price of the Company's
Common Stock at the date of grant.

     (3) The options granted to Mr. Heintzman were cancelled and terminated in
connection with his resignation as Senior Vice President - Merchandising of the
Company effective as of February 1, 1997.  The Company made a payment to Mr.
Heintzman in the amount of $3,000 in connection with the termination of his
stock options.

     (4) The options granted to Ms. Kranc were cancelled and terminated in
connection with her resignation as Senior Vice President - Marketing of the
Company effective as of March 31, 1997.  The Company made a payment to Ms.
Kranc in the amount of $2,250 in connection with the termination of her stock
options.

     (1) The numbers in these columns represent the difference between the fair
market value of the shares of the Company's Common Stock on February 1, 1997
and the exercise price for the unexercised options.  The fair market value of
the Company's Common Stock on February 1, 1997 was $16.00 per share based on
trading in the over-the-counter market.  SEE ITEM 5.  "MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S
COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS."  An option is "in-the-money" if
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock exceeds the exercise price.

     (2) The options granted to Mr. Heintzman were cancelled and terminated in
connection with his resignation as Senior Vice President - Merchandising of the
Company effective as of February 1, 1997.  The Company made a payment to Mr.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

     The Company maintains a profit sharing and retirement savings plan
pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
To be eligible to participate in the plan, an employee must be at least 21
years old, must have at least one year of service with the Company, and must
not be eligible to participate in a union-sponsored or co-sponsored qualified
retirement plan.


                                      5
<PAGE>   8


     Subject to certain limitations, participants in the plan are permitted
to make voluntary contributions to their accounts in the plan through payroll
deductions.  The Company makes matching contributions with respect to the
voluntary contributions made by plan participants.  Prior to April 1, 1997, the
Company made matching contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis with respect
to a participant's contributions on the first two percent of his or her
compensation.  The plan was amended effective April 1, 1997 to provide that the
Company will make matching contributions in the future in an amount equal to 50%
of a participant's contributions on the first five percent of his or her
compensation.

     The plan permits the Company to make discretionary profit sharing
contributions to the accounts of eligible participants in an amount determined
annually by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Company did not make
discretionary contributions to the plan during the fiscal years ended July 2,
1994 and July 1, 1995, during the Transition Period, or during the fiscal year
ended February 1, 1997.

     All voluntary contributions made by plan participants and all matching
contributions made by the Company are fully vested at all times.  Any
discretionary contributions made by the Company are vested after a plan
participant has completed five years of service with the Company or upon the
participant's death, disability or normal retirement.  A participant is
entitled to receive a distribution of his vested account in the plan 90 days
after the participant's termination of employment with the Company, including a
termination of employment as a result of retirement, disability or death.
Payments are made in the form of a lump sum or in installments paid over a
period of 15 years.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     Members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company
receive an annual retainer from the Company in the amount of $30,000.
Directors do not receive separate fees for attending meetings of the Board of
Directors or for serving on committees of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Bolton,
who is an employee of the Company, does not receive any additional compensation
for serving on the Board of Directors.

     On April 30, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the Bruno's, Inc.
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan").  The
Deferred Compensation Plan permits non-employee directors to defer all or any
part of the fees that they receive for serving on the Board of Directors.
Amounts deferred will be credited, at the election of the director, to an
unfunded cash account (the "Cash Account") or to an account under which the
director will receive compensation in the form of shares of the Company's
Common Stock (the "Stock Account").  Amounts credited to the Cash Account will
accrue interest based on the Company's average borrowing rate from time to
time.  Amounts credited to the Stock Account will be converted into the number
of shares of the Company's Common Stock which the amounts would have purchased
based on the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the
date the amounts otherwise would have been paid.  When an individual ceases to
be a director of the Company, all amounts credited under the Deferred
Compensation Plan are paid in one lump sum or in installments based on the
election 


                                      6
<PAGE>   9

made by the director.  Amounts credited to a director's Stock Account will be
paid, in the Company's sole discretion, in the form of shares of the Company's
Common Stock or in cash, with the amount of cash to be determined by multiplying
the number of shares in the Stock Account by the then fair market value of a
share of the Company's Common Stock.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

     The Company has entered into Employment Agreements with each of the
Executive Officers.  The Company also has entered into an Employment Agreement
with John Butler, who did not serve as an Executive Officer until his election
to the position of Senior Vice President - Operations of the Company on March
20, 1997.  For purposes of this discussion, all references to Executive
Officers shall be deemed to include Mr. Butler.

   
     The Employment Agreements provide that each Executive Officer is
entitled to receive a base salary, which may be increased in the reasonable
discretion of the Company, and an annual bonus with a target amount equal to or
not less than 50% of the Executive Officer's base salary and a maximum amount
equal to 100% of the Executive Officer's base salary.  The initial base
salaries specified in the Employment Agreements are $400,000 for Mr. Bolton,
$275,000 for Mr. Hagan, $225,000 for Mr. Clark, $240,000 for Mr. Grant,
$190,000 for Ms. Hayden, $200,000 for Mr. Heintzman, $175,000 for Ms. Kranc,
and $210,000 for Mr. Butler.  Mr. Clark's base salary was increased to $266,669
in connection with his election to the position of Executive Vice President -
Merchandising of the Company on January 29, 1997.
    

     The Employment Agreements provide that each of the Executive Officers
would be given the opportunity to purchase a specified number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock at a price of $12.00 per share and would be granted
options to purchase additional shares of the Company's Common Stock at an
exercise price of $12.00 per share.  Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, the
Company sold shares of the Company's Common Stock to the Executive Officers as
follows:  83,333 shares to Mr. Bolton, 25,000 shares to each of Mr. Hagan and
Mr. Grant, 20,833 shares to each of Mr. Clark, Mr. Heintzman, and Mr. Butler,
and 15,625 shares to each of Ms. Hayden and Ms. Kranc.  The Company also
granted to the Executive Officers the stock options described above in the
table entitled "OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR."

     The Employment Agreements also provided for the Company to pay relocation
expenses or allowances for the Executive Officers and to pay signing bonuses to
certain of the Executive Officers.  The relocation payments and signing bonuses
are reported above in the table entitled "SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE."

     The term of the Employment Agreement for Mr. Bolton will continue until
the earlier of August 31, 1998 or the termination of Mr. Bolton's employment
pursuant to his Employment Agreement.  The Company has the right to terminate
Mr. Bolton's employment at any time and for any reason.  If Mr. Bolton's
employment  is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Bolton for
"good reason," then Mr. Bolton will be entitled to receive a termination amount
payable in 18 monthly installments equal to the greater of (i) an amount 

                                      7
<PAGE>   10

equal to Mr. Bolton's base salary for 18 months at its then current monthly rate
plus 1.5 times the amount of Mr. Bolton's target bonus for the year in which the
termination occurs or (ii) the amount of the base salary plus  target bonus that
Mr. Bolton would have received for the remaining term of his Employment
Agreement.  Mr. Bolton also will be entitled to receive payment for accrued but
unused vacation days and to continued coverage for 18 months under any employee
medical, disability and life insurance plans in accordance with the terms of
such plans.  Mr. Bolton may terminate his employment for "good reason" in the
event of (i) a material breach by the Company of any provision of his Employment
Agreement, including a material reduction by the Company in Mr. Bolton's duties,
authority, support or responsibilities, (ii) a decision by the Company requiring
Mr. Bolton to perform his duties and responsibilities for the Company at a
location other than Birmingham, Alabama, or (iii) a reduction by the Company in
Mr. Bolton's base salary, other than a reduction that is part of a general
salary reduction program affecting at least 90% of the officers of the Company
and not exceeding 20% of Mr. Bolton's base salary.

     The term of the Employment Agreement for each Executive Officer (other
than Mr. Bolton) is three years, except that the Employment Agreement for Mr.
Hagan will continue until his employment is terminated either voluntarily or
involuntarily.  The Company has the right to terminate each Executive Officer's
employment at any time and for any reason.  If an Executive Officer's
employment is terminated by the Company without cause or if the Executive
Officer's employment is terminated by the Executive for "good reason," then the
Executive Officer (other than Mr. Bolton) is entitled to receive a severance
payment equal to his or her base salary for one year.  An Executive Officer
(other than Mr. Bolton) may terminate his or her employment for "good reason"
in the event of (i) a material breach by the Company of any provision of the
Employment Agreement, including a demotion by the Company in the Executive
Officer's position or the assignment to the Executive Officer of duties or
responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with the duties or
responsibilities contemplated by the Employment Agreement or (ii) a reduction
by the Company in the Executive Officer's base salary, other than a reduction
that is part of a general salary reduction program affecting senior executives
of the Company and that is not, on average, greater than the salary reduction
(as a percentage of base salary) of other senior executives of the Company.

     Mr. Heintzman resigned from his position as Senior Vice President -
Merchandising of the Company effective as of February 1, 1997.  The Company has
agreed that Mr. Heintzman will remain on the Company's payroll and will
continue to receive the same base salary and benefits that he was receiving
prior to February 1, 1997 until the first to occur of (i) February 1, 1998 or
(ii) his re-employment with another Company.  After the date of his
re-employment with another Company, Mr. Heintzman will no longer be entitled to
receive any benefits from the Company but he will continue to receive the
severance payments to which he is entitled under his Employment Agreement
through February 1, 1998.  In connection with Mr. Heintzman's resignation, the
Company repurchased 20,833 shares of the Company's Common Stock from Mr.
Heintzman at a price of $12.24 per share and made a payment to Mr. Heintzman of
$3,000 in connection with the cancellation and termination of the stock options

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
          AND MANAGEMENT.

OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY STOCK BY CERTAIN HOLDERS

     On August 18, 1995, Crimson Acquisition Corp. was merged into and with the
Company (the "Merger").  Since the date of the Merger, Crimson Associates, L.P.
and KKR Partners, II, L.P. (the "Partnerships") have owned 20,833,333 shares of
the Company's Common Stock.  The shares owned by the Partnerships represent
approximately 82.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 15,
1997.  The Partnerships also own warrants under which they have the right to
purchase an additional 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the "Warrants").  The Partnerships
were organized by KKR.

     The following table sets forth, as of the close of business on May 15,
1997, information as to those stockholders (other than executive officers and
directors of the Company) known to the Company to be the beneficial owners of
more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock:

KKR Associates, the shares which KKR Associates has the right to acquire upon
exercise of the Warrant are deemed to be outstanding, but the shares that the
Executive Officers and directors of the Company have the right to acquire
within the next 60 days pursuant to the exercise of stock options are not
deemed to be outstanding.
