(A)  Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the results of operations, account balances and cash
flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  All
material intercompany balances have been eliminated.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the
results of operations of the Company for the periods presented.
The statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  It is suggested that
these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying
notes included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report.

     The Balance Sheet at July 2, 1994 has been taken from the
audited financial statements at that date.

(B)  Restructuring Plan
     ------------------

     For the third quarter ending April 1, 1995, the Company
recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge in the amount of $15
million.  The restructuring charge relates primarily to closed
stores that the Company has been unable to sell or sublease in
whole or in part and includes costs for the writedown of store
assets, the unrealizable portion of the present value of
remaining rent payments, and other costs associated with store
closings.  The restructuring charge is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses on the Income Statements.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales:
- -----

     Sales decreased 3.60% for the thirteen-week period and 2.97%
for the thirty-nine week period, compared with corresponding
periods last year.  Sales for stores open during the current and
prior year periods decreased 6.32% for the thirteen-week period
and 5.76% for the thirty-nine week period.
     The decrease in sales for both periods was primarily the
result of heavy competitive activity which included competitors
opening new supermarkets and expanding existing supermarkets.
Sales were also negatively impacted by the timing of the Easter
holiday which will occur in the fourth quarter of the current
year and occurred in the third quarter of the prior year.
     In an effort to improve sales trends, the Company
implemented a business plan titled "Strategy 2000."  This
business plan includes price reductions on thousands of items, an
increase from forty-nine cents to fifty cents in the Company's
double coupon program (under which coupons that have a face value
up to fifty cents are doubled), and a new advertising campaign to
communicate these changes.  Implementation of this business plan
began in the later part of the Company's third quarter.  For the
plan to be successful, sales volume will have to increase
substantially to offset the reduced margins resulting from the
price reductions.  Such volume increases, if achieved at all, are
not likely to be achieved with the fourth quarter of the current
fiscal year.  Accordingly, the Company does not expect fourth
quarter results to be profitable.
     At April 1, 1995, the Company operated 118 supermarkets and
twelve liquor stores compared with 119 supermarkets and eleven
liquor stores at April 2, 1994.  During the thirty-nine week
period, the Company purchased seven supermarkets from the Kroger
Co., opened two supermarkets, closed nine supermarkets, sold two
supermarkets to the Kroger Co., and remodeled and expanded four
supermarkets.

Gross Profit:
- ------------

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased from 25.55%
to 23.85% for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 25.29%
to 24.50% for the thirty-nine week period.  The decreases for
both periods were the result of inventory markdowns related to
the price reductions for the "Strategy 2000" business plan,
increased inventory markdowns related to the Company's bonus buy
promotional program (under which certain products are featured at
reduced retail prices), and increased levels of inventory
shrinkage.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
- --------------------------------------------

     Selling, general and administrative ("S G & A") expenses as
a percentage of sales increased from 23.12% to 31.09% for the
thirteen-week period and increased from 23.13% to 26.25% for the
thirty-nine week period.  The increases for both periods were the
result of lower sales in the current periods combined with a
restructuring charge in the amount of $15.0 million in the
current periods.  The restructuring charge relates primarily to
closed stores that could not be subleased in whole or in part.  S
G & A increased $18.2 million for the thirteen-week period and
increased $18.9 million for the thirty-nine week period,



including the $15.0 million restructuring charge.  The remaining
increases for both periods resulted from increases in the
Company's wages, rent expense, and depreciation expense.

Other Expense:
- -------------

     Other expense increased $235,000 and $572,000 for the
thirteen and thirty-nine week periods, respectively.  The
increases resulted from increased interest expense, which was
higher in the current year because of higher interest rates and
increased levels of short-term indebtedness.
                               
Income Taxes:
- ------------

     The effective rate for income taxes decreased from 34.28% to
(41.04%) for the thirteen-week period and decreased from 35.29%
to (42.26%) for the thirty-nine week period.  The effective rates
in the current periods represent income tax benefits which
resulted from the loss in earnings before taxes.  The effective
rates were below the statutory rate because of targeted jobs tax
credits.

Other:
- -----

     On April 14, 1995, Randy Delchamps resigned as Chairman,
Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company in order to
pursue other business interests.  David W. Morrow, a director of
the Company, has been elected Chairman of the Board.  Mr. Morrow
has over 40 years of experience in the supermarket industry.
Most recently, he served as Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Pueblo International, Inc.  Pueblo is
comparable in size to Delchamps and has supermarkets operating in
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida.  Mr. Morrow's
grocery career includes 28 years of service with Albertson's,
where he rose from stock clerk to President and Chief Executive
Officer .  In 1977, Mr. Morrow became President and Chief
Operating Officer of The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company.
Mr. Morrow will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of
Delchamps on an interim basis while the Board of Directors
searches for a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer.


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 $65.0 million in credit lines from financial
institutions of which $36.2 million is available for future use.
These credit lines expire at various times throughout fiscal
years 1995 and 1996, though the Company expects most to be
renewed.
     Working capital decreased form $54,926,000 at July 2, 1994
to $31,345,000 as of April 1, 1995.  Additions to property and
equipment were $32,405,000 during the same period and consisted
primarily of purchases of store equipment.
