            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. Due  to  the  seasonal  nature of the  Company's  business,  the
   results  for  the  three months and six  months  ended  July  1,
   1995  are  not  necessarily indicative of the  results  for  the
   entire 1995 fiscal year.

3. A  purported  class  action was filed  against  the  Company  on
   July  19,  1995  in the Federal District Court  for  the  Middle
   District  of  Florida,  Tampa Division,  Case  No.  95-1162-Civ-
   T   by   Melodee  Shores  and  seven  other  present  or  former
   employees  of  the  Company,  individually  and  on  behalf   of
   all  other  persons  similarly situated.   In  their  complaint,
   the   plaintiffs   allege   that  the   Company   has   and   is
   currently  engaged  in  a  policy and  pattern  or  practice  of
   gender-based   discriminatory  treatment  of  female   employees
   and    applicants    with    respect   to    job    assignments,
   promotional    opportunities,   management   positions,    equal
   pay,   full-time  status,  bonuses,  and  other   benefits   and
   conditions  of  employment, all in violation  of  Title  VII  of
   the  Federal  Civil  Rights Act, as well as  the  Florida  Human
   Rights  Act  of  1977  and  the  Florida  Civil  Rights  Act  of
   1992.    The   plaintiffs   seek,   among   other   relief,    a
   certification  of  the  suit  as  a  proper  class   action,   a
   declaratory   judgment   that  the   Company's   practices   are
   unlawful,    back   pay   and   other   compensatory    damages,
   exemplary   and   punitive  damages,   and   injunctive   relief
   against future improper conduct.

   The   Company  denies  the  allegations  of  the  complaint  and
   intends  to  vigorously  defend  the  action.   At  this   early
   stage,   the   likelihood   of  an  adverse   finding   of   the
   Company's  liability  and  an estimate  of  the  amount  of  any
   exposure for any such liability cannot be determined.

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 $282.9 million  in  the  six  months
ended  July  1, 1995, as compared with $206.8 million  in  the  six
months  ended  June  25, 1994.  Cash and cash  equivalents  totaled
$210.6 million as of July 1, 1995.

      Capital  expenditures  totaled  $125.4  million  in  the  six
months  ended  July  1,  1995.  These expenditures  were  primarily
incurred  in  connection with the opening  of  21  new  stores  and
the  remodeling  or  enlarging  of  nine  stores  which  added  1.1
million   square  feet.   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  25,
1994,   were  approximately  $193.4  million.   These  expenditures
were  primarily  incurred in connection  with  the  opening  of  25
new   stores  and  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.

      The  Company  has budgeted approximately $174.6  million  for
the   remainder   of   1995   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  July  1,  1995, 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 July 1, 1995.

      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  11.2%  in the second  quarter  of  1995  to
$2,250.3  million,  an  increase  of  $226.6  million  compared  to
the  same  quarter  in  1994.   This  represents  an  increase   of
$48.5  million  or  2.4%  additional sales from  stores  that  were
open   for   all   of   both  quarters  (comparable   stores)   and
additional  sales  of $178.1 million or 8.8% from  the  net  impact
of  46  stores  opened  and  five  stores  closed  since  June  25,
1994,  and  15  stores opened and two stores closed in  the  second
quarter  of  1994.   Other income increased  $.2  million  or  1.2%
in  the  second  quarter of 1995 as compared to  the  same  quarter
in 1994.

      Sales  increased  10.9%  in the  six  months  ended  July  1,
1995,  to  $4,644.9  million, an increase of  $456.6  million  over
the  six  months  ended June 25, 1994.  This reflects  an  increase
of  $108.9  million  or  2.6% in sales from comparable  stores  and
sales  of  $347.7  million  or 8.3%  from  the  net  impact  of  46
stores  opened  and  five stores closed since June  25,  1994,  and
25  stores  opened  and  three  stores  closed  in  the  first  six
months  of  1994.   Other revenue decreased $4.4  million  or  9.7%
in  the  first  six  months of 1995 as compared to  the  first  six
months   of   1994.    This  decrease  is   the   result   of   the
recognition  of  a  gain in 1994 on 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  76.6%  and 77.8% in  the  quarters  ended  July
1,  1995  and  June 25, 1994, respectively.  These  cost  of  sales
percentages  were  76.7% and 77.5% for the six  months  ended  July
1,  1995  and  June  25,  1994,  respectively.   The  decreases  in
cost  of  merchandise sold, as a percentage of sales,  are  due  to
buying and merchandising efficiencies.

      Operating  and  administrative expenses, as a  percentage  of
sales,   were  approximately  20.1%  and  19.2%  for  the  quarters
ended   July  1,  1995  and  June  25,  1994,  respectively.    The
operating   and   administrative  expenses,  as  a  percentage   of
sales,   were   19.6%   and  18.7%  in   the   six   months   ended
July  1,  1995  and June 25, 1994, respectively.   The  significant
components   of   operating   and   administrative   expenses   are
payroll costs, employee benefits and depreciation.
