ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


          On March 2, 1995, Olson's Food Stores, Inc. ("Olson's") was merged
with and into Quality Food Centers, Inc. ("QFC") pursuant to an Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of December 23, 1994 between QFC and Olson's, as
amended.  As consideration for the merger, QFC paid $18 million in cash, issued
752,941 shares of its common stock and assumed $24 million of long-term debt of
Olson's.  The merger consideration and other terms were determined through arms-
length negotiation.  QFC has refinanced the $24 million of long-term debt
assumed through a credit facility with Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association, as agent, and certain other financial institutions,
arranged by BA Securities, Inc.

          The principal assets acquired are 12 Olson's supermarkets (8 in
Snohomish County and 4 in King County, Washington), 3 additional supermarkets in
various stages of development, and rights to several other future sites in the
same market.

          In connection with the merger, QFC agreed to appoint Maurice F. Olson,
the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Olson's, to QFC's Board of
Directors and to make reasonable efforts to cause Mr. Olson to be elected to a
three-year term at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  Mr. Olson was so
elected at such meeting on April 25, 1995.  Also in connection with the merger,
Mr. Olson entered into a noncompetition agreement with QFC.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Olson's Food Stores, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities associated
with the business to be acquired (the Business) of Olson's Food Stores, Inc. as
of October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993, and the related statements of revenues
and expenses for each of the two years in the period then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Olson's Food
Stores, Inc.  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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the
assets and liabilities associated with the business to be acquired of Olson's
Food Stores, Inc. at October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993, and its revenues and
expenses for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                         of the Business to be Acquired
                          of Olson's Food Stores, Inc.

                                October 29, 1994


1.  PLAN OF MERGER

On December 23, 1994, Quality Food Centers, Inc. (QFC) and Olson's Food Stores,
Inc. (Olson's) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the Agreement),
whereby QFC would acquire the remaining assets and liabilities of Olson's Food
Stores, Inc. after Olson's disposed of certain assets and liabilities prior to
the merger.  As outlined in the Agreement, the assets and liabilities to be
acquired by QFC (the Business) include the following:

- - -    Nine stores operating under the name "Olson's" as of December 23, 1994
- - -    Four sites committed for development of stores in the future
- - -    Nine shares of Class A common stock of Associated Grocers, Inc. (A.G.)
- - -    Certain software and trademarks

Under the Agreement which closed on March 1, 1995, QFC assumed the indebtedness
of Olson's (not to exceed $24 million), paid the stockholders of Olson's $18
million in cash, and exchanged 752,941 common shares of QFC for all outstanding
Olson's stock.  A final adjustment will be made to the purchase price within 60
days of closing, dependent on certain asset and liability balances at March 1,
1995.

Historically, the Business had no separate legal status, as it was an integral
part of Olson's overall operations.  As a result, separate financial statements
of the Business were not previously prepared.  The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared from the historical accounting records of Olson's
and present the assets and liabilities associated with the Business to be
acquired and the revenues and expenses of the Business, including allocations of
certain common expenses (see Note 2).  Since the entity being sold is not a
separate reporting unit of Olson's, it was not practicable to present full
financial statements, including statements of cash flows.

2.  SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

OPERATIONS

Olson's is primarily engaged in the retail sale of food and grocery products
through leased stores located in neighborhood shopping malls in the Seattle and
Everett area.  The Company reports its operations on a 52/53-week basis, whereby
the year-end occurs on the Saturday closest to October 31.


                                                                             F-4

2.  SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Generally, the only assets and liabilities directly associated with the Business
were included in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities associated
with the business to be acquired.  However, since the Business was an integral
part of Olson's prior to being merged, certain of Olson's assets and liabilities
and expenses and revenues have been allocated to the Business in the
accompanying financial statements.  The allocations of assets and liabilities
were performed primarily by applying the percentage of activity associated with
the Business to the total business activity of Olson's.  The allocations of
expenses were performed primarily based on relative sales volume, relative
number of stores, and relative business activities.  Interest has been charged
to the Business on loans and debts specifically identified as pertaining to the
Business.  No interest expense has been allocated relative to the corporate debt
of Olson's.

Allocations of assets and liabilities and expenses to the Business are based on
various factors which the management of Olson's believes are reasonable.
However, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of actual activity had
the Business operated as a stand-alone business.  Further, if alternate methods
of allocation were used, significantly different results may be achieved.

INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATED GROCERS

Olson's is a member of the Associated Grocers, Inc. (A.G.) cooperative.  A.G. is
a wholesale food cooperative, which provides a variety of services to its
members.  As a member of A.G., Olson's receives various purchasing rebates and
an annual patronage dividend.  These purchase rebates and the patronage dividend
are recorded as reductions of costs of products sold when earned.  Also, the
Business has obtained financing from an A.G. affiliate.

INVENTORY VALUATION

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the
retail last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 90% of the inventory.
The remainder of the inventory cost is determined by using the first-in, first-
out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the related
assets.  Maintenance and


                                                                             F-5

2.  SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

repairs are charged to operations as incurred, and improvements are capitalized.
Noncapital expenditures incurred in opening new stores or remodeling existing
stores are expensed as incurred.

LEASEHOLD INTERESTS

Purchased leasehold interests have been capitalized and are amortized over the
respective lease terms using the straight-line method.  Accumulated amortization
was $289,000 and $240,000 at October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993,
respectively.

INCOME TAXES

Investment tax credits, when utilized, are applied as a reduction of the current
provision for federal income taxes using the flow-through method.

3.  INVENTORY

Information related to the FIFO method may be useful in comparing operating
results to those of companies which do not use the LIFO method.  If all
inventories had been valued at current cost, inventory would have been
$1,080,000 and $939,000 greater at October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993,
respectively.

During the year ended October 30, 1993, certain inventory quantities were
reduced.  This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities
carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years, as compared with the costs of
fiscal year 1993 purchases.  The effect of this liquidation was to increase 1993
net income by approximately $29,000.

5.  FINANCING (CONTINUED)

This debt is classified as long-term because scheduled maturities on October 29,

1995 in connection with the consummation of the agreement.

6.  LEASES

The Business leases land and buildings related to its retail operations.

7.  INCOME TAXES

Olson's files a federal income tax return which includes the operations of the
Business.  Olson's has significant net operating loss carryforwards which are
available to offset taxable income.  Therefore, no income taxes are provided in
the accompanying financial statements.   No deferred taxes are provided as
Olson's has net deferred tax assets which are offset by a reserve against those
assets.

The following pro forma analysis excludes the effect of utilizing the net
operating losses of Olson's which will be part of the Business merged.  If
federal income taxes were computed assuming the Business filed a separate
federal income tax return, the effect on net income would be as follows.

7.  INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

At October 29, 1994, for federal income tax purposes, Olson's had net operating
losses, general business credits, and alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards of $10,500,000, $200,000, and $950,000, respectively.  The net
operating loss carryforwards expire from 2004 through 2009.  The general
business credits expire through 2001.  The utilization of the general business
credits and net operating loss carryforwards are limited by provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code.

8.  EMPLOYER BENEFIT PLANS

Olson's has a profit-sharing plan which covers all employees except those
included in any Collective Bargaining Agreement.  The contributions to the plan
are made from the annual net profits of Olson's and are determined at the
discretion of the Board of Directors.  No separate allocation of contributions
were made to the Business.  Total amounts contributed to the plan were
approximately $142,000 for the year ended October 30, 1993.  There were no
contributions for the year ended October 29, 1994.

Employees included in Collective Bargaining Agreements are covered by defined
benefit, multi-employer pension plans.  Olson's incurred expense for these plans
totaling $404,000 and $505,000 for the years ended October 29, 1994 and October
30, 1993, respectively.


                                                                            F-10

    The   following  pro  forma  financial  information  sets  forth  historical
information which  has  been  adjusted to  reflect the Olson's merger. Pro forma
statement of  income information  assumes the Olson's merger took place at the
beginning  of the period  presented.  Pro forma  condensed balance sheet
information  assumes the  Olson's merger took  place on the date presented. See
Notes to Pro Forma  Condensed Financial  Information herein (the "Notes"). The
pro  forma information  is based on certain  assumptions and estimates  and
therefore  does  not purport  to be indicative of (a) the results which actually
would have  been attained had the Olson's merger occurred at the date indicated
or (b) the results which  may be attained in the future. The pro forma financial
information should be read in  conjunction  with  the Notes, which are  an
integral part  of  the  pro forma financial information, and the audited
financial  statements  and related notes set forth  and incorporated  by

                 NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(1)  Represents the October 29, 1994 balance sheet of Olson's adjusted to
     reflect the nine Olson's stores which the Company acquired on March 2,
     1995. (See note (7) below).

(2)  To give effect to the use of $18,000,000 to complete the Olson's merger
     and the resulting reduction in interest income for the periods presented.

(3)  To adjust for the excess of the Olson's purchase price over tangible net
     assets acquired based upon the 60,070,000 purchase price and the historic
     balance sheet presented. (See note (7) below).

(4)  To give effect to the assumption of $24,000,000 of long term debt assumed
     in connection with the Olson's merger.

(5)  To give effect to 752,941 Shares issued by the Company in connection with
     the Olson's merger at a value of $24.00 per share (closing bid price on the
     date the merger was consumated) and the elimination of Olson's existing
     shareholders' equity.

(6)  Represents results of operations for the 52 weeks ended October 29, 1994
     of nine Olson's stores acquired by the Company which were operated during
     that period. The amounts are based upon certain assumptions and estimates
     that were required in order to separate the nine stores to be acquired by
     the Company from the historic financial statements which included other
     stores and other operations of Olson's. The combined pro forma results do
     not reflect any benefits from economies which might be achieved from the
     combined operations, and do not necessarily represent results which would
     have occurred if the entities had constituted a single entity during such
     period and may not be indicative of future results. No adjustment has been
     made to reflect the fact that the Company will be acquiring 12 stores
     instead of the lower number included in these pro forma statements. (See
     note (7) below). Interest expense incurred by Olson's on a historic basis
     has been excluded and a pro forma income tax provision has been computed
     assuming a 35% effective rate.

(7)  Represents the net adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense to
     reflect the $60,070,000 price paid by the Company in connection with the
     Olson's merger, which is estimated to be approximately $35,000,000 in
     excess of the fair value of the tangible net assets to be acquired at
     closing and will be allocated to leasehold interest, a non-competition
     agreement and goodwill.  The price paid by the Company includes the
     purchase of 12 stores from Olson's of which nine were operated by Olson's
     as of October 29, 1994.  The remaining stores were opened or acquired by
     Olson's subsequent to the balance sheet date. The net adjustment to
     depreciation and amortization expense, therefore, has not been computed
     based on the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible
     net assets acquired shown in the December 31, 1994 pro forma condensed
     balance sheet.

                                      P-4
<PAGE>

(8)  To record interest expense on the $24,000,000 of long-term debt to be
     assumed in connection with the Olson's merger at an assumed rate of 8% per
     annum. The 8% is based upon LIBOR plus 125 basis points plus the
     amortization of debt issuance costs and other bank fees related to a credit
     facility the Company has entered into. Actual interest expense will
     increase or decrease periodically as LIBOR changes.

(9)  Reflects adjustment for income taxes on pro forma adjustments, taking into
     account the nondeductibility of amortization related to the Olson's merger
     of approximately $900,000 per annum and tax-free interest income earned on
     cash balances during 1994.

(10) To give effect to estimated deferred income taxes arising from the Olson's
     merger. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary
     differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
     financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
     Further, as part of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to remit the
     benefits, if any, of Olson's net operating loss carryforwards and certain
     other tax credit carryforwards to the former shareholders of Olson's when
     utilized.  Accordingly, no recognition has been given to these carryforward
     items.
