                    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

                                  (Unaudited)


(A)   The condensed financial statements for the thirteen and
      twenty-six week periods ended January 1, 1994 and December 26,
      1992 are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all
      adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
      necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and
      results of operations for the periods presented have been
      included.  Results of operations for interim periods are not
      necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

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

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
condensed financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Results Of Operations

Sales:
_____

     Sales increased 9.70% for the thirteen-week period and 7.02% for
the twenty-six week period, compared with corresponding periods
last year.  Sales for stores open during the current and prior
year periods increased 4.38% for the thirteen-week period and
2.59% for the twenty-six week period.

     The increase in same store sales growth for both periods was the
result of increased promotional activities.  These activities
included featuring certain products at reduced retail prices,
implementing a dish program which promoted plates and completer
pieces, and introducing a line of soft drink products with
Delchamps as the brand name.  In addition, the Company has
continued its Double Coupon Program (under which the Company
doubles coupons that have a face value of up to sixty cents) and
its Cash Back For School Program (under which the Company makes
cash donations to schools equal to 1% of the total cash register
receipts collected by each school).

     At January 1, 1994, the Company operated 119 supermarkets and
eleven liquor stores  compared with 115 supermarkets and ten
liquor stores at December 26, 1992.  During the thirteen-week
period, the Company opened one liquor store and expanded one
supermarket.  During the twenty-six 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 26.10% to
24.54% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 25.52% to
25.16% for the twenty-six week period.  The decreases for both
periods were the result of markdowns related to the promotional
activities noted above.

Selling, General and Administration Expenses:
____________________________________________

     Selling, general and administration expenses as a percentage of
sales decreased from 23.32% to 22.79% for the thirteen-week
period and increased from 22.95% to 23.13% for the twenty-six
week period.  The decrease for the thirteen-week period was
because of increased sales volume which was up 9.70% as noted
above.  The increase for the twenty-six week period was because
of increased expenses related to the promotional activities noted
above.

Other Expense:
_____________

     Other expense decreased $330,000 and $602,000 for the thirteen
and twenty-six week periods, respectively.  The decreases result
form 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 37.18% to
34.75% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 36.78% to
35.90% for the twenty-six week period.  The effective rates
decreased for both periods because of lower pretax earnings
combined with 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
supersedes 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 $98.5 million is available for future use.
These credit lines expire at various times throughout fiscal year
1994, though the Company expects most to be renewed.
     
     Working capital increased form $49,511,000 at July 3, 1993 to
$54,920,000 as of January 1, 1994.  Additions to property and
equipment were $5,142,000 during the same period and consisted
primarily of purchases of store equipment.
