Riser Foods, Inc. Initiates Quarterly Cash Dividend
Bedford Heights, Ohio (September 11, 1995) -- The Board
of Directors of Riser Foods, Inc., (AMEX:RSR) declared an
initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on all
the classes of the Company's common stock, payable on
October 10, 1995, to shareholders of record at the close

the first to be paid on the Company's common stock since

"The adoption of a regular quarterly cash dividend
reflects the Board's confidence in the future growth and
profitability of Riser Foods," stated Anthony C. Rego,
the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We
are following a strategic plan that has strengthened our
competitive position and resulted in improved financial
performance and cash flow. We are pleased to share this
improvement in the form of a cash return to investors in
our common stock."
Riser Foods operates 38 retail supermarkets in northeast
Ohio under the Rini-Rego Stop-N-Shop banner. In
addition, the Company's American Seaway Foods subsidiary
is a full-line wholesale distributor of food and health
and beauty care products. Through its Eagle Ice Cream
division, Riser also manufactures private-label ice cream
and distributes frozen novelties.
