        Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial
               Condition And Results Of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales:
- - -----
     Sales increased 7.56% for the thirteen-week period
and 7.19% for the thirty-nine week period, compared with
corresponding periods last year.  Sales for stores open during
the current and prior year periods increased 3.94% for the
thirteen-weeek period and 3.08% for the thirty-nine week period.
     The increase in same store sales growth for both periods was
primarily the result of increased promotional activities.  These
activities included featuring certain products at reduced retail
prices and introducing a line of soft drink products with
Delchamps as the brand name.  Same store sales were also
favorably impacted by the timing of the Easter holiday.
     At April 2, 1994, the Company operated 119 supermarkets and
eleven liquor stores compared with 116 supermarkets and ten
liquor stores at March 27, 1993.  During the thirty-nine week
period, the Company opened one supermarket, expanded three
supermarkets, and opened one liquor store.

Gross Profit:
- - ------------
     Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 26.00%
to 25.55% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 25.68%
to 25.29% for the thirty-nine week period.  The decreases for
both periods were the result of markdowns related to the
promotional activities noted above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
- - --------------------------------------------
     Selling, general and administrative ("S G & A") expenses as
a percentage of sales were relatively unchanged for the thirteen-
week and thirty-nine week periods.  S G & A as a percentage of
sales decreased from 23.23% to 23.13% for the thirteen-week
period and increased from 23.05% to 23.13% for the thirty-nine
week period.

Other Expense:
- - -------------
     Other expense decreased $302,000 and $904,000 for the
thirteen and thirty-nine week periods, respectively.  The
decreases result from lower interest expense which was caused by
the Company refinancing a significant portion of long-term debt,
lower levels of indebtedness, and a decline in interest rates.

Income Taxes:
- - ------------
     The effective rate for income taxes decreased from 35.83%  
to 34.28% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 36.45% 
to 35.29% for the thirty-nine week period.  The effective rates 
decreased for both periods because of greater levels of targeted 
jobs tax credits.  The effective rates were below the statutory
rate because of targeted jobs tax credits.

Other:
- - -----
     During the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the
Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109").  SFAS
No. 109 superseded SFAS No. 96 and requires that deferred taxes
be recorded using the liability method and restricts the
conditions under which a deferred tax asset may be recorded.  The
cumulative effect on the financial statements of adopting SFAS
No. 109 was to increase net earnings $900,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company leases its store locations, but makes
substantial expenditures to equip new and expanded supermarkets.
In addition, the Company makes substantial expenditures for
distribution facilities and equipment.  The Company plans to
finance its capital expenditures with funds provided by
operations.  However, if an insufficient amount of funds are
generated, the Company may draw on short-term credit lines.  The
Company has $105.0 million in credit lines from financial
institutions of which $96.0 million is available for future use.
These credit lines expire at various times throughout fiscal
years 1994 and 1995, though the Company expects most to be
renewed.
     Working capital increased from $49,511,000 at July 3, 1993
to $54,352,000 as of April 2, 1994.  Additions to property and
equipment were $12,494,000 during the same period and consisted
primarily of purchases of store equipment.
