                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.       The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Drug
         Emporium, Inc. and Subsidiaries.

         The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the
         opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the consolidated
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a
         consistent basis.  Certain amounts in prior period financial
         statements have been reclassified to conform with the current
         presentation.

2.       The Company's cost of sales is computed using the gross profit method.
         The gross profit percentage used is validated by physical inventories
         conducted twice a year primarily in the second and fourth quarters and
         the actual results of the LIFO calculations in the fourth quarter.

3.       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are
         presented in accordance with the requirements for Form 10-Q and
         consequently do not include all the disclosures normally required by
         generally accepted accounting principles.  Reference should be made to
         the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 26, 1994
         (File No. 0-16998) for additional disclosures including a summary of
         the Company's accounting policies, which have not significantly
         changed.

  Net sales increased 3.4% for the three months ended May 28, 1994 over the
comparable period in fiscal 1994 inclusive of an increase in comparable store
sales of 2.9%.  This increase is due to additional third-party pharmacy plans,
aggressive pharmacy pricing, customer loyalty, and an increased advertising
campaign, partially offset by store closings.

  The following table lists store openings and store closings for the first
quarter ended May 28, 1994 and the similar prior year period.

</TABLE>


  Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased slightly during the
quarter as compared to the similar prior year period.  The increased gross
margin is due to better buying management, sales mix, and selectively
strengthened product pricing, partially offset by reductions in the retail
price of the most competitive items, increased distribution costs, and
estimated shrink.

 Selling, administrative and occupancy expenses have remained constant as a
percentage of sales.

 Interest expense has remained constant as a percentage of sales in the quarter
but has increased over the similar period in the prior year.  The expense
increase resulted primarily from borrowings made to acquire a franchise on
December 3, 1993 and changes in interest rates.


Inventory Valuation

  The Company uses the LIFO method of accounting for its inventories.  Under
this method, the cost of merchandise sold reported in the financial statements
approximates current costs.

  The Company, in computing its LIFO charge throughout the fiscal year, uses an
estimated percentage rate of inflation.  This LIFO charge is adjusted at each
year-end based upon the actual weighted average percentage rate of inflation
during the fiscal year.

  The table below sets forth the LIFO charge for the first quarter ended May
28, 1994 and the similar prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company signed a new bank credit agreement (Agreement) on January 4,
1994.  The Agreement increased the available borrowings and replaced the
previous bank credit agreement that was due to expire August 31, 1996.

 The Agreement allows for a total credit facility of $45,000,000, depending on
available collateral, consisting of a revolving credit line (Revolver) of up to
$30,000,000 and $15,000,000 of term debt.  The Revolver expires on February 28,
1997, while the term debt is due in quarterly installments, as follows:
$500,000 during fiscal 1995, $750,000 during fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, and
$875,000 during fiscal 1998 and 1999.  The interest rate on the Revolver and
the term debt float at the bank's prime rate (Prime) and Prime plus 1/4%,
respectively.  The Agreement requires a commitment fee on the Revolver (.375%
on the first $20,000,000 and .25% on the last $10,000,000) and has no
compensating balance requirements.

 The Company believes that internally generated funds and borrowings available
under its Agreement are sufficient to finance the Company's current operations.
