THE PEP BOYS - MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated balance sheet as of May 2, 1998, the consolidated statements
of earnings for the thirteen week periods ended May 2, 1998 and May 3, 1997
and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen
week periods ended May 2, 1998 and May 3, 1997 have been prepared by the
Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at May 2, 1998 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's January 31,
1998 annual report to shareholders.  The results of operations for the
thirteen week period ended May 2, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.


NOTE 2. Merchandise Inventories

Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out)
or market.  If the first-in, first-out method of valuing inventories had been
used by the Company, inventories would have been approximately $870,000
higher at both May 2, 1998 and January 31, 1998.


NOTE 3. Comprehensive Income

Effective February 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  This
statement establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive
income and its components in financial statements.  Accumulated other
comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets as of May 2, 1998 and
January 31, 1998 consists of a minimum pension liability adjustment.  There
were no differences between net earnings and comprehensive income for the
thirteen week periods ended May 2, 1998 and May 3, 1997.


Note 4.  Medium-Term Note Program

In February 1998, the Company established a Medium-Term Note program which
permits the Company to issue up to $200,000,000 of Medium-Term Notes.  Under
this program the Company has sold $100,000,000 principal amount of senior notes,
ranging in annual interest rates from 6.7% to 6.9% and due March 2004 and March
2006.  The net proceeds of $99,429,000 were used for working capital, the
repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Adjustments for convertible securities were antidilutive during the thirteen
week period ended May 2, 1998 and therefore excluded from the computation of
diluted EPS; however, these securities could potentially be dilutive in the
future.  Options to purchase 2,147,042 shares of common stock at various prices
ranging from $23.78 to $37.38 were outstanding at May 2, 1998, but were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices
were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 2, 1998 vs. Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total revenues for the first quarter increased 19.4% due to a higher store
count (709 at May 2, 1998 compared with 620 at May 3, 1997) coupled with
a 7.0% increase in comparable store revenues (revenues generated by stores in
operation during the same months of each period).  Comparable store
merchandise sales increased 5.4% while comparable service revenue increased
15.2%.

Gross profit from merchandise sales decreased, as a percentage of merchandise
sales, due primarily to significantly lower merchandise margins and an
increase in store occupancy costs offset, in part, by a decrease in warehousing
costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased substantially, as a
percentage of total revenues, due primarily to increases in store expenses and
media costs.

Interest expense increased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to
higher debt levels necessary to fund the Company's store expansion program and
related working capital requirements coupled with slightly higher interest
rates.


Net earnings decreased, as a percentage of total revenues, due primarily to a
significant decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, substantially higher selling, general and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, and an increase in interest
expense, as a percentage of total revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - May 2, 1998
- ----------------------------------------------

The Company's cash requirements arise principally from the need to finance
the acquisition, construction and equipping of new stores and to purchase
inventory. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company invested $52,541,000
in property and equipment while net inventory (net inventory includes the
decrease in inventory less the change in accounts payable) increased
$171,323,000.  Working capital increased from $151,340,000 at January 31, 1998
to $280,777,000 at May 2, 1998.  At May 2, 1998, the Company had
stockholders' equity of $830,801,000 and long-term debt of $798,171,000.  The
Company's long-term debt was 49% of its total capitalization at May 2, 1998
and 44% at January 31, 1998.

The Company plans to open approximately 34 new stores during the balance of
the current fiscal year.  Management estimates that the cost of this
expansion, coupled with expenditures in existing stores, warehouses and
offices will be approximately $132,000,000.  Funds required to finance the
store expansion including related inventory requirements are expected to come
primarily from operating activities with the remainder provided by unused
lines of credit which totaled $150,000,000 at May 2, 1998, or from accessing
traditional lending sources such as the public capital markets.

In February 1998, the Company established a Medium-Term Note program which
permits the Company to issue up to $200,000,000 of Medium-Term Notes.  Under
this program the Company has sold $100,000,000 principal amount of senior notes,
ranging in annual interest rates from 6.7% to 6.9% and due March 2004 and March
2006.  The net proceeds of $99,429,000 were used for working capital, the
repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THE YEAR 2000
- -------------------------------------

The Company recognizes that the arrival of the Year 2000 poses a challenge to
the ability of all systems to recognize the date change from December 31, 1999
to January 1, 2000 and, like other companies, has assessed and is modifying its
computer applications and business processes to provide for their continued
functionality.  An assessment of the readiness of external entities which it
interfaces with, such as vendors, suppliers, customers and others, is ongoing.

The Company expects that the principal costs involved will be those associated
with the remediation and testing of its computer applications.  This effort is
currently underway across the Company.  A large portion of these costs will be
met from existing resources through a reprioritization of technology development
initiatives, with the remainder representing incremental costs.  Management
estimates that these costs, which will be expensed as incurred, for the
remediation and testing of computer applications will range from approximately
$12,000,000 to $16,000,000 over the two year period from 1998 through the end
of 1999.

While the Company does not currently foresee any material problems, there can
be no guarantee that the Company and the external entities with which it
interfaces will be Year 2000 compliant by January 1, 2000 and that any such
non-compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

Certain statements made herein are forward looking and as a result involve
risk and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from expected
results due to factors beyond the control of the Company, including the strength
of the national and regional economies and consumers' ability to spend, the
health of various segments of the market that the Company serves - particularly
the do-it-yourself segment, the weather in geographical regions with a high
concentration of the Company's stores, competitive pricing, location and number
of competitors' stores, product costs, the ability to attract and retain
qualified personnel, the ability to acquire real estate, facilities and
equipment and the ability to complete the rollout of the commercial delivery
program and reduce inventory levels during 1998.  Further risk factors are
discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including its most recent Form 10-K, a copy of which may be obtained from the
Company without charge.
