                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
     include all adjustments deemed necessary to fairly reflect the financial
     position, results of operations and changes in cash flows of the Company
     for the interim periods presented.

2.   In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments
     in Debt and Equity Securities.  The Company adopted the provisions of the
     new Standard for investments held as of, or acquired after, the beginning
     of fiscal 1994.  The cumulative effect of adopting the Standard as of the
     beginning of fiscal 1994 is not material.  In accordance with the
     Standard, prior period financial statements have not been restated to
     reflect the change in accounting principle.

     Securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale:  Management determines
     the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase
     and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.  Debt
     securities are classified as held- to-maturity when the Company has the
     positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
     Held-to-maturity securities are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization
     of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  This amortization and
     accretion is included in other income.

     Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity
     securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale
     securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and
     losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of stockholders'
     equity.  The cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for
     amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  This
     amortization and accretion is included in other income.  Realized gains
     and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on
     available-for-sale securities are included in other income.  The cost of
     securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

     Following is a summary of available-for-sale securities and
     held-to-maturity securities as of June 25, 1994:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Operating activities continue to be the Company's primary source of
liquidity.  Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $206.8
million in the six months ended June 25, 1994, as compared with $242.7 million
in the six months ended June 26, 1993.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled
$119.2 million as of June 25, 1994.

     Capital expenditures totaled $193.4 million in the six months ended June
25, 1994.  These expenditures were primarily incurred in connection with the
opening of 25 new stores and the remodeling or enlarging of 11 stores which
added 1.3 million square feet.  Construction was completed on a new general
merchandise warehouse in Lakeland, Florida and significant expenditures were
incurred in the continued construction of a new distribution center in
Lawrenceville, Georgia.  In addition, the Company closed three stores.  Capital
expenditures in the six months ended June 26, 1993, were approximately $129.7
million.  These expenditures were primarily incurred in connection with the
opening of 12 new stores and remodeling or enlarging of various existing
stores.  Also, significant expenditures were incurred in expanding the
warehouse facilities in Deerfield Beach, Florida and purchasing land for the
Atlanta Distribution Center.  In addition, the Company closed two stores.

     The Company has budgeted approximately $206.6 million for the remainder of
1994 for new store construction, the remodeling or expanding of several
existing stores and the expansion and construction of distribution facilities.
The capital budget is subject to continuing change and review.  The remaining
capital expenditures are expected to be financed by internally generated funds
and current liquid assets.

     As of June 25, 1994, the Company has committed lines of credit for $100.0
million and one uncommitted line of credit for $25.0 million.  These lines are
reviewed annually by the banks.  The interest rate for these lines is at or
below the prime rate.  No amounts were outstanding as of June 25, 1994.

     Cash generated in excess of the amount needed for current operations and
capital expenditures is invested in short-term and long-term investments.
Management believes the Company's liquidity will continue to be strong.

Operating Results
     Sales increased 12.7% in the second quarter of 1994 to $2,023.7 million,
an increase of $228.8 million compared to the same quarter in 1993.  This
represents an increase of $86.5 million or 4.8% in additional sales from stores
that were open for all of both quarters (comparable stores) and additional
sales of $142.3 million or 7.9% from the net impact of 42 stores opened and
three stores closed since June 26, 1993, and four stores opened and two stores
closed in the second quarter of 1993.  Other income increased $.3 million or
1.9% in the second quarter of 1994 as compared to the same quarter in 1993.

     Sales increased 12.1% in the six months ended June 25, 1994, to $4,188.3
million, an increase of $451.1 million over the six months ended June 26, 1993.
This reflects an increase of $186.4 million or 5.0% in sales from comparable
stores and sales of $264.7 million or 7.1% from the net impact of 42 stores
opened and three stores closed since June 26, 1993, and 12 stores opened and
four stores closed in the first six months of 1993.  Other revenue increased
$5.9 million or 14.9% in the first six months of 1994 as compared to the first
six months of 1993.  This increase is primarily the result of the recognition
of a $5.9 million gain in the settlement of claims for business interruption
losses and property losses related to the extensive damage caused by Hurricane
Andrew.

     Cost of merchandise sold including store occupancy, warehousing and
delivery expenses, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 77.8% in the
quarters ended June 25, 1994 and June 26, 1993.  These cost of sales
percentages were 77.5% and 78.0% for the six months ended June 25, 1994 and
June 26, 1993, respectively.  During the six months ended June 25, 1994, the
decrease in cost of merchandise sold is due to buying and merchandising
efficiencies.

     Operating and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were
approximately 19.2% and 19.3% for the quarters ended June 25, 1994 and June 26,
1993, respectively.  The operating and administrative expenses, as a percentage
of sales, were 18.7% and 18.6% in the six months ended June 26, 1994 and June
26, 1993, respectively.  The significant components of operating and
administrative expenses are payroll costs, employee benefits and depreciation.

New Accounting Standard
     The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, in the first quarter of
1994.  This Standard requires the reporting of certain securities at fair value
except for those securities which the Company has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity.

     The Company adopted the provisions of the new Standard for investments
held as of, or acquired after, the beginning of fiscal 1994.  The cumulative
effect of adopting the Standard as of the beginning of fiscal 1994 is not
material.  In accordance with the Standard, prior period financial statements
have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting principle.
