INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Genovese Retirement and Savings Plan Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of The Genovese Retirement and
Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and
the related statements of changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of
the Plan as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The
supplemental schedules listed in the Table of Contents are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  These schedules
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our
audit of the basic 1992 financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                    


1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     Genovese Drug Stores, Inc. (the "Employer") provides a
     retirement and savings plan for substantially all of
     its employees.  The Plan is a defined contribution
     plan.  Employees have immediate vesting in their own
     contributions and the accumulated earnings thereon.
     Employer contributions and earnings thereon become 20
     percent vested to members who are credited with one
     year of service as defined by the Plan.  Vesting
     increases 20 percent for each of the next four years,
     with full vesting after five years of service.

     The Plan is available to all employee's who have
     attained age 21 and have completed one year of service. 
     The normal retirement date under the Plan is the
     Employer's year-end date following the member's sixty-
     fifth birthday.  Early retirements are permitted up to
     five years before the normal retirement date. 
     Retirement benefits are reduced to the amount vested at
     that time.

     The Employer's contribution is made on a monthly basis
     and is determined by the Company's management.  The
     contribution may consist of up to $.50 on each dollar
     that an employee contributes up to two percent of an
     employees annual earning, as defined.  The Company's
     contribution can be made in cash or, as of July 1, 1992
     the Company's common stock.


2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Investments are carried at fair value.  The increase in
     unrealized appreciation represents the changes in the
     quoted market value of the investments.

     Security transactions are recorded as of the trade
     date, realized gains and losses are based on average
     cost, and dividends are recorded when declared.

     Distributions to participants are made in cash or the
     Company's common stock at the discretion of the
     Employer in amounts equal to the fair market value on
     the date of distribution.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>
3.   PLAN TERMINATION POLICIES

     The Employer intends to continue the Plan indefinitely
     but reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan
     at its discretion.  If the Plan is terminated, the
     interests of the participants would become fully vested
     and nonforfeitable.


4.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(a)
     and to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code.  The Internal Revenue Service
     has issued a favorable determination letter dated
     October 12, 1993.


5.   INVESTMENTS

     Investments at December 31, 1992 consisted of
     $4,575,529 invested in the Connecticut General Life
     Insurance Company - Guaranteed Long Term Account and
     10,635 shares of the Employer's Class A common stock at
     December 31, 1992 with an aggregate cost of $93,515 and
     a fair market value of $109,011.  Investments at
     December 31, 1991 consisted of $2,803,506 invested in
     the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company -
     Guaranteed Long Term Account.


6.   ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

     Although not required under the terms of the Plan,
     personnel and facilities of the Employer have been used
     for its accounting and other activities at no charge to
     the Plan.  Certain administrative costs incurred in
     connection with investment transactions and other
     activities are paid by the Employer.
