                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

Note 1      Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of 
January 29, 1994, included herein, have been prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and 
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and rule 10-01.  The balance sheet at 
October 30, 1993 has been taken from the audited financial statements at that 
date.  In the opinion of the management of the Registrant, all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Registrant considers 
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period 
have been made.  Certain financial information and footnote disclosures 
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  
The reader is referred to the consolidated financial statements notes 
thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K ended 
October 30, 1993.

These results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire 
fiscal year.

Note 2      Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions

Effective October 31, 1993, the Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Ac-
counting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits other than Pensions."  The Registrant provides limited postretirement
medical benefits to certain individuals under deferred compensation 
agreements. The Registrant does not provide such benefits to most of its
non-union workforce and benefits related to its union employees are covered by 
collective bargaining agreements which require monthly contributions and which 
are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 106 requiring an accrual for 
such benefits.  SFAS No. 106 requires the Registrant to accrue the estimated 
cost of retiree benefit payments during the years the employee provides 
services.  The Registrant previously expensed the costs of such benefits.  
The Registrant recognized the cumulative effect of this liability on the 
immediate recognition basis.  The cumulative effects as of January 29, 1994 
of adopting SFAS No.106 were an increase in accrued post-retirement benefits
and a decrease in pre tax earnings of $146,000 ($.08 pershare), which has 
been included in the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal quarter
ended January 29, 1994.  The Registrant's liability for such post-retirement 
benefits are not funded.


The effect of SFAS No. 106 on earnings for the fiscal quarter ended 
January 29, 1994 was not material.

Note 3      Income Taxes

Income taxes have been provided at a rate of 40% of pre-tax income for both
periods.  In the fiscal quarter ended January 29, 1994, the Registrant adopted
statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.  "Accounting for
Income Taxes", effective October 31, 1993.

<PAGE>  
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on the Registrant's financial statements 
was immaterial as well as for fiscal quarter ended January 29, 1994.

The Registrant provided a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets
recorded as of October 30, 1993.  There was no charge in the valuation 
allowance for the fiscal quarter ended January 29, 1994.

              Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                     Condition and Results of Operations


Financial Condition and Liquidity

     As of January 29, 1994, the Registrant was not in compliance with 
several covenants under its credit agreements with its senior lenders.  
Due to the covenant violations, as of January 29, 1994, the Registrant has 
classified its debt to these lenders totaling $30.3 million as a current 
liability.  The Registrant has retained an independent financial advisor to 
assist in the preparation of a business plan which is anticipated to form the
basis for the negotiation of amended credit agreements with such lenders.

     The Registrant has made all required principal and interest payments 
under such credit agreements on a timely basis.  The Registrant anticipates 
that all future payments can be made, including principal payments of $2.5 
million on June 1, 1994 and $4.3 million on October 31, 1994, although no such
assurances can be given.  The Registrant is pursuing actions to increase 
operating cash flow through inventory and expense reductions and to provide
positive cash flow from investing activities through limitations on capital 
expenditures and the sale of certain operating and nonoperating assets.

     The ability of the Registrant to continue as a going concern is dependent
on its ability to successfully implement the plans and actions described 
above with regard to improving its cash flow.  Due to the uncertainties 
associated with these plans, there can be no assurances that the Registrant 
will achieve its goals nor is there any assurance that the Registrant will be 
able to negotiate amended credit agreements with its lenders.  The Registrant 
believes that such programs will be implemented successfully and that 
sufficient cash flow will be generated to meet its obligations they become 
due.  The Registrant continues to employ thosestrategies of the business plan 
as outlined in its fiscal 1993 Annual Report.

     Wakefern by-laws provide for a service fee at the rate of 1% per week on
the outstanding payable balance which, subject to certain conditions, 
Wakefern reduced retrospectively to one-quarter of 1% for the period 7/17/93 
to 3/26/94.  Fees at the rate of 1% per annum were reflected in the 
Registrant's fiscal year end financial statements, and were reflected at the 
reduced rate which aggregated approximately $167,000 in the quarter for the 
quarter ended January 29, 1994.

Working Capital:

     As a result of several covenant violations at January 29, 1994, 
$28.4 million of debt due to senior lenders has been classified as a current 
liability thereby creating a working capital deficiency of $30.6 million.

     At October 30, 1993, the working capital deficiency was $29.8 million 
compared to positive working capital of $14 million at January 30, 1993.

Cash flows (in millions) were as follows:

Receivables and other decreased as a result of the divestiture of
the New York division and faster collection of receivables for manufacturers 
coupons.

     The decrease in accrued expenses and other is primarily due to
the divestiture of the New York division on October 18, 1993 coupled with
a smaller accrual for interest and accelerated payments of worker's 
compensation premiums.

     The Registrant has no available lines of credit.

     No cash dividends have been paid since 1979, and the Registrant has no 
present intentions or ability to pay any dividends in the near future.


Results of Operations    (13 weeks ended 1/29/94 compared to 13
                         weeks ended 1/30/93)

Sales for the twenty one stores in operation for the current quarter totaled 
$157.5 million, including one World Class replacement store opened 9/23/93.  
Sales for the twenty six stores in operation in the prior period totaled 
$172.7 million of which $23.3 million represented sales of five New York 
stores sold 10/18/93.

     Gross profit on sales for the current period was 24.6%
compared to 25.0% in the prior year period.

     Operating expenses as a percent of sales were 23.7% compared
to 23.9% in the prior year period.

     Current period expenses include Wakefern service fees of $167,000 and 
the cumulative effect of postretirement benefits of $146,000.

Interest expense totaled $1,247,000 in the current period compared to 
$1,806,000 in the prior year period.  The decrease is attributable to the 
overall reduction of debt levels.  Of these amounts, $334,00 and $364,000, 
respectively, represent interest on capitalized leases.

Interest income was $11,000 and $49,000 for the respective periods.

Income taxes have been provided at a rate of 40% of pre-tax income for both 
periods.  In the fiscal quarter ended January  29, 1994, the Registrant 
adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109.  
"Accounting for Income Taxes".  The effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on 
the Registrant's financial statements was immaterial.

The Registrant provided a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets 
recorded as of October 31, 1993.  There was no change in the valuation 
allowance for the fiscal quarter ended January 29, 1994.

Net income of $40,00 or $.01 per share (after preferred stock dividend 
requirement of $34,000) was realized for the current quarter compared to 
$121,000 or $.11 per share in the prior year period.  No preferred stock 
dividend was required in the prior year period.  In each period 1,118,150 
shares were outstanding.  Despite the continued intense competition of the 
retail food industry and the lingering effects of the union strike in May 
1993, the Registrant was able to record modest earnings for the fiscal 
quarter ended January 29, 1994.
