Note 1.  Interim financial statements

The accompanying financial statements of Retail Equity Partners Limited
Partnership (the Partnership) have not been audited by independent
accountants, except for the balance sheet at December 31, 1994.  In the
opinion of the Partnership's management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for the periods presented
have been included.

Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from
the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.  Therefore, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results for the first two quarters of 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of future financial results.

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

Overview

Retail Equity Partners Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") is a
North Carolina limited partnership formed to acquire, hold, operate and
manage three neighborhood shopping centers.  In October, 1991 the
ownership of one of the shopping centers was transferred to a newly
formed partnership, New Market Square Limited Partnership ("NMSLP").
The Partnership is the sole general partner and holds a 99.99 percent
interest in NMSLP.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q and with the Partnership's audited financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Partnership's 1994 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

Results of Operations

Revenues.  Rental revenue totaled $401,000 in second quarter and
$796,000 through six months of 1995, decreasing 18 percent from the same
periods in 1994, attributable primarily to vacancy of anchor tenant
space at New Market Square shopping center ("NMS") since August, 1994.
(On August 1, 1994 Rose's Stores, Inc. renounced its lease as part of
its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and vacated its space at NMS.)  1995
interest and other income includes $82,049 proceeds of the sale of a
claim against Rose's in March, 1995.

At June 30, 1995 Plaza West was 100 percent leased, Cape Henry Plaza was
94 percent leased, and NMS was 55 percent leased, compared to 97
percent, 100 percent, and 100 percent, respectively at June 30, 1994.

Expenses.  Property operations expense totaled $43,000 in second
quarter, 1995 (decreased $12,000 from second quarter, 1994); however, is
consistent with prior year through six months, reflecting the timing of
grounds maintenance costs.  General and administrative costs have
increased significantly ($47,000 compared to $26,000 through six months)
due to legal fees associated with the Rose's lease.  Decreases in
property tax and insurance expense of approximately 10 percent for the
quarter and six month periods compared to 1994 reflect lower provisions
based on prior years' experience.  Property management fees (based on
cash receipts) have decreased approximately 12 percent as a direct
result of decreased revenue.  Depreciation and amortization are
consistent with prior year for the quarter and six month periods.
Decreases in interest expense for the quarter and year to date reflect
the effect of amortization of principal amounts of mortgages on the
Partnership's three shopping centers.

Summary results of operations.  The Partnership experienced net losses
of $96,000 and $145,000 for second quarter and the first six months of
1995, respectively, compared to losses of $41,000 and $71,000 for the
same periods in 1994.  Depreciation and amortization of approximately
$210,000 through six months in both years are significant non-cash
expenses which have a significant impact on reported results.  The
decline in operating results in 1995 compared to 1994 is generally
attributable to vacancy at NMS, offset in part by proceeds of a claim
against a former tenant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership has long term financing on all three shopping centers.
These first mortgage loans all mature in 1998 and require monthly
principal reduction.  The Partnership made principal payments of
$104,000 and $155,000 during the second quarter and six months year to
date in 1995, including payment made in June, 1995 to bring the NMS loan
current.  At June 30, 1995 the Partnership is current on its obligations
under first mortgage loans for all shopping centers.

If not for the Rose's bankruptcy and resulting vacancy at NMS since
August, 1994, the Partnership would be operating reasonably well.  Two
of the shopping centers continue to generate positive cash flow from
operations.

<PAGE>

Following the Rose's departure, the NMSLP has not generated sufficient
cash flow to pay the full payments required under its loan for NMS.  The
lender and the Partnership entered into a forbearance agreement under
which NMSLP remitted to the lender net cash flow after payment of
operating expenses monthly.  In June, 1995 the forbearance agreement was
terminated and the NMS loan was brought current by using substantially
all of the Partnership's cash reserves.  Boddie Investment Company, the
general partner, is currently advancing the partnership sufficient funds
to cover any operating deficits.

On July 19, 1995 the Partnership entered a lease agreement with
Winn-Dixie Stores whereby Winn-Dixie will vacate its current location at
NMS (35,000 square feet) and move to the Rose's space at NMS (54,000
square feet).  Management is in final negotiations with several possible
tenants to occupy the space being vacated by Winn-Dixie.  If a
replacement tenant cannot be found, the revenue loss associated with the
vacant space would result in substantial negative cash flow and would
bring into question NMSLP's ability to continue in business without
restructuring its mortgage obligations.

The Partnership made no capital expenditures or distributions during the
first six months of 1995.  Future distributions have been suspended
until property operations allow.

The leases held by the Partnership are generally long-term, with
substantially all increases in operating expenses, taxes and insurance
passed through to and paid by tenants.  Additionally, most leases
include built-in rent increases based on changes in the consumer price
index or percentage rents based on total sales.

The Partnership has retained Lat Purser and Associates to explore the
possible sale of New Market Square Shopping Center.  Lat Purser has
begun discussions with several possible buyers, but to date no agreement
has been reached as to the terms of a possible sale.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Reference is hereby made to the discussion of legal proceedings
with respect to the NMS Rose's vacancy and disposition thereof
during first quarter, 1995, in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 1995.


Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

The Partnership is a the sole general partner and holds a 99.99
percent interest in NMSLP, which owns NMS.  NMS is held subject
to a first mortgage deed of trust held by Mutual Benefit Life.
The mortgage has an original principal amount of $6,400,000,
carried an interest rate of 8.25 percent through May, 1995, and 9
percent effective June 1, 1995 through maturity in June, 1998,
and has required monthly payments of $58,000 including principal
and interest.

In view of Rose's renunciation of its lease and subsequent
failure to pay its required lease payments (see Liquidity and
Capital Resources discussion above), NMSLP requested from its
lender certain relief from the required monthly payments.  The
lender agreed to accept payments equal to operating cash flow of
NMS pending attempts by NMSLP to locate a replacement tenant or
to restructure its debt.  NMSLP made such "cash flow payments"
through May, 1995.  In June, 1995 the forbearance agreement was
terminated and the NMS loan was brought current.

The NMS mortgage is secured solely by the NMS shopping center and
is not guaranteed by the Partnership.  In the event a replacement
tenant cannot be found or the loan cannot be modified, the
lender, at its election, may begin foreclosure proceedings.  The
foreclosure of NMS shopping center would not affect the
Partnership's remaining two centers.
