                       PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

     The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be
read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and the financial
statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus.  References in this Prospectus to the "Company" mean Kash n'
Karry Food Stores, Inc., references to "Common Stock" mean the 3,100,000
shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share, issued on
December 29, 1994 in connection with the Restructuring (as herein defined). 
All financial information set forth herein is presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), unless otherwise noted.  

                           The Company

     The Company is the third largest food retailer in west central Florida,
operating 92 multi-department supermarkets, five conventional supermarkets
and 33 liquor stores under the "Kash n' Karry" name and two super warehouse
stores under the "Save 'n Pack" name, all supported by a centrally-located
warehouse and distribution facility.  More than one-half of the Company's
stores are located in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, which is Florida's
largest retail food sales market, with the balance located between
Gainesville, approximately 130 miles to the north, and Bonita Springs,
approximately 150 miles to the south.  The west central Florida area has a
diverse and growing economy, which includes high technology and financial
centers, an insurance industry presence, retirement communities, coastal
resorts and commercial agricultural activity.  The region's population is
estimated to be increasing at an annual rate of approximately 2%.

     The Company currently operates two distinct store concepts:

     .    a large, full-service multi-department supermarket under the Kash
          n' Karry name, which is designed to operate profitably at lower
          sales levels than certain competitors; and

     .    a super warehouse store under the Save 'n Pack name designed to
          serve trade areas with low household income.

     The Company has developed, and continues to implement, the following
marketing and operating strategies to promote growth in revenues and
operating cash flow: 

     Marketing Strategy.  The Company emphasizes competitive prices on
everyday items, strong weekly features, high quality perishables and a broad
assortment of both national and corporate brands.  The Company's food stores
are open seven days a week, with most operating 24 hours a day.  The Company
seeks to be either first or second among its competitors in

                                    3<PAGE>
assortment of branded merchandise, stocking over 29,000 SKU's (stock keeping
units) of national brand and corporate brand items.  In addition to a full
range of grocery and general merchandise items, most of the Company's
multi-department supermarkets also feature expanded perishable goods
departments, delicatessens and in-store bakeries, and many contain pharmacies
and full-service seafood, full-service floral and video rental departments.

     In 1992, the Company introduced its own corporate brand merchandise. 
The Company's corporate brand strategy is to offer a product comparable in
quality to the best-selling national brand at a lower price.  The Kash n'
Karry brand item generally sells for approximately 10% less than the
competing best-selling national brand but generates a higher per unit gross
profit contribution to the Company.  Over 1,100 SKU's in a wide variety of
product categories carry the Kash n' Karry brand name.

     Operations Strategy.  The Company believes that up-to-date,
strategically located facilities, well-trained associates and information
management systems are key elements to the Company's future success.  The
Company operates a modern, 687,000 square foot warehouse, distribution and
office facility in Tampa with sufficient capacity to service anticipated
store expansion for the foreseeable future.  The warehouse enables the
Company to reduce costs by purchasing in large quantities, taking advantage
of special promotional prices offered by vendors and purchasing prior to
impending price increases, and reducing delivery costs through cross docking
and backhauls.  The central location of the warehouse facility to its stores
also provides the Company with operating efficiencies.

     The Company relies on information technology to enhance operating
efficiency.  The Company recently entered into an agreement to outsource its
information systems development in order to minimize costs, accelerate the
implementation period for systems improvements, facilitate future software
upgrades, reduce personnel issues and eliminate equipment lease costs. 
Specifically, the agreement provides for the acquisition of new procurement,
billing, labor scheduling and accounts payable systems and new point-of-sale
equipment in the stores within the next 18 months.

     The Company also devotes significant resources to personnel training,
utilizes labor scheduling programs to allocate manpower based on anticipated
sales levels, and employs a variety of strategies to minimize inventory
losses.  None of the Company's associates is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement.

     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 6422
Harney Road, Tampa, Florida  33610, and its telephone number is (813)
621-0200.

                               The Restructuring

     The Company was formed in connection with a leveraged acquisition in
1988.  Although the Company consistently generated stable operating cash
flows through its 1993 fiscal year, it experienced net losses for each of the
last five fiscal years and the 22-week period ended January 1, 1995 due
primarily to its highly leveraged position.

     On November 9, 1994, the Company filed with the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") a "prepackaged"
plan of reorganization (the "Prepackaged Plan") pursuant to Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The Prepackaged Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court on December 12, 1994.  Under the terms of the Prepackaged Plan, the
Company effected a comprehensive financial restructuring (the
"Restructuring").  Among other things, the Company restructured its senior
debt, converted its subordinated debt into an 85% equity interest in the
Company, and received $10.0 million in cash from Green Equity Investors, L.P.
("GEI") for the remaining 15% equity interest of the Company.  The Company
emerged from bankruptcy on December 29, 1994.  For further information with
respect to the Prepackaged Plan and the Restructuring, see "The
Restructuring," "Capitalization" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."


                    Investment Considerations

     The shares offered hereby involve a high degree of risk and should not
be purchased by anyone who cannot afford the loss of their entire investment. 
See "Investment Considerations."

                          Summary Financial Data

     The following table presents summary financial information of the
Company as of and for each of the fiscal years ended on the Sunday nearest to
July 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, and as of and for the periods ended January 29,
1995, January 1, 1995 and January 30, 1994, and should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere
in this Prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."  

     The financial statements as of and for the periods ended January 29,
1995, January 1, 1995 and January 30, 1994, from which the summary financial
data has been derived, have not been audited by independent accountants in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but, in the opinion of
management, the financial statements as of and for the period ended January
30, 1994 include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position
and results of operations.  As discussed herein, the Company's Prepackaged
Plan was consummated on December 29, 1994 (the "Effective Date").  The
financial statements as of and for the periods ended January 29, 1995 and
January 1, 1995 reflect the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 and were
prepared utilizing the principles of fresh-start reporting contained in the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position
90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy
Code." Operations during the period from the Effective Date through January
1, 1995 had no significant impact on the emergence transactions and as a
result have not been separately identified.  As a result of the
implementation of fresh-start accounting, certain of the summary financial
data as of and for the periods ended January 29, 1995 and January 1, 1995 is
not comparable to the summary financial data of prior periods due to the
change in reporting entity resulting from the application of fresh-start
accounting.  Therefore, summary financial data for the "Reorganized Company"
has been separately identified from that of the "Predecessor Company." 
Results for the periods ended January 29, 1995 or January 1, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.  

     The summary store data have been derived from the Company's management
reporting records.

                 Notes to Summary Financial Data
                  (Dollar Amounts In Thousands)

(1)  Includes amortization of deferred financing costs of $182, $1,152 and
     $1,549 for the four weeks ended January 29, 1995, 22 weeks ended January
     1, 1995, and 26 weeks ended January 30, 1994, respectively; and $2,950,
     $2,850, and $2,932 for the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years,
     respectively.

(2)  Based on 3,100,00 shares (the weighted average number of shares of
     Common Stock outstanding).

(3)  Net income per share of Common Stock is not meaningful prior to January
     1, 1995 due to the significant change in the capital structure in
     connection with the Restructuring. 

(4)  The Company's fiscal year is based on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on
     the Sunday nearest to July 31.  Therefore, the 1992 fiscal year included
     53 weeks of operations.  The 1994 and 1993 fiscal years each had 52
     weeks of operations.

(5)  Total long-term debt includes long-term debt, current maturities of
     long-term debt, capital lease obligations and certain other debt.

(6)  Represents earnings before net interest expense (which includes
     amortization of deferred financing costs), provision for income taxes,
     depreciation and amortization, store closing and other costs,
     reorganization items, extraordinary items, and cumulative effect of
     change in accounting principle.  Operating cash flow (EBITDA) is
     presented here as a measure of the Company's debt service ability, and
     should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as
     determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles)
     or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined on the
     Statements of Cash Flows in the Company's financial statements).

(7)  Capital expenditures consist of cash expenditures, additions to capital
     leases and, for the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years, amounts funded
     under the capital improvements revolving credit facility under the Old
     Credit Agreement (as defined in "The Restructuring").

(8)  Data relating to the number of stores is expressed in actual numbers.

(9)  Represents the average of the selling square footage of the Company's
     stores on the first and last day of the respective periods.  Selling
     square footage includes adjacent liquor stores, where applicable, but
     does not include backroom and receiving areas.

(10) Represents, for each of the respective periods, sales for such period
     divided by the sum of the number of weeks for which each of the
     Company's stores was open during such period.

                    INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

     An investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby involves a
high degree of risk.  Prospective investors should carefully consider the
following matters, in addition to the other information set forth in this
Prospectus, in connection with an investment in the Common Stock offered
hereby.


History of Net Losses; Reorganization 

     The Company experienced net losses for each of the last five fiscal
years.  The Company's statements of operations reflect a net loss of
approximately $37.9 million for the 1994 fiscal year, $11.9 million for the
1993 fiscal year, $7.3 million for the 1992 fiscal year, $39.0 million for
the 1991 fiscal year, and $25.6 million for the 1990 fiscal year.  See
"Selected Financial Information" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

     On November 9, 1994, the Company sought relief pursuant to a
"prepackaged" plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code to reduce its debt service requirements and overall level of
indebtedness, to realign its capital structure and to provide the Company
with greater liquidity.  See "The Restructuring."  There can be no assurance
that the Company will operate profitably in its reorganized form. 

Tax Considerations

     As a result of the Restructuring (as defined in "The Restructuring"), an
ownership change within the meaning of Code section 382(g) occurred with
respect to the Company on December 29, 1994 (the "Change Date"). 
Accordingly, the Company's ability to carry forward all of the net operating
losses (and "recognized built-in losses," if any), to taxable years beginning
after the Change Date within the meaning of Code section 382(j) (and a
portion of the taxable year which includes the Change Date) will become
subject to an annual limitation under Code sections 382 and 383.

     The Company intends to determine the annual limitation under the
provisions of Code section 382(l)(6), which deals with a loss corporation
that exchanges stock for debt and undergoes an ownership change in a
proceeding under Chapter 11.  The amount of income that may be offset by the
net operating loss carryovers should generally be limited to an amount
(subject to a proration rule for the taxable year that includes the Effective
Date) equal to the product of (i) the value of the stock of the Company,
determined immediately prior to the Restructuring but increased to take into
account the effect on such value of the issuance of Common Stock to the
holders of Old Subordinated Debentures (as defined in "The Restructuring")
and (ii) the long-term tax-exempt rate, within the meaning of Code section
382(f).  This annual limitation will be increased by "recognized built-in
gain," if any.  The 
                                    10<PAGE>
Annual limitation on the Company's ability to carry forward its net operating
losses (and "reorganized built-in losses," if any) may be substantial.


Highly Leveraged Position

     Even after the Restructuring, the Company remains highly leveraged.  As
of January 29, 1995, the Company had total long-term indebtedness (including
current maturities) of $240.2 million, including $144.1 million of aggregate
principal amount of New Senior Floating Rate Notes and New Senior Fixed Rate
Notes (as defined in "The Restructuring") (collectively, the "New Notes"),
which mature on February 1, 2003, $47.0 million of term loan and revolving
loan indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement (as defined in "The
Restructuring"), $33.6 million of indebtedness under mortgages maturing
between 1999 and 2003, and $15.6 million of capital lease and other
obligations.  Under the indentures governing the New Notes, the Company has
the option of paying interest in kind on the New Senior Floating Rate Notes
through August 1, 1995, and on the New Senior Fixed Rate Notes through
February 1, 1996.  The Company expects to exercise the payment-in-kind
option, which will increase the principal amount of the New Notes outstanding
by $16.9 million through February 1, 1996 (assuming a 9.0% annual interest
rate on the New Senior Floating Rate Notes and 11.5% on the New Senior Fixed
Rate Notes).  If future cash provided by operations is less than currently
expected, the Company may experience difficulty in meeting interest and
principal payments due on outstanding indebtedness and other obligations. 
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations."

     The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have important
consequences to holders of Common Stock of the Company, including the
following: (i) the Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the
future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general
corporate purposes or other purposes may be impaired; (ii) a substantial
portion of the Company's cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the
payment of the principal of and interest on its existing indebtedness, which
materially decreases the funds available to the Company to finance its
working capital, capital expenditures and business operations generally;
(iii) certain of the Company's borrowings are at variable rates of interest,
which, in the absence of interest rate hedging arrangements, make the Company
vulnerable to increases in interest rates; (iv) the Company's indentures and
New Credit Agreement impose significant financial and operating restrictions
which, if violated, could permit the Company's creditors to accelerate
payments thereunder (see "Investment Considerations -- Restrictions Imposed
Under Indebtedness"); (v) the Company is more highly leveraged than its
principal competitors, which may place the Company at a competitive
disadvantage (see "Competition" below); and (vi) the Company's high degree of
leverage may make it vulnerable to economic downturns and may limit its
ability to withstand competitive pressures and adverse changes in government
regulation and to capitalize on significant business opportunities.
                                    11<PAGE>
Restrictions Imposed Under Indebtedness

     The New Credit Agreement (as defined in "The Restructuring") and the
indentures governing the New Notes contain numerous limitations, including
restrictions on the ability of the Company to (i) incur additional
indebtedness, (ii) place liens on assets, (iii) sell assets, (iv) engage in
mergers or consolidations, (v) pay dividends and (vi) engage in certain
transactions with affiliates.  The New Credit Agreement also requires the
Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants.  These
limitations and requirements may restrict the ability of the Company to
obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes.

     The ability of the Company to comply with the covenants in its debt
agreements will be dependent on its future financial performance, which will
be subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, including
factors beyond the control of the Company.  Failure to comply with any of
these covenants could result in a default or event of default under the
relevant debt agreements, permitting lenders to accelerate the maturity of
the indebtedness under such agreements and to foreclose upon any collateral
securing such indebtedness.  Any such failure to comply or any default, event
of default or acceleration under any particular indebtedness could also
result in the acceleration of other debt of the Company under agreements that
contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions.


Fresh-Start Reporting Presentation

     The Company's Prepackaged Plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court on December 12, 1994, and consummated on December 29, 1994.  In
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants'
Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code," the Company adopted "fresh-start
reporting."  Accordingly, financial statements for periods subsequent to
December 29, 1994 have been prepared on a basis not comparable to prior
periods.  The application and impact of "fresh-start reporting" is set forth
in greater detail in the notes to the Company's financial statements, which
are included in this Prospectus.  See "Capitalization," "Selected Financial
Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," and the Company's financial statements, including the
notes thereto.


Competition

     The food retailing business is highly competitive.  The Company competes
with several national, regional and local supermarket chains, particularly
Publix, Winn-Dixie, Albertson's and Food Lion.  The Company is also in
competition with convenience stores, stores owned and operated or otherwise
affiliated with large food wholesalers, unaffiliated independent food stores,
merchandise clubs, discount drugstore chains and discount general merchandise
chains and supercenters.  
                                    12<PAGE>
     The Company's principal competitors have greater financial resources
than the Company and could use those resources to take steps which could
adversely affect the Company's competitive position and financial
performance.  For example, operating results generally and sales growth in
particular were adversely affected by approximately 84 competitive
supermarket openings during the 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991 fiscal years by
both established competitors and new entrants in the Company's market area. 
In fiscal 1995, the Company expects approximately 12 such competitive store
openings, and it is anticipated that these competitive store openings will
continue in the future.

     Another example of the highly competitive nature of the food retailing
business is the practice of competitors to reposition their pricing
structure.  Over the past several years, each of the Company's major
competitors has changed its pricing practices in a manner that has adversely
affected general retail pricing in the market.  Winn-Dixie discontinued
double coupons and introduced its every day low price program in the spring
of 1991.  In the spring of 1993, Publix began a campaign focused on
"surprisingly low prices," and Food Lion began a double coupon program which
has since been discontinued.  The Company has had to deal with each of these
changes in a manner that has, in some instances, adversely affected its
operating results and may continue to do so in the future.

     In addition, the Company's ability to compete may be adversely affected
by its high leverage and the limitations imposed by its debt agreements.  

Anti-Takeover Provisions

     The Company has adopted a preferred stock purchase rights plan (the
"Rights Plan").  See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Anti-Takeover
and Charter Provisions."  The Rights Plan is designed to assure that all
stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of any proposed
takeover of the Company.  The Rights Plan could discourage certain potential
acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of the
Company in certain circumstances.  The Rights Plan could diminish the
opportunities for a stockholder to participate in tender offers, including
tender offers at a price above the then current market value of the Common
Stock, or proxy contests, and may also inhibit fluctuations in the market
price of the Common Stock that could result from takeover attempts.  In
addition, the Board of Directors, without further stockholder approval, may
issue Preferred Stock with such terms as the Board of Directors may
determine, and which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of the Company.  The issuance of such Preferred Stock could also
adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock.  See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock."  The Company is also
afforded the protections of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, which could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or could
impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination
involving the Company or discourage a potential acquiror from making a tender
offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.  See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Anti-takeover and Charter
Provisions."
                                 13<PAGE>
Restrictions on Dividends

     The Company presently does not intend to pay dividends or make other
distributions with respect to the Common Stock for the foreseeable future. 
In addition, the New Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the New
Notes contain limitations on the ability of the Company to pay dividends. 
See "Market Price and Dividend Policy" and "Description of Capital Stock."


Limited Public Market

     On March 2, 1995 the Common Stock was listed for trading on the Nasdaq
Small Cap Market under the symbol "KASH."  Prior to such date, there was no
established public trading market for its Common Stock.  There is no
assurance that an active trading market in the Common Stock will continue. 
Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the price at which any holder
may sell his Common Stock or whether a liquid market in the Common Stock will
exist at the time of any given sale.


                           THE COMPANY


     The Company is a Delaware corporation, formed as a vehicle for the
October 1988 leveraged acquisition of 121 food and 25 liquor stores in two
separate transactions from Lucky Stores, Inc., a subsidiary of American
Stores Company, and Superx Drugs Corporation, a subsidiary of The Kroger Co. 
The Company's original equity capitalization was provided by The Fulcrum III
Limited Partnership and The Second Fulcrum III Limited Partnership
(collectively, the "Fulcrum Partnerships") (the Fulcrum Partnerships are
investment funds managed by Gibbons, Goodwin, van Amerongen, L.P. ("GGvA")
(formerly known as Gibbons, Green, van Amerongen, L.P.)), certain affiliates
of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. and members of management.  In November 1991,
Green Equity Investors, L.P. ("GEI"), an investment fund managed by Leonard
Green & Partners, L.P., invested $27.7 million in cash in exchange for an
equity interest in the Company.  At the same time, the Fulcrum Partnerships
invested an additional $2.3 million and exchanged certain preferred stock of
the Company for common stock of the Company.  After the November 1991 equity
infusion, and until the Restructuring was consummated, GEI owned
approximately 60.9%, and the Fulcrum III Partnerships owned approximately
33.8%, of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 6422
Harney Road, Tampa, Florida 33610, and its telephone number is (813)
621-0200.  The Company's symbol for trading on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market is
"KASH."

                        THE RESTRUCTURING

     On November 9, 1994 (the "Petition Date") the Company filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court")
a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code and a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization (the "Prepackaged Plan"). 
During the pendency of the bankruptcy case, the Company, with the approval of
the Bankruptcy Court, operated its business in the ordinary course, and paid
all pre-petition and post-petition claims of its general unsecured creditors,
trade creditors and employees in full.  The Prepackaged Plan was confirmed by
the Bankruptcy Court on December 12, 1994, and the Company emerged from
bankruptcy on December 29, 1994 (the "Effective Date").  

     Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, on the Effective Date:

     (1)  Each $1,000 principal amount of the Company's $85.0 million Senior
Floating Rate Notes due August 2, 1996 (the "Old Senior Floating Rate Notes")

                                    15<PAGE>
     Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company is required within four
months after the Effective Date, or such longer time as may be required to
prepare the necessary financial statements, to take the necessary steps to
register the newly-issued shares of Common Stock in a "shelf registration,"
to be effective for a period of three years, pursuant to the appropriate
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Registration
Statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, has been filed to satisfy that
requirement.

     Also pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company refinanced its
principal bank indebtedness on the Effective Date by entering into a new
Credit Agreement with The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as administrative
agent for itself and certain other lenders (the "New Credit Agreement").  The
New Credit Agreement provides the Company with a 3-year $35.0 million term
loan facility and a 3-year $50.0 million revolving credit facility, and is
secured by liens upon substantially all of the Company's real and personal
property.  As a result of such refinancing, the obligations of the Company
under the Credit Agreement dated October 12, 1988, as restated on September
14, 1989, and thereafter amended, with Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association (as successor by merger to Security Pacific National
Bank), as administrative agent, and certain other senior lenders (the "Old
Credit Agreement"), were satisfied, and the Old Credit Agreement was
terminated.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Financial Condition."


                MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND POLICY


     On March 2, 1995 the Common Stock was listed for trading on the Nasdaq
Small Cap Market under the symbol "KASH."  Prior to such date, there was no
established public trading market for its Common Stock.  For the period of
March 2, 1995 through April 26, 1995, the range of high and low bids for a
single share of Common Stock was $20 - $18.25, as quoted in the Nasdaq Small
Cap Market.  As of April 26, 1995, the average of the low bid and high ask
prices as quoted on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market was $19.25.  Such
over-the-market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual
transactions.

     As of April 26, 1995, there were approximately 21 holders of record of
shares of Common Stock.

     The Company has not in the past paid cash dividends to its stockholders
and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  The
Company's ability to declare cash dividends on its Common Stock is materially
limited by prohibitions or restrictions in the New Credit Agreement and the
indentures governing the New Senior Fixed Rate Notes and the New Senior
Floating Rate Notes.  See "Description of Capital Stock."

                 SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following table presents selected financial information of the
Company as of and for each of the fiscal years ended on the Sunday nearest to
July 31, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990 and as of and for the periods ended
January 29, 1995, January 1, 1995 and January 30, 1994, and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."  

     The financial statements as of and for the periods ended January 29,
1995, January 1, 1995 and January 30, 1994 from which the selected financial
information has been derived, have not been audited by independent
accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but, in
the opinion of management, the financial statements as of and for the period
ended January 30, 1994 include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial
position and results of operations.  As discussed herein, the Company's
Prepackaged Plan was consummated on December 29, 1994 (the "Effective Date"). 
The financial statements as of and for the periods ended January 29, 1995 and
January 1, 1995 reflect the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 and were
prepared utilizing the principles of fresh-start reporting contained in the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position
90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy
Code."  Operations during the period from the Effective Date through January
1, 1995 had no significant impact on the emergence transactions and as a
result have not been separately identified.  As a result of the
implementation of fresh-start accounting, certain of the selected financial
data as of and for the periods ended January 29, 1995 and January 1, 1995 is
not comparable to the selected financial data of prior periods due to the
change in reporting entity resulting from the application of fresh-start
accounting.  Therefore, selected financial data for the "Reorganized Company"
has been separately identified from that of the "Predecessor Company." 
Results for the periods ended January 29, 1995 or January 1, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     The selected store data have been derived from the Company's management
reporting records.

                  (Dollar Amounts in Thousands)

(1)  Includes amortization of deferred financing costs of $182, $1,152 and
     $1,549 for the four weeks ended January 29, 1995, 22 weeks ended January
     1, 1995, and 26 weeks ended January 30, 1994, respectively; and $2,950,
     $2,850, $2,932, $3,017 and $6,346 for the 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991 and 1990
     fiscal years, respectively.  

(2)  Based on 3,100,00 shares (the weighted average number of shares of Common
     Stock outstanding).

(3)  Net income per share of Common Stock is not meaningful prior to January 1,
     1995 due to the significant change in the capital structure in connection
     with the Restructuring.

(4)  The Company's fiscal year is based on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on
     the Sunday nearest to July 31.  Therefore, the 1992 fiscal year included
     53 weeks of operations.  The 1994, 1993, 1991 and 1990 fiscal years each
     had 52 weeks of operations.

(5)  Total long-term debt includes long-term debt, current maturities of
     long-term debt, capital lease obligations and certain other debt.

(6)  Represents earnings before net interest expense (which includes
     amortization of deferred financing costs), provision for income taxes,
     depreciation and amortization, store closing and other costs,
     reorganization items, extraordinary items, and cumulative effect of change
     in accounting principle.  Operating cash flow (EBITDA) is presented here
     as a measure of the Company's debt service ability, and should not be
     construed as an alternative to operating income (as determined in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) or to cash flows
     from operating activities (as determined on the Statements of Cash Flows
     in the Company's financial statements).  

(7)  Capital expenditures consist of cash expenditures, additions to capital
     leases and, for the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years, amounts funded under
     the capital improvements revolving credit facility under the Old Credit
     Agreement (as defined in "The Restructuring").

(8)  Data relating to the number of stores is expressed in actual numbers.

(9)  Represents the average of the selling square footage of the Company's
     stores on the first and last day of the respective periods.  Selling
     square footage includes adjacent liquor stores where applicable but does
     not include backroom and receiving areas.

(10) Represents, for each of the respective periods, sales for such period
     divided by the sum of the number of weeks for which each of the Company's
     stores was open during such period.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     This analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. 
The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to
July 31.  The fiscal year ended August 2, 1992 included 53 weeks of
operations.  Historical results of operations are given for the Company's
fiscal years ended July 31, 1994, August 1, 1993 and August 2, 1992
(respectively, the "1994, 1993 and 1992 Fiscal Years"), the four weeks ended
January 29, 1995 and the 22 weeks ended January 1, 1995 (combined, the "1995
Six-Month Period"), and the 26 weeks ended January 30, 1994 (the "1994
Six-Month Period").  On November 9, 1994, the Company filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; on
December 12, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's "prepackaged"
plan of reorganization.  The Prepackaged Plan became effective on December
29, 1994, when the Company emerged from bankruptcy.  The financial statements
as of and for the periods ended January 29, 1995 and January 1, 1995 reflect
the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings and were prepared
utilizing the principles of fresh-start reporting contained in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7,
"Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code"
(the "SOP 90-7").  Operations during the three-day period from the Effective
Date through January 1, 1995 had no significant impact on the emergence
transactions and as a result have not been separately identified.  

     The Company acquired substantially all of its assets in October 1988. 
The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and the assets were recorded
at fair market value based on independent appraisals, resulting in an
increase in the carrying value of the assets of approximately $215.4 million. 
The write-up was allocated to property and equipment ($22.6 million),
favorable lease interests ($26.2 million), depreciable intangible assets
($53.6 million), and excess of cost over net assets acquired ($113.0
million).  As a result, the Company has since incurred a significant amount
of noncash charges.  In addition, during the first quarter of 1994, the
Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $11.0 million, which reflects
expenses associated with a program of closing 12 underperforming stores,
reducing administrative staff, and expensing costs associated with
unsuccessful financing activities.  The financial statements as of and for
the periods ending January 29, 1995 and January 1, 1995 are not comparable to
the financial statements of prior periods due to the change in reporting
entity resulting from the application of fresh-start accounting.  For the
reasons outlined above, the Company believes that the most relevant measure
of its operating results is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization, store closing and other costs, reorganization items,
extraordinary items, and the cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle (operating cash flow):

              Results of Operations of the Company

     The discussion below compares the results of operations for the 1995
Six-Month Period with the 1994 Six-Month Period.  Except as specifically
acknowledged below, management believes that the impact of the Restructuring
and the implementation of fresh-start reporting did not significantly affect
the results of operations for the 1995 Six-Month Period, and that the
operating results of the individual four-week period and 22-week period ended
January 29, 1995 and January 1, 1995, respectively, are indicative of the
results of operations for the 26-week period ended January 29, 1995.

     Operating cash flow for the 1995 Six-Month Period was $22.2 million
compared to $18.8 million for the 1994 Six-Month Period.  The increase in
operating cash flow was attributable to the factors indicated below.

Average sales per store week (in thousands). $199          $190

     The Company closed 17 stores and opened two new stores over the last
year as part of an overall strategic consolidation of its store network.  The
Company was able to mitigate the sales impact of these store closings by
transferring a portion of the sales of the closed stores to operating stores;
therefore, there was not a substantial adverse impact on the Company's
operating cash flow.  In addition, sales have been positively impacted as a
result of a recently-initiated store remodelling program and aggressive sales
promotional activities.


                                    23<PAGE>
 Gross Profit

     The Company had gross profit of $103.3 million, or 20.1% as a percentage
of sales, for the 1995 Six-Month Period; and gross profit of $108.9 million,
or 20.4% of sales, for the 1994 Six-Month Period.  The decrease in gross
margin as a percentage of sales was due to the effect of lower investment in
forward buy inventory and receipt of less promotional funds, offset by
improved perishable margins and increased efficiency in warehouse and
distribution operations.


  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     The Company had selling, general and administrative expenses of $81.0
million, or 15.8% as a percentage of sales, for the 1995 Six-Month Period and
$90.1 million, or 16.9% as a percentage of sales, for the 1994 Six-Month
Period.  The reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses was
due to lower store labor costs, reduced corporate overhead expenses and lower
advertising expenditures associated with a comprehensive operational
restructuring of the Company initiated during the year; and reduced operating
costs associated with stores that were closed during the last 12 months. 
These improvements were partially offset by an increase in workers'
compensation insurance reserves.


  Depreciation and Amortization

     The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses were $12.2 million
for the 1995 Six-Month Period compared to $12.1 million for the 1994
Six-Month Period.  The increase is primarily attributable to new stores and
major remodels, partially offset by the retirement of assets of stores
closed.


  Store Closing and Other Costs

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded a
non-recurring charge of $11.0 million.  This charge included $1.9 million of
costs associated with unsuccessful financing activities, $4.2 million of
favorable lease interests written off in connection with the closing of 12
underperforming stores, $4.0 million representing an adjustment to the
expected lease liability on closed stores, net of sublease income, and $.9
million of other store closing and related expenses.


  Interest Expense

     Interest expense for the 1994 Six-Month Period was primarily comprised
of interest under the Old Credit Agreement, the Old Senior Floating Rate
Notes, the Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes, the Old Subordinated Debentures, and
various mortgages and capital leases.  For the 

                                    24<PAGE>
1995 Six-Month Period, interest expense was reported on the Old Senior
Floating Rate Notes, the Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes, and the Old
Subordinated Debentures through the Petition Date; and interest expense was
reported on the New Senior Floating Rate Notes and the New Senior Fixed Rate
Notes from the Effective Date through January 29, 1995.  In accordance with
the Prepackaged Plan, no interest was due to the holders of the Old Senior
Floating Rate Notes, Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes, or Old Subordinated
Debentures for the period between the Petition Date and the Effective Date,
and therefore no interest expense allocable to such instruments was recorded
for this period.  As provided in the Prepackaged Plan, interest accrued from
and including February 2, 1994, in the case of the Old Senior Fixed Rate
Notes, and from and including February 3, 1994, in the case of the Old Senior
Floating Rate Notes, through the Petition Date, was paid by issuing
additional New Senior Floating Rate Notes and New Senior Fixed Rate Notes. 
Interest on the Old Subordinated Debentures accrued from and including
February 2, 1994 through the Petition Date was converted into stockholders'
equity.


  Reorganization Costs

      In accordance with SOP 90-7, income and costs directly related to the
reorganization have been segregated and are separately disclosed.  The major
components are restructuring costs, adjustments to fair value, professional
fees and other expenses.


  Gain on Debt Discharge

     The gain on debt discharge reflects the conversion of $105.0 million of
Old Subordinated Debentures, plus accrued interest from and including
February 2, 1994 through the Petition Date, into $39.5 million of
stockholders' equity, resulting in a $70.2 million gain.  The gain is
presented net of write-offs and costs associated with the repayment of
borrowings on the Effective Date.


                     1994, 1993 and 1992 Fiscal Years

      During the three year period ended July 31, 1994, the Company opened
seven new food stores, acquired one food store and three super warehouse food
stores (operating under the "Save 'n Pack" name), and completed major
expansion remodels on three existing food stores.  However, sales growth was
constrained primarily by the opening of 54 competitive supermarkets and the
closing of 24 of the Company's stores during this three year period.  The
Company experienced a net loss in each of the 1994, 1993 and 1992 Fiscal
Years primarily due to depreciation and amortization resulting from, and
interest costs associated with, financing the 1988 acquisition of the Kash n'
Karry and Superx stores.

     The following table sets forth certain items from the Company's
Statements of Operations as a percentage of sales for the periods indicated:

     The Company generated operating cash flow of $42.6 million for the 52
weeks ended July 31, 1994, compared to operating cash flow of $54.8 million
for the 52 weeks ended August 1, 1993 and $57.7 million for the 53 weeks
ended August 2, 1992.

     The Company maintained a relatively stable level of sales during the
three year period. Sales were positively impacted by opening and acquiring
new stores, expanding and upgrading existing stores and increasing
promotional activities and advertising expenditures.  However, sales were
adversely affected by a weak economy, price deflation in certain commodities,
ongoing competitive new store and remodel activity, pricing and promotional
changes by certain competitors, and the closing of 24 of the Company's
stores.  Store closings adversely impacted sales, but did not cause a
substantial adverse impact on the Company's operating cash flow. 




                                    26<PAGE>
  Gross Profit

     Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 20.6% in the 1994 Fiscal Year,
21.2% in the 1993 Fiscal Year, and 20.8% in the 1992 Fiscal Year.  The
decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales from the 1993 Fiscal Year
to the 1994 Fiscal Year was attributable to the impact of eliminating
investment in forward buy inventory (estimated to be approximately 57 basis
points), receipt of fewer promotional funds, and generally lower retail
prices, partially offset by improved perishable margins and efficiencies in
product preparation and handling.  The improvement from the 1992 Fiscal Year
to the 1993 Fiscal Year was primarily attributable to the receipt of more
promotional funds and increased efficiencies in product acquisition and
warehousing and distribution operations, partially offset by low inflation
and the competitive factors mentioned above.


  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses of the Company, as a
percentage of sales, were 16.6% in the 1994 Fiscal Year, 16.1% in the 1993
Fiscal Year, and 15.4% in the 1992 Fiscal Year.  The increase of $1.8 million
from the 1993 Fiscal Year to the 1994 Fiscal Year was primarily the result of
increased occupancy costs and other expenses related to stores opened,
acquired or remodeled, and an increase in insurance reserves and advertising
expenses, offset by reduced operating costs due to store closings.  The
increase as a percentage of sales was attributable to operating costs of
comparable stores in the aggregate declining at a lesser rate than the rate
of sales decline in those stores.  The increase, as a percentage of sales,
for the 1993 Fiscal Year compared to the 1992 Fiscal Year was primarily
attributable to certain expenses, such as employee benefits, utilities, and
repairs and maintenance, which increased at a faster rate than the rate of
growth in sales, offset partially by lower average cost per hour and improved
labor productivity in the stores.


  Depreciation and Amortization

     The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses were $24.1 million,
or 2.3% of sales, for the 1994 Fiscal Year; $23.5 million, or 2.2% of sales,
for the 1993 Fiscal Year; and $20.1 million, or 1.9% of sales, for the 1992
Fiscal Year.  The increase in depreciation and amortization for the three
year period was attributable to the new stores and major remodels, and
accelerated amortization of favorable lease interests on certain stores
closed during the period.

     Interest expense for the 1994 Fiscal Year was primarily comprised of
interest under the Old Credit Agreement, the Old Senior Floating Rate Notes,
the Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes, the Old Subordinated Debentures, various
mortgages and capital leases.  The increase in interest expense for the 1994
Fiscal Year was primarily attributable to increased average borrowings under
the revolving credit facility under the Old Credit Agreement, additional
capital leases on store equipment, and slightly higher interest rates on bank
borrowings.


  Losses

     For the reasons set forth above, the Company experienced net losses of
$37.9 million for the 1994 Fiscal Year, $11.9 million for the 1993 Fiscal
Year, and $7.3 million for the 1992 Fiscal Year.



Financial Condition

     During the pendency of its bankruptcy case discussed above, the Company
operated its business in the ordinary course, and paid all pre-petition and
post-petition claims of the Company's general unsecured creditors, trade
creditors, and employees in full.  The provisions of the Prepackaged Plan,
which are discussed in footnote 1 to the accompanying condensed financial
statements, have had an immediate beneficial impact on the Company's
financial condition, primarily as a result of significantly deleveraging the
Company's balance sheet.

     Prior to the Petition Date, the Company's Old Credit Agreement provided
for a revolving credit facility with individual sublimits of $30.0 million
for working capital loans and $25.0 million for letters of credit, with a
maximum of $50.0 million outstanding under the total facility at any one
time.  During the weeks preceding the bankruptcy filing, the Company, with
the approval of its bank lenders, increased its cash position by fully
drawing the remaining availability under its working capital line.  On
November 9, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court approved the use of cash collateral
and a letter of credit facility of $17.7 million under the Old Credit
Agreement, and additional debtor-in-possession financing provided by
BankAmerica Business Credit, Inc. of $11.2 million, subject to certain terms
and conditions.  The outstanding 
                                    28<PAGE>
borrowings under those facilities were refinanced on the Effective Date, when
the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement with The CIT Group/Business
Credit Inc. and certain bank lenders to provide a 3-year $35.0 million term
loan facility and a 3-year $50.0 million revolving credit facility.

     Beginning August 1, 1994, the Company implemented a new short-term
business strategy to improve the Company's financial performance.  The focus
of this strategy is to conserve capital, reduce administrative and operating
expenses, and direct management attention toward the operation of existing
stores.  During the first six months of fiscal 1995 the Company significantly
improved its liquidity as a result of the payment moratorium on interest due
on the Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes, Old Senior Floating Rate Notes, and Old
Subordinated Debentures; managing working capital; and reducing operating
expenses and capital expenditures by $12.0 million on an annualized basis. 
In addition, the Company expects to exercise its option of paying interest in
kind under the New Senior Floating Rate Notes through August 1, 1995, and on
the New Senior Fixed Rate Notes through February 1, 1996, which will further
increase its liquidity through the first half of fiscal 1996.  The Company
also has an agreement in principle for a $28.0 million sale-leaseback
transaction on 11 of its fee-owned store properties.  The Company intends to
apply $13.0 million of the proceeds to reduce the term loan facility under
the New Credit Agreement, and $14.0 million of such proceeds to reduce its
mortgage obligations.  As a result of its increased liquidity, the Company
expects to invest $6.0 million in forward buy inventory in fiscal 1995, has
made prepayments totalling $7.0 million on its term loan facility, and
intends to repay the balance of the term loan facility under the New Credit
Agreement by the end of fiscal 1995.  As of April 21, 1995, the outstanding
principal balance under the term loan facility was $28.0 million, and the
Company had $7.4 million in borrowings and $12.6 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the revolving credit facility under the New Credit
Agreement.

     Consistent with its short-term business strategy, the Company does not
anticipate opening or acquiring any new stores during the current fiscal
year, but expects that capital expenditures of approximately $6.0 million
will be used to upgrade its existing store facilities, including minor
remodelling projects at 41 stores.  The Company's capital expenditure plans
through the end of fiscal 1996 include the completion of major remodelling
projects at 19 stores, minor remodelling projects at 25 additional stores and
the construction of two new stores.  

     The Company has entered into an interest rate swap through August 1995
to reduce its exposure to increases in short-term interest rates on the
majority of its floating rate debt.  The Company does not believe that there
would be any material impact on the accompanying financial statements as of
January 29, 1995 as a result of liquidating this contract.

     Based upon the Company's ability to generate working capital through its
operations and its new $50.0 million revolving credit facility, the Company
believes that it has the financial resources necessary to pay its capital
obligations and implement its business plan.

                      Effects of Inflation

     The Company's primary costs, inventory and labor, are affected by a
number of factors that are beyond its control, including availability and
price of merchandise, the competitive climate and general and regional
economic conditions.  As is typical of the supermarket industry, the Company
has generally been able to maintain margins by adjusting its retail prices,
but competitive conditions may from time to time render it unable to do so
while maintaining its market share.

                              BUSINESS

                              General

     The Company is the third largest food retailer in west central Florida,
operating 92 multi-department supermarkets, five conventional supermarkets
and 33 liquor stores under the "Kash n' Karry" name and two super warehouse
stores under the "Save 'n Pack" name, all supported by a centrally-located
warehouse and distribution facility.  More than one-half of the Company's
stores are located in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, which is Florida's
largest retail food sales market, with the balance located between
Gainesville, approximately 130 miles to the north, and Bonita Springs,
approximately 150 miles to the south.  The west central Florida area has a
diverse and growing economy, which includes high technology and financial
centers, an insurance industry presence, retirement communities, coastal
resorts and commercial agricultural activity.  The region's population is
estimated to be increasing at an annual rate of approximately 2%.

  Supermarket stores
     The Company currently operates 92 multi-department supermarkets, with an
average size of approximately 40,000 total square feet.  The Company also
operates five conventional supermarkets which average approximately 18,000
total square feet.  All of the Company's supermarket stores offer a wide
selection of items typically sold in grocery stores, including staple
groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, bakery and dairy products,
delicatessen items, frozen foods and fresh meats.  Each of the Company's
supermarket stores also sells certain non-food items such as health and
beauty care items, paper and tobacco products, soaps and detergents, drugs,
sundries and housewares.  The Company's multi-department stores offer, in
addition, a wider variety of non-food items, including cosmetics and
toiletries, small hardware and a limited selection of soft goods.  Most of
the Company's multi-department stores also feature expanded perishable goods
departments, delicatessens and in-store bakeries, and many contain pharmacies
and full-service seafood, full-service floral and video rental departments. 
All of the Company's stores feature national brands and also carry a
selection of corporate brand merchandise.  Most of the Company's food stores
are located in shopping centers.  The Company's food stores are open seven
days a week, and most operate 24 hours a day.

  Super warehouse stores
     In 1993, the Company acquired three super warehouse stores (one of which
was subsequently closed) operating under the "Save 'n Pack" name.  The two
existing super warehouse stores, which are 76,000 and 88,000 square feet in
size, respectively, feature among the lowest prices on basic items carried by
supermarkets and are designed to cater to the needs of the low-income
household.  In its super warehouse store promotions, the Company encourages
consumers to verify the stores' tag line, "No One Has Lower Prices." The
assortment of packaged goods carried by the super warehouse stores is more
limited than that of a supermarket and is frequently augmented by one-time
purchases of specially priced products that may not be available on a regular
basis.  Store decor is austere compared to that of a traditional supermarket,
and product is displayed on warehouse racking and on floor pallets to enhance
productivity and promote a low-price impression.  The stores provide a full
complement of perishable departments, including meat, produce, bakery, deli
and fresh seafood, which also feature low prices and are frequently
self-service.  The super warehouse stores do not have certain specialty
departments such as pharmacies, video rental departments or full-service
floral departments and do not provide supermarket services such as grocery
bagging, carry-out service, check cashing services and electronic funds
transfer.  Because of reduced display, labor and advertising costs and the
more limited services, the Company is able to operate its super warehouse
stores successfully with lower gross margins than the Kash n' Karry
supermarket stores.  The super warehouse stores operate 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.

  Liquor stores

     Each of the Company's 33 liquor stores is located on property adjacent
to one of the Company's supermarket stores and is operated as a department of
such store, although, in 
                                    31<PAGE>
accordance with Florida law, each liquor store must maintain a separate
entrance.  Liquor stores complement the Company's core business, as they can
be advertised through existing media without incremental expense, pay
supermarket (as compared to shopping center) rents and benefit from operating
and marketing synergies with the adjacent supermarkets.  The liquor stores
offer a wide variety of wines, beers and hard liquors, as well as mixers,
soft drinks, snacks, ice and other party accessories and a limited number of
traditional grocery items.  Sales from the Company's liquor stores represent
approximately 2% of the Company's total sales.  The Company's liquor stores
range in size from 1,800 to 2,700 square feet, and most are open seven days
a week. 

                       Operations Strategy

     The Company believes that up-to-date, strategically located facilities,
well-trained associates and information management systems are key elements
to the Company's future success.  The Company operates a modern, 687,000
square foot warehouse, distribution and office facility in Tampa with
sufficient capacity to service anticipated store expansion for the
foreseeable future.  The warehouse enables the Company to reduce costs by
purchasing in large quantities, taking advantage of special promotional
prices offered by vendors and purchasing prior to impending price increases,
and reducing delivery costs through cross docking and backhauls.  The central
location of the warehouse facility to its stores also provides the Company
with operating efficiencies. 

     The Company relies on information technology to enhance operating
efficiency.  The Company recently entered into an agreement to outsource its
information systems development in order to minimize costs, accelerate the
implementation period for systems improvements, facilitate future software
upgrades, reduce personnel issues and eliminate equipment lease costs. 
Specifically, the agreement provides for the acquisition of new procurement,
billing, labor scheduling and accounts payable systems and new point-of-sale
equipment in the stores within the next 18 months.

                       Marketing Strategy

     The Company emphasizes competitive prices on everyday items, strong
weekly features, high quality perishables and a broad assortment of both
national and corporate brands.  The Company's food stores are open seven days
a week, with most operating 24 hours a day.  The Company seeks to be either
first or second among its competitors in assortment of branded merchandise,
stocking over 29,000 SKU's (stock keeping units) of national brand and
corporate brand items.  In addition to a full range of grocery and general
merchandise items, most of the Company's multi-department supermarkets also
feature expanded perishable goods departments, delicatessens and in-store
bakeries, and many contain pharmacies and full-service seafood, full-service
floral and video rental departments.



                                    32
<PAGE>
     In 1992, the Company introduced its own corporate brand merchandise. 
The Company's corporate brand strategy is to offer a product comparable in
quality to the best-selling national brand at a lower price.  The Kash n'
Karry brand item generally sells for approximately 10% less than the
competing best-selling national brand but generates a higher per unit gross
profit contribution to the Company.  Over 1,100 SKU's in a wide variety of
product categories carry the Kash n' Karry brand name.


                           Competition

     The food retailing business is highly competitive.  The Company operates
in an environment where more than 90% of sales are by chains.  The principal
competitive factors include store locations, product selection and quality,
price, cleanliness of stores, customer service and overall store image. 
Based on its marketing research, the Company believes that consumers perceive
the Company as having a favorable value image in the markets that it serves
and offering a wide variety of quality products and services in a pleasant
environment.  The Company believes that its competitive strengths include
desirable store locations combined with a strong consumer franchise and
efficient warehousing and distribution facilities.

     The Company competes with several national, regional and local
supermarket chains, particularly Publix, Winn-Dixie, Albertson's and Food
Lion.  The Company is also in competition with convenience stores, stores
owned and operated or otherwise affiliated with large food wholesalers,
unaffiliated independent food stores, merchandise clubs, discount drugstore
chains and discount general merchandise chains.  The Company's principal
competitors have greater financial resources than the Company and could use
those resources to take steps which could adversely affect the Company's
competitive position and financial performance.  For example, operating
results generally and sales growth in particular were adversely affected by
approximately eight, 21, 25 and 30 store openings by principal grocery
competitors during the 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991 fiscal years, respectively. 
In the first six months of fiscal 1995, there were approximately four such
competitive store openings, and it is anticipated that competitive store
openings will continue.  Another example of the highly competitive nature of
the food retailing business is the practice of competitors to reposition
their pricing structure.  Over the past several years, each of the Company's
major competitors has changed its pricing practices in a manner that has
adversely affected general retail pricing in the market.  Winn-Dixie
discontinued double coupons and introduced its everyday low-price program in
the spring of 1991.  In the spring of 1993, Publix began a campaign focused
on "surprisingly low prices," and Food Lion began a double coupon program
which has since been discontinued.  The Company has had to deal with each of
these changes in a manner that has, in some instances, adversely affected its
operating results and may continue to do so in the future.  In addition, the
Company's ability to compete may be adversely affected by its high leverage
and the limitations imposed by the New Credit Agreement and other debt
agreements.


                                    33<PAGE>
                           Seasonality

      The Company's sales and related inventory levels tend to increase
during the winter months due to the holidays, increased tourism and the
influx of winter residents, and to decrease during the summer months. 
Typically, approximately 60% of the Company's operating cash flow is recorded
during the second and third quarters of its fiscal year.


                            Employees

     The Company currently employs approximately 3,700 full-time and 5,600
part-time associates, none of whom is covered by a collective bargaining
agreement.  The Company believes that it has good relations with its
associates.


                     Trademarks and Licenses

     The Company employs various trademarks, trade names and service marks in
its business, including the "Kash n' Karry" logo and trade name.  Except for
"Kash n' Karry" and its derivatives, and "So Much More to Pay Less For!,"
"Kash $aver," "$mart Buy," "Five Star Meat," "Nature Friendly" and "Save 'n
Pack," the Company does not believe that any of such trademarks or service
marks are material to the business of the Company.

     Certain governmental licenses and permits, including alcoholic beverage
licenses, health permits and various business licenses, are necessary in the
Company's operations.  The Company believes it has all material licenses and
permits necessary to enable it to conduct its business.


                           Properties

     The Company's 92 multi-department supermarkets and five conventional
supermarket stores have an aggregate selling area of approximately three
million square feet.  Thirteen of the food stores (comprising approximately
504,000 square feet) are owned by the Company.  The remaining 84 supermarket
stores are leased by the Company.  Six of the leased stores are operated
under long-term ground leases with the Company owning the improvements at
such locations.  Seventeen leases expire during the next five years, with the
Company having options to renew all but two.  Most of the Company's food
store leases have minimum rentals with additional rentals based on a
percentage of sales.  In March 1995, the Company entered into an agreement in
principle to sell 11 of its fee-owned stores to a third party, and to
simultaneously enter into long-term leases for those sites.  The Company
expects to consummate the sale-leaseback transaction before the end of the
1995 fiscal year.  


                                    34<PAGE>
     The Company's two Save 'n Pack super warehouse stores have an aggregate
selling area of approximately 119,000 square feet.  One of the stores is
leased, with the remaining store operated under a long-term ground lease with
the Company owning the improvements at the location.  Neither of the leases
expires within the next five years.

     The Company's liquor stores have an aggregate selling area of
approximately 53,000 square feet.  Four of the liquor stores are owned by the
Company.  The remaining 29 liquor stores are leased by the Company.  Three of
the leases expire during the next five years, with the Company having an
option to renew.

     The Company's warehouse, distribution and office facility is located on
53.6 acres of land, which the Company owns.


                        Legal Proceedings

     For information regarding the Company's reorganization proceedings under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, see "The Restructuring" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

     On December 30, 1994, the Company's former chief executive officer,
Ronald J. Floto, filed a proof of claim in the bankruptcy proceeding seeking
payments allegedly owed to him in connection with his severance from the
Company.  The total principal amount of Mr. Floto's claim is less than $1.5
million.  On March 31, 1995, the Company filed an objection to the proof of
claim, and on April 29, 1995, Mr. Floto filed a response to the Company's
objection.  A hearing on the Company's objection is scheduled for May 18,
1995.

     The Company has been engaged in various other legal actions and claims
arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management believes, after
discussions with legal counsel, that the ultimate outcome of such litigations
and claims will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's financial
position.

(4)  Mr. Floto filed a proof of claim against the Company seeking payments
     allegedly owed to him in connection with his severance from the Company. 
     See "Business -- Legal Proceedings."  Due to the contingency of such
     claim, it is not reflected in this table. 

     Stock Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

     Prior to the Restructuring, the Company administered two stock option
plans for the benefit of its executive officers and other valued employees --
the Restated 1988 Management Stock Option Plan and the 1991 Management Stock
Option Plan (the "Old Option Plans").  No options were granted in fiscal year
1994 under either of the Old Option Plans.  Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan,
all of the outstanding options under the Old Option Plans were extinguished
on December 29, 1994.  

     In March 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Key Employee Stock Option
Plan (the "New Option Plan"), which authorizes the issuance to eligible
participants of options to purchase up to 236,946 shares of Common Stock of
the Company.  (Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this paragraph are
defined in the New Option Plan.)  Thereafter, the Stock Option Committee
granted to certain executive officers options to purchase the aggregate
amount of 125,240 shares of Common Stock under the New Option Plan (the
"Initial Options").  The Initial Options vest in serial increments in the
amount of 20% per year, on the last day of each of the 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998
and 1999 fiscal years of the Company.  However, upon the occurrence of a
Merger Event or a Change of Control, the Initial Options become 100% vested. 
In addition, upon the termination of Mr. Johnson's employment Without Cause
(as defined in his employment agreement), all of Mr. Johnson's Initial
Options become 100% vested.  The Initial Options expire, to the extent not
exercised, on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.  However, upon
termination of an optionee's employment with the Company, all unvested
Initial Options lapse, and all vested Initial Options expire 180 days after
the termination of employment, if such termination is due to the death,
Disability or Retirement of the optionee, or 45 days after the termination of
employment, if such termination is due to any other reason, other than a
Termination for Cause.  If a Termination for Cause occurs, all vested and
unvested Initial Options expire immediately.  The following table sets forth
certain information with respect to the Initial Options:

     Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year End
Option Values

     None of the options granted under the Old Option Plans were exercised
before they were extinguished pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan on December
29, 1994.  The following table shows information concerning the value of the
unexercised options granted under the Old Option Plans held by the Named
Executive Officers as of July 31, 1994:

(1)  As of July 31, 1994, the Company had reached an agreement in principle
     with the Unofficial Bondholders' Committee with respect to the
     Restructuring.  Accordingly, the fair market value of the Common Stock
     underlying the options was nil and none of the options were
     in-the-money.  On December 29, 1994, all of such options were
     extinguished pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan.

     Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change-of-Control
     Arrangements

     Messrs. Johnson, Shell and Smith have each entered into employment
agreements with the Company for a three-year term.  Mr. Johnson's term
commenced in January 1995 and Messrs. Shell's and Smith's terms each
commenced in March 1995.  Under the employment agreements, the Company agrees
to pay a base salary and to allow the employee to participate proportionally
in all fringe benefit plans available to the most senior executive officers
of the Company from time to time during the term, including the Company's
current bonus plan.  Employment under the agreements may be terminated for
cause or without cause in certain circumstances, as defined therein,
including the employee's death or disability.  Upon a termination without
cause, the employee is entitled to continuation of salary and, in certain
circumstances, benefits and bonus, through the term of the employment
agreement.  Mr. Johnson's agreement also provides that options granted to him
under the New Option Plan will become fully vested upon a termination of his
employment without cause.  The agreements also 


                                    43<PAGE>
contain certain requirements of noncompetition, including a requirement of
noncompetition for a period of one year following a termination of
employment, other than a termination without cause.  

     The Company has severance pay agreements with certain members of its
senior management and other key employees.  The severance pay agreements
provide, among other things, that if the employee is terminated without Cause
(as defined therein) in connection with a Change of Control (as defined
therein) then such employee will be entitled to payment ranging from 50% to
100% of that employee's annual compensation.

     The Company maintains the Kash n' Karry Retirement Estates ("KKRE"), a
trusteed defined contribution retirement plan.  KKRE is a tax savings/profit
sharing plan maintained for the purpose of providing retirement income for
eligible employees of the Company.  KKRE is qualified under Section 401(a)
and Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
Generally, all employees who have attained the age of 21 years and complete
one year of participation service (as defined under KKRE) are eligible to
participate in KKRE.  During the 1994 fiscal year, each of the Named
Executive Officers participated in KKRE.

     Certain members of senior management and other key employees also
participate in the Kash n' Karry Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan
("KESP"), a non-qualified, unfunded salary deferral plan.  During the 1994
fiscal year, each of the Named Executive Officers participated in KESP. 
Prior to the beginning of each plan year, a participant may elect to defer an
amount not to exceed 15% of such participant's annual base compensation (as
defined under KESP).  The Company matches a certain portion of the amount
deferred by the participant, but the amount of the match may not exceed 6% of
such participant's annual base compensation.  The Company records income to
the participant's account at an annual rate as determined by the Board of
Directors, but the rate of such income shall not be less than 8% per annum. 
The vested percentage of the amounts recorded in the participant's account
will be paid to the participant upon the earlier of:  (i) such participant's
death, disability, retirement or other separation of service from the
Company; (ii) the date the Plan is terminated; or (iii) the date that a
change in control occurs (as defined under KESP).


     Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participations

     The Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee and a
Stock Option Committee.  The Compensation Committee approves compensation
payable to the executive officers and the Stock Option Committee administers
the Company's stock option plans.  Currently, Jennifer Holden Dunbar, Ben
Evans and Peter Zurkow comprise both such committees.  During the 1994 fiscal
year, Ronald J. Floto, Leonard I. Green, Christopher V. Walker and Edward W.
Gibbons (each of whom was a director during the 1994 fiscal year) performed
the functions of the Compensation Committee and Messrs. Floto, Green and
Gibbons served on the Stock Option Committee.

                                    44<PAGE>
     Mr. Green and Ms. Dunbar are each controlling shareholders of general
partners of LGP, and Mr. Green is a former partner of Gibbons, Green, van
Amerongen, L.P. ("Gibbons, Green"), now known as Gibbons, Goodwin, van
Amerongen, L.P. ("GGvA").  Mr. Walker is a former general partner of LGP and

general partner of Green Equity Investors, L.P., which owned 60.9% of the
Company's common stock during the 1994 fiscal year, and which currently owns
27.7% of the Company's Common Stock.  See "Principal Stockholders."  GGvA is
the general partner of the Fulcrum Partnerships, which collectively owned
33.8% of the Company's common stock during the 1994 fiscal year.  The equity
interest of the Fulcrum Partnerships was extinguished in December 1994
pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan.  Gibbons, Green is a predecessor of GGvA. 
Mr. Floto was the Chairman of the Board, President and Executive Officer of
the Company until July 29, 1994.

     During fiscal 1994, as consideration for the provision of financial
advisory services, the Company agreed to pay an annual fee of $554,000, plus
related out-of-pocket expenses, to LGP and an annual fee of $232,000, plus
related out-of-pocket expenses, to GGvA.  From September 1993 through
December 1994, the Company did not pay the annual fees to LGP or GGvA, but
reimbursed them for out-of-pocket expenses billed to the Company.  Pursuant
to the Prepackaged Plan, on December 29, 1994 the Company entered into a
Management Services Agreement with LGP, pursuant to which LGP agreed to
provide management, consulting, financial planning and financial advisory
services for a two year term, in consideration for an annual fee of $200,000.

                  DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK


Authorized Capital Stock

     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 5,500,000 shares
of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share.  The authorized Preferred Stock includes
35,000 shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series
A Preferred").  As of April 24, 1995, 3,100,000 shares of Common Stock and no
shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding, an additional 173,240 shares of
Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options
granted to GEI and to certain directors and executive officers pursuant to
the Director Plan and New Option Plan, and all 35,000 shares of Series A
Preferred were reserved for issuance to the holders of Rights.  See
"Management" and "-- Certain Anti-Takeover and Charter Provisions; Rights
Plan."  

     The following description of those terms and provisions of the capital
stock of the Company which are deemed material to an investment in the Common
Stock is intended to be a summary thereof and does not purport to be a
complete description of the terms and conditions of such capital stock. 
Reference is made to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the
Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred, and the Rights
Agreement dated as of April 13, 1995 (the "Rights Agreement") between the
Company and Shawmut Bank Connecticut, N.A., as Rights Agent (the "Rights
Agent").  Copies of each of the foregoing documents have been filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.


Common Stock

     Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all
matters to be voted on by the stockholders, including elections of directors,
and, except as otherwise provided by law or as may be provided with respect
to any series of Preferred Stock created by the Board of Directors from time
to time, the holders of such shares of Common Stock exclusively possess all
voting power.  See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock." 
Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulate their votes.




                                    49<PAGE>
     Subject to certain preferential rights of any outstanding series of
Preferred Stock created by the Board of Directors from time to time, holders
of Common Stock are entitled to dividends and other distributions as and when
declared by the Board of Directors out of assets legally available therefor,
and upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the
holders of Common Stock would be entitled to share equally in the
distribution of all of the Company's assets.  The holders of Common Stock
have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company.

     The transfer agent and registrar for the Company's Common Stock is
Shawmut Bank Connecticut, N.A., of 777 Main Street, MSN 238, Hartford,
Connecticut  06115.

     The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market under the
symbol "KASH."


Preferred Stock

     Blank check authority

     The Board of Directors has the authority, without action by the
stockholders, to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and,
within certain limitations, to determine the dividend rights, dividend rate,
rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms,
conversion rights and voting rights of any series of Preferred Stock, the
number of shares constituting any such series, the designation thereof, and
the price therefor.

     As of April 24, 1995, the Board of Directors has not authorized the
issuance of any Preferred Stock other than the Series A Preferred.  See "--
Series A Preferred."

     The Company believes that the ability of its Board of Directors to issue
one or more series of Preferred Stock will provide the Company with
flexibility in structuring possible future financings and acquisitions, and
in meeting other corporate needs which might arise.  The authorized shares of
Preferred Stock, as well as Common Stock, will be available for issuance
without further action by the Company's stockholders, unless such action is
required by applicable law or the rules of any exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Company's securities may be listed or traded.

     Series A Preferred

     There are 35,000 authorized shares of Series A Preferred.  As of April
24, 1995, none of the Series A Preferred is outstanding, but all of such
shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to an exercise of Rights.  See "--
Certain Anti-Takeover and Charter Provisions; Rights Plan."





                                    50<PAGE>
     The Series A Preferred is not redeemable and has no sinking fund.  Each
share of Series A Preferred will be entitled to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of $1 per share but will be entitled to an
aggregate dividend equal to the dividends on 100 shares of Common Stock.  In
addition, each share of Series A Preferred will have a liquidation preference
of $100 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times
the payment made per share of Common Stock.  Each share of Series A Preferred
will have 100 votes, voting together with the shares of Common Stock. 
Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in
which shares of Common Stock are exchanged, each share of Series A Preferred
will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per share of Common
Stock.  These rights are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions.

Restrictions on Dividends

     The indentures governing the New Senior Fixed Rate Notes and the New
Senior Floating Rate Notes (the "Indentures") provide that the Company will
not, directly or indirectly, (i) declare or pay any dividend on or make any
distributions in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any
Subsidiary thereof (except for (x) dividends or distributions payable solely
to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and (y) dividends or
distributions of a Subsidiary of the Company solely on the capital stock of
such Subsidiary), or purchase, redeem or retire for value, or make any
payment on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or
retirement for value of, any capital stock or warrants, rights or options to
purchase such capital stock, (ii) make any principal payment on, or redeem,
repurchase or defease, or otherwise acquire or retire for value, Subordinated
Debt (as defined in the Indentures), prior to any scheduled principal
payment, scheduled sinking fund payment or maturity thereof, or (iii) make
any loan or advance to, or any other Investment (as defined in the
Indentures) in, any of its Affiliates other than a Subsidiary of the Company
(such payments or any other actions described in (i), (ii) and (iii),
collectively, "Restricted Payments") unless (1) at the time of and after
giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment, no Event of Default (as
defined in the Indentures) or event that, after notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing,
and (2) at the time of and after giving effect to the proposed Restricted
Payment (the amount of any such payment, if other than cash, to be determined
by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and
evidenced by a Board Resolution (as defined in the Indentures)) (A) the
Consolidated Net Worth (as defined in the Indentures) of the Company shall be
at least $75,000,000 and (B) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments
after January 29, 1995 shall not exceed 50% of Cumulative Net Available Cash
(as defined in the Indentures) of the Company and (C) the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Indentures) calculated on a pro forma basis
for the full twelve-month period ending on the last day of the Company's
fiscal quarter immediately preceding such proposed Restricted Payment shall
be at least 1.50 to 1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will
not prohibit the redemption, by the Company, of its common stock (on a fully
diluted basis) from time to time under the terms and conditions of management
equity subscription agreements or stock option agreements and related
exhibits, so long as such 


                                    51<PAGE>
redemption does not otherwise result in an Event of Default or event that,
after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default.

     The foregoing provisions shall not be deemed to prohibit (1) the payment
of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at
such declaration date such declaration complied with the provisions of the
Indentures, or (2) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or
retirement (a "retirement") of any shares of any class of capital stock of
the Company or of any Subsidiary thereof in exchange for (including any such
exchange pursuant to the exercise of a conversion right or privilege in
connection with which cash is paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional
shares or scrip), or out of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue
and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, other shares of
capital stock of the Company, or (3) the retirement of Subordinated Debt out
of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale (other than to a
Subsidiary of the Company) of shares of capital stock of the Company or
issuance other than to a Subsidiary of the Company of new Indebtedness which
has a weighted average life to maturity at least as long as the Stated
Maturity of the New Notes and no sinking fund or scheduled principal payments
prior to the maturity of the New Notes and the payment of which is
subordinated in right of payment and otherwise to the New Notes at least to
the same extent as such Subordinated Debt, or (4) the payment of dividends or
the making of distributions on shares of capital stock of the Company solely
in shares of capital stock of the Company.

     The New Credit Agreement provides that the Company will not declare or
make any Dividend Payment (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at any
time (other than Dividend Payments in respect of the Company's obligations to
repurchase capital stock or Equity Rights (as defined in the New Credit
Agreement) of the Company of retired, terminated or deceased directors,
officers or employees of the Company, provided that (a) the aggregated amount
of such payments in any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed the sum
of (i) $500,000 plus (ii) for each fiscal year of the Company beginning after
the Effective Date, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of $500,000 over
the amount of such payments made by the Company in its immediately preceding
fiscal year and (b) no such Dividend Payments may be made after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (as defined in the New
Credit Agreement)).

Certain Anti-Takeover and Charter Provisions

     Delaware General Corporation Law

     The Company is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as amended ("Section 203").  Section 203 provides that,
subject to certain exceptions specified therein, an "interested stockholder"
of a Delaware corporation shall not engage in any business combination,
including mergers or consolidations or acquisitions of additional shares of
the corporation, with the corporation for a three-year period following the
date that such stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder" unless (i)
prior to such date, the board of directors of the 
                                    52<PAGE>
corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an "interested stockholder," (ii) upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
"interested stockholder," the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of
the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced (excluding certain shares), or (iii) on or subsequent to such date,
the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the
corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by
the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock
which is not owned by the "interested stockholder." Except as otherwise
specified in Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is defined to include
(x) any person that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting
stock of the corporation, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation
and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant
date and (y) the affiliates and associates of any such person.

     Under certain circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for a
person who would be an "interested stockholder" to effect various business
combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the
stockholders may elect to exclude a corporation from the restrictions imposed
thereunder.  The Certificate of Incorporation does not exclude the Company
from the restrictions imposed under Section 203.  The provisions of Section
203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate
in advance with the Board of Directors, since the stockholder approval
requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office
approve either the business combination or the transaction which results in
the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder.  Such provisions also may
have the effect of preventing changes in the management of the Company.  It
is possible that such provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish
transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best
interests.

     Severance arrangements

     Certain executive officers of the Company have severance arrangements
with the Company, which may have the effect of increasing the costs of
acquiring the Company in a hostile takeover.  See "Management -- Termination
of Employment and Change-of-Control Arrangements."

     Rights Plan

     On April 13, 1995, the Company adopted a preferred stock purchase rights
plan (the "Rights Plan").  Under the Rights Plan, the Board declared a
dividend in the form of one right (a "Right" and, collectively, the "Rights")
for each outstanding share of Common Stock.  The dividend was payable on
April 27, 1995 (the "Record Date") and was declared with respect to both the
shares then outstanding and shares that shall become outstanding between the
Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date (as defined below) and
the date on which the 





                                    53<PAGE>
Rights are redeemed or expire.  The certificates representing any such shares
of Common Stock so issued will bear a legend to the effect that the
certificates also evidence the Rights.

     Subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described
below, each Right entitles the holder thereof to purchase one one-hundredth
of a share of Series A Preferred (the "Preferred Shares") for $76.00 (the
"Purchase Price"), ten days after a person or group (an "Acquiring Person")
acquires 25% or more of the Company's Common Stock (or, subject to the terms
of the Rights Agreement, more than 29% in the case of Leonard Green &
Partners, L.P. ("LGP") or any person or entity which at any time purchases
all of the shares of Common Stock owned by LGP), or certain actions are taken
in respect of such acquisition.  The first date on which the right to
purchase Preferred Shares could be exercised is referred to herein as the
Distribution Date.  

     The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Preferred Shares or other
securities issuable, upon exercise of the Rights shall be adjusted in the
event (i) of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of, the Preferred Shares, (ii) of a grant to holders of the
Preferred Shares of certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
Preferred Shares at a price, or securities convertible into Preferred Shares
with a conversion price, less than the then-current market price of the
Preferred Shares or (iii) of a distribution to holders of the Preferred
Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic
cash dividends paid out of earnings or retained earnings or dividends payable
in Preferred Shares) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those
referred to above).

     The number of outstanding Rights and the number of one one-hundredths of
a Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of each Right are also subject to
adjustment in the event of a stock split of the shares of Common Stock or a
stock dividend on the shares of Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock or subdivisions, consolidations or combinations of shares of the Common
Stock occurring, in any such case, prior to the Distribution Date.

     In the event any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person, each
holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring
Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the right to
receive (subject to adjustment) upon exercise that number of shares of Common
Stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.  In
addition, if there is a merger or other business combination between the
Company and an Acquiring Person, or if certain other events occur involving
an Acquiring Person, each Right (if not previously exercised) would entitle
the holder to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Acquiring
Person which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two
times the exercise price of the Right.

     Prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights cannot be transferred apart
from the Common Stock and will be represented solely by the Common Stock
certificates.  If the Distribution Date occurs, separate certificates
representing the Rights will be mailed to holders of the Common 


                                    54<PAGE>
Stock as of such date, and the Rights could then begin to trade separately
from the Common Stock.

     At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and
prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company may exchange the Rights
(other than Rights owned by an Acquiring Person, which will have become
void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common
Stock, or one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share (or of a share of a class or
series of the Company's preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences
and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

     The Rights are redeemable by the Company at $.01 per Right at any time
prior to the occurrence of the Distribution Date.  In the event the Company
receives a written notice from the holder or holders of at least ten percent
of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding directing the Board of
Directors to submit to a vote of stockholders at the Company's next annual
meeting of stockholders a resolution authorizing the redemption of all the
then outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price (the "Resolution") and the
written notice complies with certain procedural requirements, then the Board
of Directors is required to take such actions as are necessary or desirable
to cause the Resolution to be so submitted to a vote of stockholders,
including by including a proposal relating to the adoption of the Resolution
in the Board of Directors' proxy materials relating to such annual meeting of
stockholders.  Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Board of
Directors of the Company may take a position in favor of or opposed to the
adoption of the Resolution, or no position with respect to the Resolution, as
it deems appropriate.  If at the annual meeting the Resolution receives the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of the record date for such annual meeting, and provided that no person or
entity has become an Acquiring Person prior to the redemption date, then all
of the Rights will be redeemed by such stockholder action at the Redemption
Price, effective as of the close of business on the tenth business day
following the date on which the results of the vote on the Resolution at the
annual meeting are certified as official.  The Rights will automatically
expire on April 13, 2000 (the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the Final
Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or
exchanged by the Company.

     The Rights will not have any voting rights and will not be entitled to
dividends.  The terms of the Rights may be amended without the consent of the
holders of the Rights, provided that after the Distribution Date the
amendment does not adversely affect the interest of the holders. 

     The Preferred Shares are not redeemable and have no sinking fund.  Each
Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend
payment of $1 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate dividend equal
to the dividends on 100 shares of Common Stock.  In addition, each Preferred
Share will have a liquidation preference of $100 per share but will be
entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times the payment made per share of
Common Stock.  

                                    55<PAGE>
Each Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the shares of
Common Stock.  Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other
transaction in which shares of Common Stock are exchanged, each Preferred
Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per share of
Common Stock.  These rights are protected by customary anti-dilution
provisions.

     The Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects.  The Rights will
cause substantial dilution to any person or group which becomes an Acquiring
Person or if an Acquiring Person attempts to merge with, or engage in certain
other transactions with, the Company.  The Rights should not, however,
interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the
Company's Board of Directors prior to the occurrence of a Distribution Date
because the Rights may be redeemed prior to such time.


Limitation of Liability of Directors

     The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the Company
will not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)
for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which concerns unlawful payments of
dividends, stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     While the Certificate of Incorporation provides directors with
protection from awards for monetary damages for breaches of their duty of
care, it does not eliminate such duty.  Accordingly, the Certificate of
Incorporation will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies
such as an injunction or rescission based on a director's breach of his or
her duty of care.  The provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
described above apply to an officer of the Company only if he or she is a
director of the Company and is acting in his or her capacity as director, and
do not apply to officers of the Company who are not directors.

                      SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

     Certain holders of Common Stock (the "Selling Stockholders") may offer
such securities hereby on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415
promulgated under the Securities Act.  

     The following table sets forth certain information as of April 26, 1995
with respect to each Selling Stockholder for whose account Common Stock may
be sold pursuant to this Prospectus, which information has been furnished to
the Company by the Selling Stockholders and other sources that the Company
has not certified.  Because the Selling Stockholders may sell, pursuant to
this Prospectus, all or some part of the Common Stock that they hold, no
estimate can be given as to the amount of Common Stock that will be held by
the Selling Stockholders at any time subsequent to the date of this
Prospectus.  See "Plan of Distribution."  As of April 26, 1995, none of the
Selling Stockholders except Green Equity Investors, L.P. ("GEI") has had a
material relationship within the past three years with the Company, other
than as a result of the ownership of securities of the Company.  For a
discussion of the relationship between GEI and the Company, see "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."

                      PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


     The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the
Selling Stockholders of the Common Stock offered by this Prospectus.  Any or
all of such Common Stock may be sold by the Selling Stockholders from time to
time (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to one or more
other purchasers, (iii) through agents on a best-efforts basis, or (iv)
through a combination of any such methods of sale.  The Selling Stockholders
and any such underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the
distribution of the Common Stock may be deemed to be underwriters within the
meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the Common Stock
by them, and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by them, may
be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act.  The Common Stock may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions at a fixed offering price, which may be changed, or at varying
prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.  Such prices
will be determined by the Selling Stockholders or by agreement between the
Selling Stockholders and underwriters or dealers.  Brokers or dealers acting
in connection with the sale of Common Stock contemplated by this Prospectus
may receive fees or commissions in connection therewith.

     At the time a particular offer of Common Stock is made, to the extent
required, a supplement to this Prospectus will be distributed which will
identify and set forth the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock being
offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter
for Common Stock purchased from the Selling Stockholders, any discounts,
commissions and other items constituting compensation from the Selling
Stockholders and/or the Company and any discounts, commissions or concessions
allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, including the proposed selling price
to the public.  Each supplement to this Prospectus and, if necessary, a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part, will be filed with the Commission to reflect the
disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of
Common Stock.

     The outstanding Common Stock is, and the Common Stock offered hereby
will be, listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market.

     Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in a distribution of Common Stock may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for a
period of nine business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. 
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Stockholders and
any person participating in the distribution of the Common Stock will be
subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7,
which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common
Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any such other person.



                                    60<PAGE>
     In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable,
the Common Stock will be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered
or licensed brokers or dealers.  In certain states the Common Stock may not
be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale in such state, or
unless an exemption from registration or qualification is available. 

     The Registration Statement, of which the Prospectus is a part, is being
filed by the Company to satisfy a condition set forth in the Prepackaged
Plan.  Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company is required to use its
best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective until
the third anniversary of its original effectiveness.  

     Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, the Company has paid or will pay any
and all expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with its
registration obligations, including, among other things, registration and
filing fees, fees and expenses incurred in connection with compliance with
securities or blue sky laws of the applicable states, fees and disbursements
of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, but excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, the fees and expenses of counsel to
the Selling Stockholders and transfer taxes, if any.



                          LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon by
Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy.


                             EXPERTS

     The financial statements of the Company as of July 31, 1994 and August
1, 1993 and for the 52 weeks ended July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993 and the
53 weeks ended August 2, 1992, have been included herein and in the
Registration Statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
("KPMG"), independent certified public accountants, appearing elsewhere
herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.

     On February 17, 1995, KPMG, the Company's independent accountants who
were previously engaged as the principal accountants to audit the Company's
financial statements, were dismissed.  KPMG's report on the financial
statements of the Company for the past two years contained no adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that KPMG's report
on the 1994 financial statements of the Company contained a separate
paragraph stating that "Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency.  As
discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, Kash n' Karry Food Stores,
Inc. filed a pre-packaged petition under Chapter 11 of the United 



                                    61<PAGE>
States Bankruptcy Code on November 9, 1994.  These matters raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty."  The Company's plan of reorganization was approved by
the bankruptcy court on December 12, 1994 and became effective on December
29, 1994.   

     The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company.  During the Company's two most recent fiscal years
and any subsequent interim period preceding the dismissal, there were no
disagreements between the Company and KPMG on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have
caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report.  Also, during the aforementioned period, there
occurred no "reportable event" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K of the Commission.  

     On February 17, 1995, the Company engaged Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. as
the principal accountants to audit the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal year ending July 30, 1995.  The Company did not consult with Coopers
& Lybrand, L.L.P. regarding accounting advice prior to its engagement.

1.   On September 3, 1994, the Company began to solicit acceptances of all 
impaired parties of a restructuring of the Company which would be implemented 
through the consummation of a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization under 
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Restructuring").  As a 
result of this solicitation, the voting requirements prescribed by Section 
1126 of the Bankruptcy Code were satisfied, and on November 9, 1994 (the 
"Petition Date") the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a voluntary 
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  On 
December 12, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the plan of reorganization, 
and the Company emerged from bankruptcy on December 29, 1994 (the "Effective 
Date").  During the pendency of the bankruptcy case, the Company, with the 
Bankruptcy Court's approval, operated its business in the ordinary course, 
and paid all pre-petition and post-petition claims of the Company's general 
unsecured creditors, trade creditors and employees in full.  In connection 
with the Restructuring:

     (i)  Each $1,000 principal amount of the Company's Old Senior Floating 
Rate Notes was exchanged for (a) new Senior Floating Rate Notes due February 
1, 2003 (the "New Senior Floating Rate Notes") in an original principal 
amount equal to $1,000 plus 100% of the accrued interest under the Old Senior 
Floating Rate Notes from and including February 3, 1994, through but not 
including the Petition Date, or, at such holder's election, (b) new 11.5% 
Senior Fixed Rate Notes due February 1, 2003 (the "New Senior Fixed Rate 
Notes") in the same original principal amount, or, at such holder's election, 
(c) an amount of New Senior Floating Rate Notes and an amount of New Senior 
Fixed Rate Notes equal, in the aggregate, to 100% of such claim;

     (ii)  Each $1,000 principal amount of the Company's Old Senior Fixed 
Rate Notes was exchanged for (a) New Senior Floating Rate Notes in an 
original principal amount equal to $1,000 plus 100% of the accrued interest 
under the Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes from and including February 2, 1994, 
through but not including the Petition Date, or, at such holder's election, 
(b) New Senior Fixed Rate Notes in the same original principal amount, or, at 
such holder's election, (c) an amount of New Senior Floating Rate Notes and 
an amount of New Senior Fixed Rate Notes equal, in the aggregate, to 100% of 
such claim;

     (iii)  the Old Subordinated Debentures were exchanged for newly-issued 
common stock of the Company representing 85 percent of the common stock 
outstanding on the Effective Date;

     (iv)  Green Equity Investors, L.P. invested $10,000 cash in exchange for 
newly-issued common stock of the Company representing 15 percent of the 
common stock outstanding on the Effective Date; 

     (v)  the Company entered into a new credit agreement with The CIT 
Group/Business Credit, Inc. as Administrative Agent, and the lenders under 
its old bank credit agreement; and

     (vi)  all of the existing preferred stock, common stock, and options and 
warrants to purchase common stock of the Company was extinguished.

2.   The condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared 
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of 
the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted 
accounting principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with 
the fiscal 1994 Form 10-K filed by the Company.  The accompanying condensed 
financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of 
management the condensed financial statements for the period ended January 
30, 1994 includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring 
adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position 
and results of operations.  

     The condensed financial statements as of and for the period ended 
January 29, 1995 reflect the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 and were 
prepared according to the principles of fresh start reporting contained in 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 
90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy 
Code" ("SOP 90-7").  Operations during the period from the Effective Date 
through January 1, 1995 had no significant impact on the emergence 
transactions and as a result have not been separately identified.  As a 
result of the implementation of fresh start accounting, the Company's 
condensed financial statements are not comparable to the Company's condensed 
financial statements of prior periods.  Results for the periods ended January 
29, 1995 or January 1, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results for 
the full year.

     The total reorganization value assigned to the Company's assets was 
estimated by calculating projected cash flows before debt service 
requirements discounted back to present value using a discount rate of 13.3% 
(representing the estimated weighted cost of capital), as well as by 
analyzing market cash flow multiples applied to the Company's adjusted 
12-month trailing cash flows.  After extensive negotiations between 
independent investment banking firms representing the Company and an ad hoc 
committee of bondholders, the reorganization value was agreed to by the 
parties and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.  The excess of the 
reorganization value over the value of the identifiable assets is reported as 
"Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocable to Identifiable Assets" 
and is being amortized over twenty years.  Under the principles of fresh 
start accounting, the Company's total assets were recorded at this assumed 
reorganization value, with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable 
tangible and intangible assets on the basis of their estimated fair value.  
In addition, the Company's accumulated deficit was eliminated.                  
       

     The effect of the Restructuring and the implementation of fresh start 
accounting on the Company's condensed balance sheet as of January 1, 1995 was 
as follows:                               F-10

(A)   In connection with the Restructuring, the Company entered into a new 
term loan and revolving credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement") on 
December 29, 1994.  At January 29, 1995, the Company's New Credit Agreement 
provides for borrowings of up to $35,000 under a term loan facility (with 
quarterly principal repayments of $1,750 and a $14,000 repayment due when the 
facility terminates on December 29, 1997) and a $50,000 revolving credit 
facility with a $25,000 sublimit for letters of credit.  At January 29, 1995, 
the Company had $12,000 in borrowings under the working capital line, and had 
$17,300 of letters of credit issued against the revolving credit facility.  
Amounts outstanding under the term facility bear interest (11.0% at January 
29, 1995) equal to the prime rate (as defined) plus 250 basis points.  
Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility bear interest (9.50% 
at January 29, 1995) equal to the prime rate plus 100 basis points.

(B)   The New Senior Floating Rate Notes mature on February 1, 2003, and bear 
interest (7.31% at January 29, 1995) payable semiannually, at a rate equal to 
six-month LIBOR (as defined in the New Senior Floating Rate Note Indenture) 
plus 200 basis points.  The New Senior Floating Rate Notes are redeemable in 
whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on not less than 30 nor more 
than 60 days' prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple 
thereof, at 100% of the principal amount and unpaid interest, if any, to the 
redemption date.  Through August 1, 1995, all interest on the New Senior 
Floating Rate Notes may, at the option of the Company, be paid by issuing in 
lieu of cash additional New Senior Floating Rate Notes in an aggregate 
principal amount equal to the amount of interest due.  The Old Senior 
Floating Rate Notes bore interest (5.88% at July 31, 1994) payable 
semiannually, at a rate equal to six-month LIBOR plus 250 basis points.

(C)   The New Senior Fixed Rate Notes mature on February 1, 2003, and bear 
interest at 11.5% per annum, payable semiannually.  The New Senior Fixed Rate 
Notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, on 
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or 
an integral multiple thereof, at 100% of the principal amount and unpaid 
interest, if any, to the redemption date.  Through February 1, 1996, all 
interest on the New Senior Fixed Rate Notes may, at the option of the 
Company, be paid by issuing in lieu of cash additional New Senior Fixed Rate 
Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of interest due.  
The Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes bore interest, payable semiannually, at an 
annual rate of 12.375%.

6.  Reorganization items included in the condensed statements of operations 
consist of restructuring costs, adjustments to fair value, professional fees 
and other expenses.

7.   The Company has a retiree medical plan under which medical coverage is 
available to current retirees and those active employees who, on August 1, 
1993, had attained age 65 with at least 15 years of service.  In accordance 
with SOP 90-7, which the Company adopted on the Effective Date of the 
Restructuring, the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board 
Statement 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than 
Pensions" were also adopted as of that date.    The following table sets 
forth the projected actuarial present value of unfunded postretirement 
benefit obligations for the plan at January 29, 1995:

postretirement benefit obligation was 8.0%.

8.   During the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded a 
non-recurring charge of $11,016 which reflects expenses associated with a 
program of closing twelve underperforming stores and expensing costs 
associated with unsuccessful financing activities.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kash n' Karry
Food Stores, Inc. as of July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash
flows for the fifty-two weeks ended July 31, 1994 and August 1,
1993, and fifty-three weeks ended August 2, 1992.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kash n'
Karry Food Stores, Inc. at July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fifty-two
weeks ended July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993, and fifty-three weeks
ended August 2, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. will continue as a going
concern.  However, Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. 
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Kash n' Karry
Food Stores, Inc. filed a pre-packaged petition under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code on November 9, 1994 and these
matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.  The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(1)  Subsequent Event.

On September 3, 1994, the Company began to solicit acceptances of all
impaired parties of a restructuring of the Company which would be implemented
through the consummation of a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan").  As a result of
such solicitation, the voting requirements prescribed by Section 1126 of the
Bankruptcy Code were satisfied, and the Company filed with the Bankruptcy
Court a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and is seeking, as promptly as is practicable, confirmation
by the Bankruptcy Court of the Plan.  During the pendency of the bankruptcy
case, the Company intends to operate its business in the ordinary course, and
to pay all pre-petition claims of the Company's secured lenders, general
unsecured creditors, trade creditors and employees in full.  The Plan also
provides that:

     (i)  Each $1,000 principal amount of the Company's Old Senior Floating
Rate Notes would be exchanged for (a) new Senior Floating Rate Notes due
February 1, 2003 (the "New Senior Floating Rate Notes") in an original
principal amount equal to $1,000 plus 100% of the accrued interest under the
Old Senior Floating Rate Notes from and including February 3, 1994, through
but not including the petition date, or, at such holder's election, (b) new
11.5% Senior Fixed Rate Notes due February 1, 2003 (the "New Senior Fixed
Rate Notes") in the same original principal amount, or, at such holder's
election, (c) an amount of New Senior Floating Rate Notes and an amount of
New Senior Fixed Rate Notes equal, in the aggregate, to 100% of such claim.

     (ii)  Each $1,000 principal amount of the Company's Old Senior Fixed
Rate Notes would be exchanged for (a) New Senior Floating Rate Notes in an
original principal amount equal to $1,000 plus 100% of the accrued interest
under the Old Senior Fixed Rate Notes from and including February 2, 1994,
through but not including the petition date, or, at such holder's election,
(b) New Senior Fixed Rate Notes in the same original principal amount, or, at
such holder's election, (c) an amount of New Senior Floating Rate Notes and
an amount of New Senior Fixed Rate Notes equal, in the aggregate, to 100% of
such claim.

     (iii)  the Old Subordinated Debentures would be exchanged for
newly-issued common stock of the Company representing 85 percent of the
common stock to be outstanding on the effective date of the Plan (the
"Effective Date");

     (iv)  Green Equity Investors, L.P., would invest $10 million cash in
exchange for newly-issued common stock of the Company representing 15 percent
of the common stock to be outstanding on the Effective Date; and

     (v)  all of the existing preferred stock, common stock, and options and
warrants to purchase common stock of the Company would be extinguished.

Stock," Footnote 7 - "Common Stock," Footnote 8 - "Stock Option Plans," and

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Fiscal Year End.  The Company follows a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on
the Sunday nearest July 31.  The fiscal year ended August 2, 1992 included 53
weeks of operations.

     Inventories.  Inventories consist of merchandise held for resale and are
stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined using average cost,
which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

     Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.  Prepaid expenses and other
current assets include expenditures for construction in progress expected to
be financed  ($9,987 at July 31, 1994 and $9,246 at August 1, 1993) and
prepaid expenses to be recognized over the next twelve months.

     Depreciation, Amortization, and Maintenance and Repairs.  Depreciation
is provided principally using the composite method based on the estimated
useful lives of the respective asset groups.  Amortization of leasehold
improvements is based on the estimated useful lives or the remaining lease
terms, whichever is shorter.  Property under capital leases consists of
buildings and fixtures and equipment.  Interest costs of property under
development are capitalized during the development period.  Capitalized
amounts were $477, $804, and $355 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1994,
August 1, 1993, and August 2, 1992, respectively.  The approximate annual
rates used to compute depreciation and amortization are:
                                                             Rate
                                                             ----
          Buildings and improvements                           5%
          Fixtures and equipment                              10%
          Transportation equipment                            25%
          Leasehold improvements                               8%

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  The Company
capitalizes expenditures for renewals and betterments.

     Favorable Lease Interests.  Favorable lease interests represent the
present value of the excess of current market rental rates over rents that
existed under the Company's operating leases of store locations as of October
12, 1988.  Such costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the
average life of the favorable leases, which was approximately 20 years.

     Deferred Financing Costs.  Deferred financing costs represent fees and
expenses related to various financing activities and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the life of the related debt and classified as
interest expense.

     Excess of Cost Over Net Assets Acquired.  Excess of cost over net assets
acquired represents the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net
assets acquired, and is being amortized over forty years.  As discussed in
Footnote 1, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Management of the Company believes that,
based on the proposed restructuring, the excess of cost over net assets
acquired has not been permanently impaired, and that an appropriate valuation
of such amounts is reflected in the accompanying financial statements as of
July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993.  F-22  <PAGE>

             (Dollar Amounts In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)


     Costs of Opening and Closing Stores.  Preopening costs of new stores are
charged to expense in the year the store opens.  These costs are primarily
labor to stock the store, preopening advertising, store supplies and other
expendable items.  When operations are discontinued and a store is closed,
the remaining investment, net of realizable value, is charged against
earnings, and, for leased stores, a provision is made for the remaining lease
liability, net of expected sublease income.
     Store Closing and Other Costs.  During the first quarter of fiscal 1994
the Company recorded a non-recurring charge of $11,016.  This charge included
$1,900 of costs associated with unsuccessful financing activities, $4,159 of
favorable lease interests written off in connection with the closing of
twelve underperforming stores, $4,000 representing an adjustment to the
expected lease liability on closed stores, net of sublease income, and $957
of other store closing and related expenses.

     Income Taxes.  The Company is in a loss position for income tax
purposes, and, consequently, no income taxes have been provided.   The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS
109") as of August 2, 1993.  No cumulative effect of this change in
accounting was required as of August 2, 1993 and prior years' financial
statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of SFAS 109.  The
effect on prior years' financial statements of retroactively implementing
SFAS 109 would be immaterial.
     Interest Rate Hedge Agreements.  The Company enters into interest rate
hedging agreements which involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate
interest payments periodically over the life of such agreements without the
exchange of the underlying principal amounts.  The differential to be paid or
received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized over the life
of the agreements as an adjustment to interest expense.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The Company considers all highly liquid
investment instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased
to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents at July 31, 1994 or
August 1, 1993.

     Cash interest paid (excluding financing costs) was $41,545, $41,675, and
$39,202, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1994, August 1, 1993, and August
2, 1992, respectively.

     (a)  At July 31, 1994, the Bank Credit Agreement (as amended and
restated) provides for borrowings of up to $17,229 under a term loan facility
(with principal repayments varying from $1,463 to $4,409 per quarter until
the Bank Credit Agreement terminates in April 1996), and a revolving credit
facility with individual sublimits of $30,000 for working capital, $25,000
for letters of credit, and $13,700 for capital improvement loans, with a
maximum of $60,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility at any
time.  At July 31, 1994, the Company had $28,700 in borrowings under the
working capital line, $13,700 in borrowings under the capital improvement
line, and had $16,358 of letters of credit issued against the revolving
credit facility.  On August 1, 1994, the outstanding balance of capital
improvement loans converted into a term loan amortizing to maturity in April
1996 (with principal repayments varying from $1,713 to $2,283 per quarter)
and the maximum borrowings under the revolving credit facility was reduced to
$50,000.

          Amounts outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement bear interest
(8.36% at July 31, 1994) equal to the bank's prime rate plus 1.0%.  Prior to
December 15, 1993, amounts outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement bore
interest (6.27% at August 1, 1993) equal to, at the Company's option, (1) the
bank's prime rate plus 1.0%, (2) the certificate of deposit rate plus 2.25%
or (3) the Eurodollar rate plus 2.0%.

     (b)  The Senior Floating Rate Notes mature on August 2, 1996, and bear
interest (5.88% at July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993) payable semiannually, at
a rate equal to six-month LIBOR (as defined in the Senior Floating Rate Note
Indenture) plus 250 basis points.  The Senior Floating Rate Notes are
redeemable in whole or in part (subject to a minimum redemption of $9,000),
at the option of the Company, on any interest payment date at a redemption
price equal to 101% of the principal amount with accrued interest to the
redemption date.

Notes will be subject to redemption, otherwise than through operation of the
sinking fund, at any time on and after February 1, 1996 or from time to time

such redemption with accrued interest to the redemption date.  The Senior
Fixed Rate Notes are subject to redemption on February 1, 1998 through the
operation of a sinking fund, at a redemption price equal to the principal
amount and accrued interest at the redemption date.  The sinking fund
provides for the redemption in such year of $25,000 aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Fixed Rate Notes, calculated to retire 50% of the notes
prior to maturity.  Senior Fixed Rate Notes acquired or redeemed by the
Company (other than through the operation of the sinking fund) may be
credited against sinking fund requirements.  The Senior Fixed Rate Notes are
also subject to mandatory redemption upon a change in control of the Company
(as defined in the Senior Fixed Rate Note Indenture).

     (d)  The Subordinated Debentures will mature on February 1, 2001, and
bear interest, payable semiannually, at the rate of 14% per annum.  The
Subordinated Debentures are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of
the Company, at any time and from time to time on and after February 1, 1994
at the following redemption prices together with accrued interest to the date
of redemption:
                              Year           Redemption Price

                              1998                100.00%

Mandatory sinking fund payments on the Subordinated Debentures, commencing
February 1, 1999, are calculated to retire 50% of the original principal
amount prior to maturity.

     (e)  In September 1989, the Company completed a $17,000 mortgage
financing of its warehouse, distribution, and office facility; in November
1989, seven fee-owned store properties were mortgaged for $13,200; and in
January 1990, an additional fee-owned store property was mortgaged for
$2,000.  The net proceeds of these transactions were used to reduce existing
bank debt. Final payments of $12,529 and $13,895 are due October 1999 and
November 1999, respectively, on these mortgages.

*  Does not include $28,700 outstanding under the working capital line at
July 31, 1994.  The revolving credit facility under the Bank Credit Agreement
requires the Company to pay down its outstanding working capital borrowings
for a 30 day period in each fiscal year to an average daily balance not to
exceed $5,000 with all such borrowings required to be repaid prior to
termination of the Bank Credit Agreement in April 1996.  Therefore, the
Company classifies any outstanding balance in excess of $5,000 as current
portion of long-term debt.  In August 1994, the outstanding balance of
capital improvement loans of $13,700 converted into a term loan amortizing to
maturity in April 1996, and these amounts are included as term loans in the
table above.
     The Bank Credit Agreement, which is secured by a pledge of substantially
all assets of the Company, requires the Company to maintain a minimum net
worth and to satisfy certain other financial ratios, and provides for certain
restrictions on nonstock distributions and certain other restrictions.  The
Senior Floating Rate Notes, the Senior Fixed Rate Notes, the Subordinated
Debentures, and certain other of the Company's indebtedness also contain
compliance covenants that are less restrictive than the covenants under the
Bank Credit Agreement.  Due to the non-recurring charges incurred during the
first quarter as well as its operating performance, the Company breached
several financial covenants under its Bank Credit Agreement for each of the
reporting periods during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994.  The Company
has received all necessary waivers from the banks through the petition date
discussed in Note 1.  Additionally, the Company has not paid $2,511, $3,094,
and $7,350 in interest due on the Senior Floating Rate Notes, the Senior
Fixed Rate Notes, and the Subordinated Debentures, respectively.  These
amounts have been accrued on the accompanying financial statements, and as
provided in the plan of reorganization discussed in Footnote 1, all interest
on the Senior Floating Rate Notes and the Senior Fixed Rate Notes which is
accrued and unpaid as of the date the Company filed its voluntary petition
with the Bankruptcy Court shall be capitalized into New Senior Floating Rate
Notes or New Senior Fixed Rate Notes and all interest which is accrued and
unpaid on the Subordinated Debentures will be converted into equity.  Given
the automatic stay provisions of the Chapter 11 filing discussed in Note 1
the creditors discussed above are not able to declare these obligations in
default and currently due.  Therefore, certain portions of these obligations
have been classified as long-term debt in the July 31, 1994 balance sheet.

     The Company has entered into a series of interest rate hedging
transactions to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in short-term interest

                                     F-27<PAGE>

rates on the majority of its floating rate indebtedness.  Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
107 (SFAS 107), "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires disclosure of estimated fair values of financial instruments, whether
recognized or not in the balance sheets, for which it is practical to
estimate such value.  In calculating the fair value of each material class of
financial instrument, the value is estimated by the Company to be the current
carrying value adjusted to estimate the cost to liquidate the financial
instruments.  The Company does not intend to dispose of a significant portion
of its financial instruments and thus any aggregate unrealized gains and
losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings or cash
flows.  The Company estimates the cost to liquidate its interest rate hedging
agreements to be approximately $2,600 at July 31, 1994.  Carrying value is
considered a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the remainder of the
Company's financial instruments.  Fair value estimates do not include the
value of nonfinancial instruments, such as fixed assets, the value of
customer relationships and various other factors.  As a result, these fair
values are not comprehensive and, therefore, do not reflect the underlying
value of the Company.

(6)  Redeemable Preferred Stock

     The Series B Preferred Stock shareholders are entitled to receive, when,
as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, cash dividends
at the rate of 12% per annum on the face amount per share, and such dividends
shall be cumulative and shall accrue whether or not earned or declared from
the date of issue or from the most recent preceding dividend payment date
through which dividends have been paid, as the case may be.  Cumulative
undeclared dividends are $2,562 from October 12, 1988 through July 31, 1994. 
Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting rights with
respect to matters voted on by stockholders of the Company, except as
otherwise required by Delaware law.

     The Series C Preferred Stock ranks junior to all classes and series of
stock of the Company other than Common Stock.  The holders of Common Stock
and Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to share equally in such dividends
(other than dividends in Common Stock) as may be declared by the Board of
Directors and paid by the Company out of funds legally available therefor. 
Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be
entitled, before any payment is made in respect of the Common Stock, to be
paid a liquidation preference in cash equal to $4.00 per share.  After
payment of the liquidation preference to the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Common Stock then outstanding shall
be entitled to be paid an amount in cash equal to $4.00 per share, following
which each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock and Common Stock
shall share in the distribution of the remaining assets of the Company, each
share of Series C Preferred Stock being entitled to the amount it would have
received had it been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to such
distribution.  Except as otherwise provided by Delaware law, holders of
Series C Preferred Stock have no right to vote for the election of directors
or on any other matters that may be submitted to a vote of the Company's
stockholders except in the case of a proposal to merge or consolidate the
Company with or into another       F-28          <PAGE>

entity, to sell, lease or exchange all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company as an entirety, to dissolve or liquidate the Company or to adopt
a plan to do any of the foregoing.  In any such event, holders of shares of
Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share and shall
vote together as a class with the Common Stock and not as a separate class.

     The payment of cash dividends by the Company is prohibited by the terms
of the Bank Credit Agreement and restricted by the Indentures relating to the
Company's Senior Floating Rate Notes, Senior Fixed Rate Notes and
Subordinated Debentures.

     The Company has certain mandatory redemption requirements applicable to
the Series B Preferred Stock, and certain repurchase obligations on the
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, provided that such
redemption or repurchase does not, among other things, violate any terms of
an existing or future financing agreement.  The Company's current Bank Credit
Agreement and its current Indentures prohibit or significantly restrict the
redemption or repurchase by the Company of any shares of its capital stock. 
However, due to these redemption requirements, preferred stock has been
excluded from the stockholders' deficit section of the accompanying balance
sheets.  If or when such redemption or repurchase is allowed to occur, the
Company, at its option, may consummate the transaction in the form of cash or
by issuing subordinated notes.

(7)  Common Stock

     In November 1991, Green Equity Investors, L.P. ("GEI"), an investment
fund managed by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. ("LGP"), purchased 1,716,967
newly issued shares of the Company's Common Stock, or approximately 55.4% on
a fully-diluted basis, for $27,700 in cash and The Fulcrum III Limited
Partnership and The Second Fulcrum III Limited Partnership (collectively, the
"Fulcrum Partnerships"), investment funds managed by Gibbons, Goodwin, van
Amerongen ("GGvA"), collectively purchased 142,564 newly issued shares of the
Company's Common Stock, or approximately 4.5% on a fully-diluted basis, for
$2,300 in cash.  Contemporaneously, a majority of the holders of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock voted to amend the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to reclassify each share of Series A Preferred Stock and all
cumulative and unpaid dividends thereon into one-tenth (1/10) of a share of
Common Stock.  As a result of the reclassification, all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, together with all cumulative and unpaid dividends thereon,
were converted into an aggregate of 40,000 shares of Common Stock,
representing 1.3% of the Common Stock, on a fully-diluted basis.  In
addition, the Fulcrum Partnerships exchanged shares of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock, and all cumulative and unpaid dividends thereon, and Series
C Preferred Stock for Common Stock.  As a result, cumulative undeclared
dividends as of the date of these transactions were reduced from $16,648 to
$1,304.

     In February 1994, GEI loaned the Company $2,000 in cash in exchange for
warrants to purchase 63,235 shares of Common Stock.  At the time of this
transaction, the warrant was deemed to have nominal value, and therefore no
adjustment was made to equity in the accompanying financial statements.

(8)  Stock Option Plans

     Certain key employees, including all executive officers, are eligible to
receive nonqualified stock options to purchase Common Stock under the
Restated 1988 Management Stock Option Plan (the "1988 Option Plan") and/or
the 1991 Management Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Option Plan" and, together
with the 1988 Option Plan, the "Option Plans").  Options granted under the
1988 Option Plan have an exercise price of the greater of 85% of fair market
value at the date of grant or $10 per share and options granted under the
1991 Option Plan have an exercise price of (a) $16.13 per share for options
granted within 30 days of the approval of the 1991 Option Plan by the
stockholders of the Company and (b) thereafter at 100% of the fair market
value at the date of grant.  The 1988 Option Plan terminates at the end of
the Company's 1995 fiscal year and the 1991 Option Plan terminates on
November 26, 2001.  A three-person committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Option Committee"), which includes one officer of the Company, administers
both Option Plans.  The Option Committee designates the class of employees
eligible to participate in the Option Plans and, during each fiscal year of
the Option Plans, designates eligible employees who will be granted options
and the number of shares subject to such options.  Members of the Option
Committee are eligible to receive options.

     The Option Plans provide for tenure-vesting based upon a participant's
employment with the Company and, in addition, the 1988 Option Plan provides
for performance-vesting based on the Company meeting certain earnings
targets.  Once exercised, the transfer of the shares subject to the options
will be restricted pursuant to the terms of a Restricted Stock Agreement to
be entered into among the Company and each holder.
     A summary of changes in the Option Plans for the fiscal years ended July
31, 1994, August 1, 1993, and August 2, 1992, are presented below:

     For the 1988 Option Plan, compensation expense is determined based on
the difference between the fair market value (as determined by the Option
Committee) and exercise price upon performance-vesting, such compensation
expense to be recognized over the tenure-vesting period on a pro rata basis.

     For the 1991 Option Plan, options are granted at the fair market value
of Common Stock (as determined by the Option Committee) at the date of grant
and therefore no compensation expense will be recorded.


(9)  Leases

     The Company leases certain stores, other facilities and equipment under
leases that are not cancelable.  Such leases generally contain renewal
options exercisable at the Company's option.  In addition to minimum rental
payments, certain leases provide for payments of taxes, maintenance and
percentage rentals based upon sales in excess of stipulated amounts.  The
future minimum payments under leases that are not cancelable, as of July 31,
1994, are:

Included in total rent expense are percentage rents totaling $241, $446, and

(10) Income Taxes

     The Company has reported a pretax loss for all fiscal years since
October 12, 1988, and, consequently, no income tax expense has been reported. 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 109 (SFAS 109) was adopted by
the Company as of August 2, 1993.  There was no cumulative effect of this
change in accounting for income taxes determined as of August 2, 1993.  Prior
years' financial statements have not been restated to apply the provisions of
SFAS 109.  The effect on prior years' financial statements of retroactively
implementing SFAS 109 would be immaterial.

     The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of July
31, 1994 are presented as follows:

     Deferred tax assets:
        Inventory, principally due to reserves and
           additional costs inventoried for tax purposes

             (Dollar Amounts In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)



     Upon adoption of SFAS 109, effective August 2, 1993, the Company
determined a valuation allowance requirement in the amount of $36,200. The
valuation allowance as of July 31, 1994 has been determined to be $50,600,
resulting in a change in the valuation allowance in the amount of $14,400.

     The Company has net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for federal
income tax purposes of $93,000 which are available to offset future taxable
income, if any, through the year 2009.  The Company has general business
credit carryforwards of $1,600 which are also available to reduce future
federal income taxes, if any, through the year 2009.  The Company anticipates
that, in connection with the restructuring discussed in Footnote 1, it will
undergo an ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382
that will result in an annual limitation on the amount of the NOL and general
business credit carryforwards that the Company may utilize to offset future
federal taxable income.  In addition, should the Company fail to emerge from
bankruptcy by December 31, 1994, its NOL and general business credit
carryforwards will be eliminated to the extent of any income realized from
the cancellation of debt by the Company.

(12)  Employee Benefit Plans

     Kash n' Karry Retirement Estates ("KKRE"), a trusteed defined
contribution retirement plan, was authorized by the Company's Board of
Directors in 1988.  KKRE is a tax savings/profit sharing plan maintained
primarily for the purpose of providing retirement income for eligible
employees of the Company.  KKRE is qualified under Section 401(a) and Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  Generally, all employees who
have attained the age of 21 years and complete one year of participation

service (as defined under KKRE) are eligible to participate in KKRE. 
Participants may, subject to certain federal limitations, elect to defer an
amount not to exceed 15% of their base compensation and have such amount
contributed to KKRE.  The Company may match all or a portion of the
participant's deferred compensation, but the amount of the matching
contribution may not exceed 3% of such participant's compensation. 
Additional non-matching contributions may be made to KKRE by the Company in
such amount as determined by the Company's Board of Directors based on the
Company's operating performance.  Funds that participants elect to defer are
invested, at the participant's option, into various investment accounts.  The
vested percentage of the amounts allocated to a participant's account will be
payable to the participant upon such participant's death, disability,
retirement, or other separation of service from the Company.  Plan expenses
were $573, $573, and $461, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1994, August
1, 1993, and August 2, 1992, respectively.

     Kash n' Karry Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan ("KESP"), a non-
qualified, unfunded salary deferral plan, was authorized by the Company's
Board of Directors in November 1989.  Certain Key Employees (as defined under
KESP) of the Company as selected by its Board of Directors participate in
KESP. Currently, nineteen Key Employees participate in KESP.  Prior to the
beginning of each plan year, a participant may elect to defer an amount not
to exceed 15% of such participant's annual base compensation (as defined
under KESP).  The Company will match a certain portion of the amount deferred
by the participant, but the amount of the match may not exceed 6% of such
participant's annual base compensation.  The Company will record income to
the participant's account at an annual rate (11% for the 1994, 1993 and 1992
plan years) as determined by the Company's Board of Directors, but the rate
of such income shall not be less than 8% per annum.

     The vested percentage of the amounts recorded in the participant's
account will be paid to the participant upon the earlier of:  (i) such
participant's death, disability, retirement, or other separation of service
from the Company; (ii) the date the plan is terminated; or (iii) the date
that a change in control occurs (as defined under KESP).  Expense for this
plan was $135, $149, and $172, for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1994,
August 1, 1993, and August 2, 1992, respectively.


(13) Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $16,358 and
$19,118 at July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993, respectively, which amounts have
been reflected as reductions of the available revolving loan facility as of
those dates.  These letters of credit primarily guarantee various insurance
and financing activities.

90-7, entitled "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the
Bankruptcy Code" ("SOS No. 90-7").  The unaudited pro forma statement of
operations of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994 gives
effect to the Restructuring as if it had occurred on August 2, 1993.  The
unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company as of July 31, 1994 gives
effect to the Restructuring as if such Restructuring had occurred on July 31,
1994.  The pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations that would have been reported had the
Restructuring occurred on the dates referred to, nor are they necessarily
indicative of the financial position or results of operations to be expected
in the future.  KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the Company's independent auditors,

                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
            (Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except per Share Amounts)

     The following notes set forth an explanation of the assumptions used in
preparing the unaudited pro forma Balance Sheet.  The pro forma adjustments
are based on management's best estimates using information currently
available.

      The pro forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the

shares of $.01 common stock with an approximate market value of $15 per
share.  Market value is based on a multiple of projected operating cash flow
(which is the methodology most often used to value grocery businesses) less

(a)  To reflect the elimination of amortization on previously capitalized
     excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired.

(b)  To reflect the amortization of reorganizational value in excess of
     amounts allocated to net assets totaling $102,521 over 20 years.

     $105,000 Old Subordinated Debentures.

(d)  To reflect the elimination of interest expense on the Old Senior Fixed
     Rate Notes and Old Senior Floating Rate Notes.

(e)  To reflect interest expense on New Senior Fixed Rate Notes of $121,162
     at 11.5% and on New Senior Floating Rate Notes of $22,953 at 9.0%.

(f)  To reflect the elimination of amortization on deferred transaction costs
     related to the Old Credit Agreement and the $105,000 Old Subordinated
     Debentures and the Old Senior Floating Rate Notes and Old Senior Fixed
     Rate Notes.

(g)  To reflect the amortization of transaction costs related to the New Bank
     Credit Agreement.

(h)  To reflect the elimination of undeclared dividends on Old Equity
     Interests.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a
Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee and agent of the corporation, or who is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or enterprise, against actual and reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding if (i) he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and (ii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  Except as ordered by
a court, no indemnification shall be made in connection with any proceeding
brought by or in the right of the Company where the person involved is
adjudged to be liable to the Company.

     Article XV of the Bylaws of the Company provides for indemnification of
the officers and directors of the Company to the full extent permitted by
law, as now in effect or later amended.




                                    II-1<PAGE>
     The Company has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its
directors and executive officers.  The indemnity agreements generally
indemnify such persons against liabilities arising out of their service in
their capacities as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company. 
The Company may from time to time enter into indemnity agreements with
additional individuals who become officers and/or directors of the Company. 

     Section 145 of the DGCL further authorizes a corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify
him under Section 145.  The Company maintains policies insuring the Company's
directors and executive officers against certain liabilities for actions
taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     Article Seventh of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
limits under certain circumstances the liability of the Company's directors
for a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors.  These provisions do not
eliminate the liability of a director (i) for a breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to the declaration of
dividends and purchase or redemption of shares in violation of the DGCL), or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.

     At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a
director or officer of the Company as to which indemnification is being
sought nor is the Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result
in claims for indemnification by any officer, director or employee of the
Company.


Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

     On November 9, 1994, the Company filed with the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization
(the "Prepackaged Plan") pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. 
The Prepackaged Plan was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on December 12,
1994.  Pursuant to the Prepackaged Plan, on December 29, 1994 the Company
issued 2,635,000 shares of Common Stock to the holders of its $105.0 million
14% Subordinated Debentures due February 1, 2001 (the "Old Subordinated
Debentures"), in exchange for the Old Subordinated Debentures, and issued
465,000 shares of its Common Stock to Green Equity Investors, L.P., its
former majority shareholder, in consideration for the sum of $10.0 million. 
In addition, holders of the Company's $85.0 million Senior Floating Rate
Notes due August 2, 1996 and its $50.0 million 12 3/8% Senior Fixed Rate
Notes due February 1, 1999, exchanged such notes for $23.0 million aggregate
principal amount of new Senior Floating Rate Notes due February 1, 2003 and
$121.1 million aggregate principal amount of new 11.5% Senior Fixed Rate
Notes due February 1, 2003 (collectively, the "New Senior Notes").

                                    II-2<PAGE>
     The Common Stock and New Senior Notes issued pursuant to the Prepackaged
Plan were issued in reliance upon Section 1145(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
under an order confirming the Company's Prepackaged Plan.  This section
provides an independent exemption from the registration requirement for the
offer and sale of securities of a debtor issued under a plan of
reorganization.  The requirements for relying upon the exemption under
Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code -- i.e., (i) issuance of securities
under a plan of reorganization; (ii) issuance of securities by the debtor;
and (iii) issuance of securities in exchange or principally in exchange for
claims or interests -- have been satisfied and the Prepackaged Plan was
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Item 17.  Undertakings

     1.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

     2.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

      (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

         (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;

        (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement;

       (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

     (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof; and

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

               (Pursuant to Section 151 of the
              Delaware General Corporation Law)

            ____________________________________

          Kash N' Karry Food Stores, Inc., a corporation
organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware (hereinafter called the "Corporation"),
hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation as required by
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law at a meeting duly
called and held on April 13, 1995:

          RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority granted to
and vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation
(hereinafter called the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") in
accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of
Directors hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and
hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes
the relative rights, preferences, and limitations thereof as
follows:

          Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock:

          Section 1.  Designation and Amount.  The shares of
this series shall be designated as "Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock")
and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be Thirty-Five Thousand (35,000).  Such number of
shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board
of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the
number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less
than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of
shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding
options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any
outstanding securities <PAGE>
issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred
Stock.

          Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.

          (A)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any
     shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any other
     stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A
     Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of
     shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the
     holders of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
     "Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other
     junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and
     if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
     available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in
     cash on the first day of March, June, September and
     December in each year (each such date being referred to
     herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing
     on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the
     first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series
     A Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the
     nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1 or (b)
     subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
     forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all
     cash dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share
     amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or
     other distributions, other than a dividend payable in
     shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding
     shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise),
     declared on the Common Stock since the immediately
     preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or, with respect
     to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the
     first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of
     Series A Preferred Stock.  In the event the Corporation
     shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the
     Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect
     a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
     outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
     otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of
     Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of
     Common Stock, then in each such case the amount to which
     holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
     entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b)
     of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying
     such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
     number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
     after such event and the denominator of which is the
     number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding
     immediately prior to such event.

          (B)  The Corporation shall declare a dividend or
     distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided
     in paragraph (A) of this Section immediately after it
     declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock
     (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock);
     provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution
     shall have been        -2-<PAGE>
declared on the Common Stock during the period between any
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1 per share on
the Series A Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on
such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

          (C)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumula-
     tive on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock
     from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding
     the date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue
     of such shares is prior to the record date for the first
     Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends
     on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of
     issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a
     Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the
     record date for the determination of holders of shares of
     Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly
     dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
     in either of which events such dividends shall begin to
     accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend
     Payment Date.  Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear
     interest.  Dividends paid on the shares of Series A
     Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of
     such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such
     shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share
     basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.  The
     Board of Directors may fix a record date for the
     determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred
     Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or
     distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be
     not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the
     payment thereof.

          Section 3.  Voting Rights.  The holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following voting
rights:

          (A)  Subject to the provision for adjustment
     hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred
     Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all
     matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the
     Corporation.  In the event the Corporation shall at any
     time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock
     payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision
     or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares
     of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by
     payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a
     greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then
     in each such case the number of votes per share to which
     holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
     entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted
     by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of
     which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
     immediately after such event and the denominator of which
     is the number of shares of Common Stock that were
     outstanding immediately prior to such event.
                                   -3-<PAGE>
          (B)  Except as otherwise provided herein, in any
     other Certificate of Designations creating a series of
     Preferred Stock or any similar stock, in the Amended and
     Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
     or by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
     Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any
     other capital stock of the Corporation having general
     voting rights shall vote together as one class on all
     matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the
     Corporation.

          (C)  Except as set forth herein, or as otherwise
     provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
     have no special voting rights and their consent shall not
     be required (except to the extent they are entitled to
     vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for
     taking any corporate action.

          Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.

          (A)  Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends
     or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock
     as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and
     until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions,
     whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred
     Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the
     Corporation shall not:

               (i)  declare or pay dividends, or make any
          other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking
          junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
          dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred
          Stock;

               (ii)  declare or pay dividends, or make any
          other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking
          on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the
          Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid
          ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such
          parity stock on which dividends are payable or in
          arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which
          the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

               (iii)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire
          for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior
          (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dis-
          solution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred
          Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time
          redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any
          such junior stock in exchange for shares of any
          stock of the Corporation ranking junior (as to
          dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or
          winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or

                                   -4-<PAGE>
               (iv)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire
          for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred
          Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity
          with the Series A Preferred Stock, except in ac-
          cordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by
          publication (as determined by the Board of
          Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such
          terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration
          of the respective annual dividend rates and other
          relative rights and preferences of the respective
          series and classes, shall determine in good faith
          will result in fair and equitable treatment among
          the respective series or classes.

          (B)  The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary
     of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for
     consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation
     unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this
     Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at
     such time and in such manner.

          Section 5.  Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series
A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and
cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.  All such
shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part
of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions
and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or in any other
Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred
Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

          Section 6.  Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation, no distribution shall be made (1) to the holders
of shares of stock ranking junior (upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an
amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions
thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment,
provided that the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share,
subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth,
equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be distributed per
share to holders of shares of Common Stock, or (2) to the
holders of shares of stock ranking on a parity (upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A
Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the
Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in propor-
tion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or
winding up.  In the event the Corporation shall at any time
declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination
or consolidation of             - 5- <PAGE>
the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event under the proviso in clause (1)
of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such
amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event
and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common
Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          Section 7.  Consolidation, Merger, etc.  In case the
Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger,
combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common
Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such
case each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same
time be similarly exchanged or changed into an amount per
share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind),
as the case may be, into which or for which each share of
Common Stock is changed or exchanged.  In the event the
Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on
the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect
a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the
preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by
multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately
after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior
to such event.

          Section 8.  No Redemption.  The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

          Section 9.  Rank.  The Series A Preferred Stock shall
rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the
distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class
of Preferred Stock.

          Section 10.  Amendment.  The Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be
amended in any manner which would materially alter or change
the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A
Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together
as a single class.

                                                 [Execution copy]

                     ARTICLE 3:  TRANSITION

3.1  Overview.

     There will be a Transition Period which may not be extended by
the parties.  During the Transition Period, GSI will, with the
assistance of Kash n' Karry, be responsible for managing the MIS
Department and effecting the Transition; provided, however, that
Kash n' Karry will make available to GSI all resources and
personnel necessary to perform such services, including, without
limitation, the Applications Software and Systems Software; and
provided, further, that if a disaster occurs during the Transition
Period and if GSI is not at fault, then GSI will be responsible
only for putting into effect Kash n' Karry's existing disaster
recovery plan to the best of GSI's ability.

     During the Transition Period, the parties will commence and
complete a phased Transition of the necessary staff and resources
from Kash n' Karry to GSI as described in (i) this Article 3 and
(ii) in a written transition plan to be mutually agreed upon by the
parties and attached hereto as Schedule N (the "Transition Plan"),
so that, at the end of the Transition Period all such resources and
personnel necessary to enable GSI to adequately perform the
Services, except for Retained Contracts, if any, shall be
transferred to GSI on or before the Closing Date.  Kash n' Karry
will cooperate with GSI in accomplishing all aspects of the
Transition, including the commission of the resources necessary to
complete the Transition during the Transition Period.  GSI hereby
agrees to use all reasonable efforts during the Transition Period
to cause the phased Transition of the necessary staff and resources
from Kash n' Karry to GSI as described in this Article 3 and in the
Transition Plan to occur with as little disruption to the business
operations of Kash n' Karry as is possible under the circumstances.

Kash n' Karry agrees to cooperate and assist GSI in completing the
Transition described in this Article 3 and the Transition Plan by
devoting appropriate resources to such Transition.

3.2  Staff.

(a)  Kash n' Karry will use reasonable efforts to maintain staffing
     of the Data Network and Data Center during the Transition
     Period; provided, however, that:

     (1)  GSI acknowledges that Kash n' Karry may lose staff during
          the Transition Period, and

     (2)  Kash n' Karry acknowledges that a loss of staff generally
          or loss of certain critical employees may affect
          completion of the Transition within 30 days after the
          Effective Date.

     Within 10 days after the Effective Date, GSI or its
     Subcontractors will offer, or cause to be offered, employment
     to those Kash n' Karry employees listed on Schedule O (the
     "Affected Employees").  Subject to the provisions of Section
     3.2(b), such employment will become effective on the Closing
     Date.  All such employment will be at will, and nothing in
     this Agreement shall be construed as an obligation on either
     Kash n' Karry or GSI to employ the Affected Employees for a
     definite term.

(b)  GSI or its Subcontractors will hire those Affected Employees
     receiving offers who:

     (1)  are employed by Kash n' Karry as of the date the offer is
          made,

     (2)  meet GSI's or its Subcontractors' customary pre-
          employment screening procedures for health and drug
          testing and accuracy of background information, and

     (3)  accept the offer of employment from GSI or its
          Subcontractors within ten days from the date the offer is
          made.

     Affected Employees meeting each of the above conditions and
     hired by GSI or its Subcontractors shall be known as the
     "Transferred Employees."  On or before the Closing Date, Kash
     n' Karry will pay to such Transferred Employees all monies
     owed to them  by reason of their employment with Kash n'
     Karry, on a prorata basis as of the Closing Date.  GSI shall
     indemnify and hold Kash n' Karry harmless from any Losses
     incurred by Kash n' Karry with respect to the Transferred
     Employees caused by or arising directly or indirectly from
     actions or omissions of GSI on or after the Closing Date. 
     Kash n' Karry shall indemnify and hold GSI harmless from any
     Losses incurred by GSI with respect to the Transferred

                                    10<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     Employees caused by or arising directly or indirectly from
     actions or omissions of Kash n' Karry before the Closing Date.

(c)  During the Transition Period, all Affected Employees remaining
     on Kash n' Karry's payroll shall perform their duties under
     the direction and control of Kash n' Karry, and will be
     treated as Kash n' Karry employees for all purposes; provided,
     however, that nothing herein shall be interpreted so as to
     relieve GSI of its obligations to provide the Services as of
     the Commencement Date in accordance with this Agreement.

(d)  Replacements for the Affected Employees who choose to leave
     Kash n' Karry's employ during the Transition Period shall be
     selected by GSI as it deems necessary, at GSI's expense and as
     GSI's employees, and GSI shall pay (at its expense) all salary
     and benefits for such replacements.

(e)  Each offer of employment to an Affected Employee shall include
     an initial base salary at least equal to the base salary each
     such Affected Employee currently receives from Kash n' Karry,
     and a benefits package which is substantially similar to that
     currently received by such employees while employed by Kash n'
     Karry; provided, however, that titles of Affected Employees
     may, in GSI's sole judgment, vary.

(f)  During the Transition Period: 

     (1)  Denise Matthys will act as MIS Coordinator and report to
          Tony Petrillo or Kash n' Karry's successor CEO,

     (2)  John Patrick will work for Kash n' Karry in the spirit of
          joining GSI on the Closing Date, and will be the GSI
          Account Executive, and

     (3)  GSI will report directly to Tony Petrillo, or Kash n'
          Karry's successor CEO.

(g)  Kash n' Karry will appoint "champions" (department heads,
     director level or above), who will interact as focal point
     with GSI for any information services business domain, e.g.,
     for business functions, business specifications writing, and
     department organizational issues. 

3.3  Transfer of Assets and Contracts.

(a)  On the Closing Date, Kash n' Karry shall transfer to GSI all
     of the Assets, and GSI shall assume the obligations of Kash n'
     Karry under the Contracts.  Without limitation of the
     foregoing, on the Closing Date, Kash n' Karry shall execute
     and deliver to GSI a general bill of sale and such other
                                    11<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     instruments of conveyance as may be appropriate to convey to
     GSI all of the right, title and interest of Kash n' Karry in
     the Assets, and an instrument of assignment and assumption
     with respect to each of the Contracts (the "Assignment
     Instruments"), and GSI shall execute and deliver to Kash n'
     Karry the Assignment Instruments.  Kash n' Karry shall retain,
     and shall not transfer to GSI, the Kash n' Karry Machines, the
     Lines, and any and all proprietary information and data
     generated by Kash n' Karry in the operation of its business.

(b)  As of the Closing Date, GSI will be responsible for managing
     and performing all of Kash n' Karry's obligations under the
     Contracts arising on or after the Closing Date, to the extent
     that such obligations:

     (1)  are performable by GSI (as opposed to Kash n' Karry);
          provided, however, that GSI agrees to similarly perform
          any obligations contained in any Contract that are
          obligations of Kash n' Karry.  For example, and not by
          way of limitation, if Kash n' Karry has agreed in a
          Contract that Kash n' Karry will keep certain information
          regarding such Contract confidential, Kash n' Karry shall
          not be relieved of such obligation by this Agreement but
          GSI shall also perform such obligation in accordance with
          its terms; and

     (2)  were disclosed to GSI on or before the Closing Date;

     provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section
     shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an assignment or
     assumption of the Contracts prior to the Closing Date;
     provided, further, however, that GSI will not be responsible
     for any illegal or pirated Applications Software or Systems
     Software, or balloon payments accruing prior to the Closing
     Date.

(c)  Kash n' Karry warrants that all obligations with respect to
     the Contracts accruing prior to the Closing Date will be
     satisfied.  Kash n' Karry shall, upon the written request of
     GSI from time to time during the Term, terminate any Contracts
     and GSI shall reimburse Kash n' Karry for any termination
     charges or penalties; provided, however, that Kash n' Karry
     will make its best reasonable efforts to maintain such charges
     or penalties as low as possible.  GSI shall indemnify and hold
     Kash n' Karry harmless from any and all Losses caused by or
     arising out of any such requested termination and shall
     further indemnify and hold Kash n' Karry harmless from any
     failure of GSI to perform any or all of GSI's obligations
     under the Contracts in the manner described in this Section
     3.3 from and after the Closing Date.  Kash n' Karry shall
                                    12<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     indemnify and hold harmless GSI from any and all Losses caused
     by or arising out of any failure of Kash n' Karry to perform
     any or all of Kash n' Karry's obligations under the Contracts
     prior to the Closing Date.

(d)  In its sole discretion GSI may, at its expense, obtain from
     sources satisfactory to GSI products or services to replace
     those covered by any Contract which either expires by its
     terms during the Term of this Agreement or is terminated by
     GSI in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.3(c). In
     either such event, GSI shall comply fully with any obligations
     of Kash n' Karry regarding such termination or expiration as
     described in this Article 3.  Any such replacement and/or
     termination shall not relieve GSI from its obligations to
     perform the Services.

3.4  Required Consents and Retained Contracts.

(a)  Kash n' Karry shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
     all Required Consents to the assignment to, and assumption by,
     GSI of the Assets, or to otherwise enable GSI to use the
     Applications Software, the Systems Software, the Building, the
     Leased Assets, and services provided under the Contracts. 
     Kash n' Karry shall bear the costs, if any, of obtaining all
     such Required Consents; provided, however, that if Kash n'
     Karry reasonably determines that the cost of obtaining any
     particular Required Consent is prohibitive, then Kash n' Karry
     may elect to designate such contract as a Retained Contract. 
     In the event that any Required Consent is not obtained with
     respect to any given Contract, then, unless and until such
     Required Consent is obtained, the parties shall cooperate with
     each other in achieving a reasonable alternative arrangement
     for Kash n' Karry to continue to process its work with minimum
     interference to its business operations.  

(b)  If Kash n' Karry and GSI agree prior to the Closing Date that
     Kash n' Karry will not assign certain Contracts, e.g., due to
     costs associated with assigning the Contract, then the parties
     will amend Schedule L to include such Contracts as Retained
     Contracts.  During the Term, and to the extent permitted by
     law and the vendor, GSI, acting as Kash n' Karry's agent, will
     manage, administer and maintain the Retained Contracts and
     will have full use of the equipment and Applications Software
     covered thereby, including for other clients' use.  With Kash
     n' Karry's consent, GSI may modify, renew or terminate the
     Retained Contracts, and Kash n' Karry will pay any related
     fees or charges, except to the extent the fees or charges are
     caused by GSI's negligence or willful acts in managing the
     Retained Contract.  Upon receipt of Requisite Consent to the
     assignment of a Retained Contract, or otherwise with the
                                    13<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]
     approval of Kash n' Karry, GSI may request Kash n' Karry to
     assign such Retained Contract to GSI.  

(c)  GSI will promptly notify Kash n' Karry in writing of any
     breach, fraud or misuse involving a Retained Contract.   

3.5  Agency and Disbursements.

     Beginning on the Closing Date and for so long as no Monetary
Event of Default by Kash n' Karry shall have occurred and be
continuing, GSI will pay, fully and on time, the lessors, vendors
and suppliers identified in all of the Contracts.  Subject to its
obligation to pay applicable termination charges and its
obligations to indemnify Kash n' Karry in accordance under Section
3.3, GSI may cancel, substitute, or change such lessors, vendors or
suppliers as it chooses so long as GSI continues to perform the
Services in the manner required by this Agreement.

3.6  Joint Verification.

     During the Transition Period, GSI and Kash n' Karry reserve
the right to inventory, validate and update the Supporting Data and
any other material information that is reflected in or omitted from
the attached Schedules, and more particularly, the MIS Budget,
which was used by GSI as a basis for its offer to Kash n' Karry. 
Any changes shall be mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. 
If material discrepancies are detected during the Transition
Period, there shall be a fair adjustment made, which will be
confirmed in writing by the parties.  Prior to the Closing Date,
the parties agree to negotiate in good faith any adjustments to the
Annual Services Charge attributable to any Retained Contracts,
costs related to assigning the Assets, commitments, postponed or
retroactive payments, material costs and liabilities not disclosed
in the Supporting Data, costs reallocated between the parties
pursuant to negotiations, etc.

3.7  Other Obligations.

     Beginning on the earlier of the Effective Date or the Closing
Date, and except in the case of emergency, Kash n' Karry will not
enter into any new or amend any existing agreements or
arrangements, written or oral, affecting or impacting upon Affected
Employees (provided, however, that GSI acknowledges that Affected
Employees may leave Kash n' Karry's employ) or the Assets without
the prior written consent of GSI, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Kash n' Karry acknowledges and
agrees that, notwithstanding any consent granted or refused by GSI
as described above, any new or amended agreements or arrangements
may impact GSI's cost in providing the Services and therefore may
require an adjustment to the Annual Services Charge.  Any such
adjustment shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing.

                                                 [Execution copy]
3.8  Documentation.

     Prior to the Closing Date, Kash n' Karry will provide GSI with
all documentation in its possession relating to the Assets and any
other resource to be used by GSI in rendering the Services.  Where
no such documentation exists, Kash n' Karry will provide GSI with
all information reasonably available to Kash n' Karry.  After the
Closing Date, this documentation shall still be considered by Kash
n' Karry as reasonable, and GSI will have no specific obligation to
improve it.

3.9  Service Charges During Transition Period.

     During the Transition Period, Kash n' Karry will pay GSI its
monthly compensation, based on the monthly prorated Annual Services
Charge, in arrears, after deducting all costs and expenses
associated with the Agreement paid or incurred by Kash n' Karry
during the Transition Period.  Prior to the Closing Date, the
parties agree to negotiate in good faith any adjustments to the
Annual Services Charge attributable to any Retained Contracts,
costs relating to assigning the Assets, material costs and
liabilities not disclosed in the MIS Budget, and any costs
reallocated between the parties pursuant to negotiations during the
Transition Period.  On or before the Closing Date, a reconciliation
and substantiation of all costs and expenses paid by Kash n' Karry
during the Transition Period will be made.

3.10 Closing of Transition Period.

(a)  Kash n' Karry may terminate this Agreement, in its sole
     discretion, at any time prior to the Closing Date by
     delivering written notice to GSI executed by the Chief
     Executive Officer of Kash n' Karry, subject to the approval of
     Kash n' Karry's Board of Directors, which approval will not be
     unreasonably withheld.  If Kash n' Karry terminates this
     Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.10, it will promptly
     reimburse GSI its reasonable costs and expenses paid during
     the Transition Period in performing its obligations under this
     Agreement, including any costs relating to any Machines, End
     Users Machines, Applications Software and Systems Software
     purchased by GSI for the Services and the Projects; provided,
     further, that GSI will transfer to Kash n' Karry all of GSI's
     rights, title and interest in property or rights to use
     property associated with costs paid by Kash n' Karry.

(b)  GSI may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the
     Closing Date by delivering written notice to Kash n' Karry
     executed by Philippe Guionnet, if but only if: (1) there is a


                                    15<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     newly-discovered specific liability or cost that was not
     disclosed in the MIS Budget and its associated Supporting
     Data, and (2) Kash n' Karry elects not to pay the newly-
     discovered liability or cost, and (3) Kash n' Karry and GSI
     cannot arrange to pay, indemnify against, work out or
     otherwise avoid the cost or liability.  

(c)  If either party elects to terminate this Agreement prior to
     the Closing Date, pursuant to this Section 3.10, then, until
     the earlier of the engagement by Kash n' Karry of a successor
     vendor to perform the Services, or the expiration of four
     months from the delivery by the terminating party of the
     written notice of termination:  (1) GSI will continue to
     manage the MIS Department within the Current Parameter, and on
     the other terms and conditions of this Article 3, (2) John
     Patrick will remain employed at Kash n' Karry at GSI's cost,
     and (3) the parties agree not to take legal action against
     each other or their employees based on the decision to
     terminate this Agreement.

                ARTICLE 4:  GSI RESPONSIBILITIES

4.1  GSI Personnel.

(a)  GSI will designate, prior to the Closing Date, a Project
     Executive to whom all of Kash n' Karry's communications may be
     addressed and who has the authority to act for and bind GSI
     and its Subcontractors in connection with all aspects of this
     Agreement.

(b)  Before assigning an individual to the position of Project
     Executive, whether the individual is initially assigned or is
     subsequently assigned, GSI shall: 

     (1)  notify Kash n' Karry in writing, at least 30 days in
          advance of the proposed assignment,

     (2)  introduce the individual to appropriate Kash n' Karry
          representatives, and 

     (3)  consistent with GSI's personnel practices, provide Kash
          n' Karry with any other information about the individual
          reasonably requested by Kash n' Karry.

     GSI agrees to discuss with Kash n' Karry any objections Kash
     n' Karry may have to such assignment, and attempt to resolve
     such concerns on a mutually agreeable basis.  GSI agrees that
     if Kash n' Karry shall have reasonable and good faith
     objections to any proposed Project Executive which cannot be

                                    16<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     resolved by the parties, GSI shall propose a different
     individual to serve as Project Executive, and shall go through
     the process and provide the information set forth above
     regarding such individual.

(c)  In the event of a change in a Project Executive, GSI is
     permitted to hire an interim Project Executive pending
     completion of the procedure set forth in this Section 4.1(a)
     with respect to the selection of a Project Executive.

(d)  GSI reserves the right to employ Subcontractors to perform
     part (but not all) of its obligations hereunder; provided,
     that the majority of employees performing the Services will be
     employees of GSI.  GSI agrees that all Subcontractors employed
     by GSI shall: 

     (1)  work under GSI's guidelines, and as to each such
          Subcontractor, be bound by all of GSI's obligations
          contained herein regarding confidentiality; and

     (2)  follow the reasonable workplace rules of conduct of Kash
          n' Karry.

(e)  In the event that Kash n' Karry reasonably and in good faith
     determines that it is not in the best interests of Kash n'
     Karry for any GSI employee or Subcontractor to continue to
     perform any of the Services, then Kash n' Karry shall give GSI
     written notice, specifying the reasons for its position, and
     requesting that the employee or Subcontractor be replaced. 
     Promptly after its receipt of such notice, GSI shall
     investigate the matters stated in the notice and conclude such
     investigation within 30 days following GSI's receipt of Kash
     n' Karry's notice.  If it determines that Kash n' Karry's
     concerns are reasonable, GSI shall ensure that such employee
     or Subcontractor no longer performs any of the Services for
     Kash n' Karry.  

(f)  GSI agrees that Kash n' Karry shall have no obligation of any
     kind or character to any such Subcontractor, and GSI hereby
     agrees to indemnify and hold Kash n' Karry harmless from any
     and all Losses caused by or arising from the claims of any
     Subcontractor against Kash n' Karry or the claims of any
     person asserting a claim against Kash n' Karry by or through
     the Subcontractor.  GSI further agrees that the use of any
     Subcontractor shall not in any way relieve GSI of all or any
     part of its obligations hereunder.

4.2  Standards.

(a)  For so long as no Event of Default by Kash n' Karry has
     occurred and is continuing, GSI agrees to provide the Services
     in accordance with this Agreement.  The parties agree that
     nothing contained in this Section 4.2(a) is intended to waive,
     limit or release the provisions of Sections 11.3, 11.4 or 17.3
     hereof.

(b)  GSI agrees that its performance of the Services will meet or
     exceed each of its obligations under this Agreement,
     including, but not limited to, meeting or exceeding the
     services and functions established in the Current Parameter;
     provided, however, so long as GSI fulfills such obligations,
     GSI has no obligation to: (1) retain certain employees,
     (2) employ a minimum number of employees, (3) retain the Unix
     excess capacity or functions, or (4) maintain each and every
     component of the computing capacity reflected in the Current
     Parameter.

(c)  If GSI stops providing Services that are critical to Kash n'
     Karry's core operations, Kash n' Karry is entitled to do
     whatever is necessary to maintain the Current Parameter and
     the Projects, and GSI will pay or reimburse Kash n' Karry for
     any additional reasonable and substantiated costs paid or
     incurred by Kash n' Karry in covering the default provided
     Kash n' Karry has exhausted the dispute resolution procedures
     set forth in this Agreement.  

4.3  Efficient Use of Resources.

     GSI shall take all commercially reasonable actions to
efficiently use resources that will become chargeable to Kash n'
Karry under this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(a)  making schedule adjustments (consistent with Kash n' Karry's
     priorities and schedules for the Services and GSI's obligation
     to meet the Current Parameter);

(b)  delaying the performance of noncritical functions within
     established limits; and

     pursuant to Section 4.8(a) hereof, be paid by Kash n' Karry. 
     GSI agrees to maintain all Systems Software so that there will
     be no obsolete Systems Software.

(b)  In the event that during the Term Kash n' Karry becomes aware
     of any commercially available, significant, technological
     advancement in Kash n' Karry's industry or in the information
     systems industry that, if implemented by GSI with Kash n'
     Karry's investment, would materially reduce GSI's overall Kash
     n' Karry-related investment and/or the net cost of providing
     the Services to Kash n' Karry (excluding Committed Costs),
     Kash n' Karry may notify GSI of any such advancement.  GSI and
     Kash n' Karry agree to then negotiate promptly and in good
     faith with reasonable diligence to determine (i) if there is
     mutually beneficial advantage in implementing such technology;
     and (ii) the reduction of the charges payable by Kash n' Karry
     under this Agreement that would result from the implementation
     of such technology; provided, however, GSI shall not be
     required to negotiate a reduction of its fees under this
     Section 4.4(b) more frequently than once per calendar year.  

4.5  Management and Control.

(a)  Within 90 days after the Closing Date, GSI shall provide to
     Kash n' Karry a written procedures manual describing the
     business processes and procedures relating to the Services
     (the "Procedures Manual").  At a minimum, the Procedures
     Manual will reasonably describe the Platforms and Applications

     Software being used, and include the documentation (i.e.,
     training guides, action plans, implementation plans/goals,
     communication plans for issue management, business plans,
     etc.) for such Platforms and Applications Software.  The
     Procedures Manual shall be written in nontechnical language
     that can be understood by the Kash n' Karry employees working
     with GSI in connection with this Agreement.

     (1)  The Procedures Manual shall be provided to Kash n' Karry
          for review and comment and any reasonable comments or
          suggestions of Kash n' Karry will be incorporated
          therein, and prior to being considered final by the
          parties, shall be subject to the written approval of Kash
          n' Karry, which approval shall not be unreasonably
          withheld or delayed.

     (2)  Thereafter, within 90 days after the completion of any
          new projects or modifications to the Platforms,
                                    19<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

          Applications Software or Services described in the
          Procedures Manual, GSI shall update the Procedures Manual
          to reflect any changes in the operations or procedures
          described therein; provided, however, that any changes
          thereto which will affect End Users shall first be
          communicated to Kash n' Karry in writing and shall be
          subject to the prior written approval of Kash n' Karry,
          which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     (3)  GSI shall perform all Services in accordance with the
          terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Procedures
          Manual.

(b)  Within 90 days after the Closing Date, GSI shall prepare and
     provide to Kash n' Karry written procedures describing the
     processes by which changes will be made to Applications
     Software affecting End Users (the "Change Control
     Procedures").  The Change Control Procedures shall provide, at
     a minimum, as follows:

     (1)  GSI will make no change, including modifications to any
          Schedules, which may adversely affect Kash n' Karry's
          overall operating costs, the business operations of Kash
          n' Karry or the amounts payable by Kash n' Karry to GSI
          hereunder, without first obtaining the prior written
          approval of Kash n' Karry, which may be reasonably
          withheld by Kash n' Karry.

     (2)  From and after the first anniversary of the Effective
          Date, GSI agrees to maintain, as part of a standard
          maintenance contract, reasonable currency for releases
          and versions of Applications Software used to service the
          Current Parameter and the Projects.  For purposes of this
          Article, reasonable currency shall mean (A) as to
          Applications Software, that the new release or version is
          installed not later than 12 months after the date the
          licensor makes such release or version commercially
          available, except that a new version or release may be
          installed later than 12 months after commercial release
          if mutually agreed by the parties, and (B) as to Systems
          Software, that the existing Systems Software is not
          obsolete.  Kash n' Karry may contact software vendors
          directly for the purpose of obtaining information about
          new releases and versions of Applications Software, but
          GSI will not be obligated to inform Kash n' Karry of the
          new releases and versions.

     (3)  GSI agrees that Kash n' Karry may, upon written notice to
          GSI, delay or prohibit implementation of a new version or
          release of Applications Software.  Kash n' Karry
                                    20<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]
          acknowledges that Kash n' Karry's decision to prohibit or
          delay such implementation may impact GSI's ability to
          meet its obligations under this Agreement with respect to
          such Applications Software, including the Current
          Parameter.  GSI agrees that, in the event such a delay or
          prohibition is requested by Kash n' Karry, GSI will
          provide written notice to Kash n' Karry if, in the
          reasonable judgment of GSI, as a result of such a
          decision (A) maintenance and support will be lost for any
          back level version or release of Applications Software
          because of a discontinuation thereof by the software
          vendor or (B) GSI's ability to provide the Services will
          be affected in a materially adverse manner.  In the event
          GSI shall deliver such notice, the parties agree to
          negotiate in good faith regarding GSI's concerns.

     (4)  GSI will assure that all programs are moved from the
          application development and test environments to the
          production environment in a controlled and documented
          manner.  Kash n' Karry shall have the right to reasonably
          audit, control and approve all new Applications Software
          in the spirit that they are in conformity with Kash n'
          Karry's written requirements given to GSI prior to their
          promotion into production.

     (5)  GSI will schedule all Data Center and Data Network
          projects affecting Applications Software so as not to
          unreasonably interrupt Kash n' Karry's business
          operations.  GSI will consult with Kash n' Karry prior to
          initiating such projects.

     (6)  GSI will prepare monthly, in writing, a rolling quarterly
          "look ahead" schedule for ongoing and planned Data Center
          and Data Network changes affecting Applications Software.

          The status of such changes will be monitored and tracked
          against the applicable schedule.

     (7)  Subject to Section 4.5(b)(1) and 4.5(b)(5), at least 24
          hours before making any change to the Data Center, the
          Data Network or the Applications Software that would
          affect End Users, GSI shall notify Kash n' Karry in
          writing of such change.  Any such notice shall describe
          in reasonable detail the reasons for such change and the
          effects on End Users as a result thereof.  Except in the
          case of emergency, no change to Applications Software
          shall be made which shall constitute a breach of or
          default under the License governing such Applications
          Software.  GSI shall indemnify and hold Kash n' Karry
          harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be
          caused by or arise as a result of any such emergency
                                    21<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

          change, unless such emergency change is requested by Kash
          n' Karry.  If a change to Applications Software is
          requested by Kash n' Karry, then GSI is required give
          only oral notice prior to effecting the change.

          The Change Control Procedures shall be provided to Kash
     n' Karry for review and comment and any reasonable comments or
     suggestions of Kash n' Karry will be incorporated therein, and
     prior to being considered final by the parties, all portions
     thereof shall be subject to the written approval of Kash n'
     Karry, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
     delayed.

(c)  Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the parties will
     mutually determine an appropriate set of periodic reports
     regarding GSI's performance of the Services to be issued by
     GSI to Kash n' Karry.  At a minimum, these reports will
     include the following:

     (1)  a monthly performance report, in a form and with content
          mutually established by the parties, documenting GSI's
          performance with respect to this Agreement and the
          Current Parameter.  In addition, GSI will provide Kash n'
          Karry with such documentation and other information as
          may be reasonably requested by Kash n' Karry from time to
          time in order to verify that GSI's performance of the
          Services is in compliance with this Agreement and the
          Current Parameter;

     (2)  a monthly project schedule report containing the

4.15 Audits/Compliance with Law.

     GSI will assist Kash n' Karry in meeting its audit (including
technical contract audit) and regulatory requirements, including,
but not limited to, providing access to the Data Center and all
Kash n' Karry data maintained or contained therein to enable
Kash n' Karry, its employees, agents, auditors, Subcontractors and
examiners (excluding direct competitors of GSI, e.g., Arthur
Anderson) to conduct reasonably appropriate audits and examinations
of Kash n' Karry's operations and the operations of GSI relating to
the performance of the Services to verify: 

(a)  that GSI is exercising reasonable procedures to control the
     resources utilized by GSI in providing Services to Kash n'
     Karry; 

(b)  that Services are being provided in accordance with this
     Agreement, including but not limited to, the Current
     Parameter; and

(c)  that GSI is exercising reasonable policies and procedures to

     Kash n' Karry's auditors can successfully opine on the
     accuracy of the information used to compile Kash n' Karry's
     books and records.

     Such access will require 48 hour notice to GSI and will be
provided at reasonable hours, provided that any audit does not
interfere with GSI's ability to perform the Services in accordance
with this Agreement, including but not limited to, the Current
Parameter.  GSI will provide access only to information reasonably
necessary to perform the audit.  GSI shall not allow Kash n' Karry,
its employees, agents, Subcontractors, examiners or auditors access
to other GSI customers' or GSI's proprietary data.  GSI will also
assist Kash n' Karry's employees, agents, Subcontractors, examiners
or auditors as may be reasonably required in testing Kash n'
Karry's data files and programs, including, without limitation,
installing and running audit software.  If requested by Kash n'
Karry's external auditors or required by law (e.g., for SEC or
other governmental agency reporting purposes), GSI will assist Kash
n' Karry in responding to those requests and requirements,
including copying.  All costs and expenses related to such audits
will be fully borne by Kash n' Karry.

     During the Term, GSI shall comply (and shall cause its
Subcontractors to comply) with all applicable laws or regulations
in the providing of the Services and in performing its obligations
under this Agreement, including (subject to Section 6.3) making any
changes and taking other actions which are necessary in order to
maintain compliance with applicable laws or regulations.  Kash n'

Karry may submit additional findings or recommendations to GSI for
its consideration, and GSI shall consider such findings, and advise
Kash n' Karry in writing and in reasonable detail whether or not
such findings and recommendations have been accepted.  In each such
case, Kash n' Karry will pay or reimburse GSI, upon demand, for all
reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred by GSI in
complying with any applicable laws or regulations that are related
to Kash n' Karry's business.

                ARTICLE 6:  CHARGES AND EXPENSES

6.1  Annual Services Charge.

     For so long as no Event of Default by GSI shall have occurred
and be continuing hereunder, Kash n' Karry agrees to pay the Annual
                                    30<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

Services Charge specified in Schedule A for each year of the Term,
together with the other amounts as described in this Article 6.   

6.2  New Entities.

     If Kash n' Karry acquires any additional Affiliate (or
significant new assets) during the Term, and Kash n' Karry desires
that GSI provide Services for such Affiliate or new assets, subject
to additional charges if acceptance of such responsibilities would
require New Services as described in Section 6.3, then, upon
written request from Kash n' Karry, GSI will provide such Services
in accordance with this Agreement.  Prior to the provision of such
New Services, GSI will notify Kash n' Karry in writing of the
amount of additional charges for such New Services and GSI agrees
that Kash n' Karry may withdraw its request for such New Services
if such withdrawal is delivered in writing not later than ten days
after receipt of GSI's notification as to additional charges.  GSI
reserves the right to decline to provide New Services pursuant to
this Section 6.2 if Kash n' Karry's new business differs from its
business as of the Effective Date.

6.3  New Services and Extension of Current Parameter.

(a)  If Kash n' Karry's demand for Services would exceed the
     Current Parameter and the Projects ("New Services"), GSI or
     Kash n' Karry will promptly inform each other, and GSI will
     bill Kash n' Karry fair and justified amounts corresponding to
     such excess variation.  

(b)  GSI will offer New Services to Kash n' Karry at prices not
     exceeding the lowest prices then being made available by GSI
     to its other customers engaged in retail food store sales in
     the United States for similar services, but Kash n' Karry will
     be under no obligation to purchase at those prices.  GSI will
     have the first right to bid on New Services, and if GSI's bid
     is competitive and properly reflects the synergy existing
     between Kash n' Karry and GSI, then Kash n' Karry will engage
     GSI to perform the New Services.  

(c)  If Kash n' Karry requests that GSI cooperate with other
     vendors whose products or services are purchased by Kash n'
     Karry and which interface with the Current Parameter and
     Projects, GSI shall so cooperate, subject to security and
     confidentiality requirements; provided, however, GSI may
     charge Kash n' Karry a fair and justified amount for such
     services.  GSI, however, will bear no responsibility for
     Losses resulting directly or indirectly from the interference
     of any software and/or hardware and/or service of whatever
     nature ordered by Kash n' Karry from a third party vendor and
     which would in any manner adversely impact upon the Services.
                                    31<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

(d)  GSI's books and records will be made available to Kash n'
     Karry's independent auditors in order for the auditors to
     confirm whether the prices offered pursuant to this Article
     are in fact not in excess of the lowest prices then made
     available by GSI to its other customers engaged in retail food
     store sales in the United States for similar services;
     provided, however, that Kash n' Karry's auditors shall not
     disclose to Kash n' Karry the specific, actual prices
     disclosed in GSI's books and records.

6.4  Substantial Reduction of Resources.

(a)  If, during the Term, Kash n' Karry experiences significant
     changes in the scope, nature or volume of its business, or if
     Kash n' Karry elects to change the manner or method by which
     Kash n' Karry does business (including, but not limited to, an
     election by Kash n' Karry to effect a sale or other
     disposition of material assets, subject to the requirements of
     Section 18.13), which have or may have the effect of causing
     a decrease in the quantity or quality of the Services that
     will be needed by Kash n' Karry, then Kash n' Karry may
     request GSI to reduce the level of Services (or to reduce any
     of the standards set forth in the Current Parameter) and the
     Annual Service Charges to Kash n' Karry under this Agreement
     as set forth below; provided, however, that Kash n' Karry
     agrees that: (i) in no event shall the Annual Services Charge
     be reduced to a level less than the Committed Costs; and (ii)
     any such reduction must not adversely impact upon GSI's
     ability to reasonably perform its obligations under the
     Agreement.

(b)  In such event, GSI shall estimate, in writing and in good
     faith, the aggregate decreased charges to Kash n' Karry from
     GSI's ceasing to perform such Services and shall provide such
     written estimate to Kash n' Karry (together with notice of any
     consequential change to the Current Parameter), no later than
     30 days from GSI's receipt of Kash n' Karry's notice.  Kash n'
     Karry, upon receipt of such estimate, may then elect by
     written notice given to GSI within 15 days following receipt
     of GSI's written estimate to: (i) withdraw its request for a
     cessation of part of the Services; (ii) implement such partial
     cessation of Services based upon the estimate of GSI; or (iii)
     request that GSI negotiate with Kash n' Karry regarding the
     aggregate reduction in the Annual Service Charges due to GSI
     from Kash n' Karry hereunder as a result of the partial
     cessation of Services.  If Kash n' Karry shall elect to
     request GSI to negotiate, the parties shall promptly negotiate
     in good faith regarding the amount of such reduction.

6.5  Taxes.

(a)  The Annual Services Charge payable by Kash n' Karry is

     furnished or used by GSI in performing or furnishing the
     Services, and Kash n' Karry shall not be required to pay the
     taxes described in this Section 6.5(a), which are the sole
     expense of GSI, it being understood that GSI is the ultimate
     user of all Assets, including, but not limited to, its
     purchased and leased tangible personal property and real
     property used to provide the Services.  It is the parties'
     specific intent that: (1) the Services consist solely of
     professional and personal service information transactions,
     (2) all written reports or data issued or made available by
     GSI to Kash n' Karry are of an individual and unique nature,
     are produced and provided to Kash n' Karry, and shall not be

     parties, (3) Kash n' Karry shall have no right to access GSI's
     computers, compile programs, perform computations, enter data,
     or control any aspect of the processing of data, and all
     functions to provide the Current Parameter and other Services
     hereunder shall be performed and controlled by GSI.

(b)  In the event that a sales, use, excise or services tax is
     assessed on the provision of the Services (or any New
     Services), or any portion thereof, by GSI to Kash n' Karry or
     on any of GSI's charges to Kash n' Karry under this Agreement,
     however levied or assessed, by any federal, state or local
     governmental entity in any jurisdiction in which Kash n' Karry
     has a facility which is receiving Services from GSI (Kash n'
     Karry facilities "receiving services from GSI" shall not
     include the Data Center or any non-Kash n' Karry owned or
     leased location from which GSI elects to provide the
     Services), Kash n' Karry will be responsible for and pay the
     amount of any such tax.  Kash n' Karry will also be
     responsible for paying all personal property or use taxes due
     on or with respect to Kash n' Karry Machines.  Upon the
     request of Kash n' Karry, GSI shall separately invoice all
     charges that are determined to be taxable and shall separately
     state the tax thereon.   GSI shall not be required to pay the
     taxes described in this Section 6.5(b), which are the sole
     expense of Kash n' Karry.

(c)  Each party shall bear sole responsibility for all taxes,
     assessments and other real property-related levies on its
     owned or leased real property.

                                                 [Execution copy]

(d)  Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5(a) and (b), the
     parties agree to perform all acts reasonably requested by the
     other party to minimize such party's tax liability to the
     extent legally permissible.

(e)  Each party shall provide and make available to the other any
     resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state sales
     or use of equipment, materials or services, and other
     exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by
     either party.

(f)  Neither party shall have any obligation of any kind or
     character to pay any income, franchise or similar taxes
     relating to the other party's income or receipts from its
     business operations.

(g)  Upon the request of a party, the other party to this Agreement
     shall explain any taxes paid or payable by such party and
     shall provide sufficient documentation supporting the amount
     of and the payment of all such taxes.

6.6  Other Expenses and Charges.

     Kash n' Karry will be financially responsible for all costs
and expenses associated with its responsibilities specified in
Article 5.  Such costs and expenses are not included within the
Annual Services Charge or any other charges payable by Kash n'

for all costs and expenses incurred in providing the Services or
otherwise associated with its responsibilities specified in this
Agreement, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

first day of each month.  Provided, however, the first installment
of the Annual Services Charge for 1995 will be payable on the
Closing Date, prorated on a per diem basis for the period from and

Kash n' Karry will state separately applicable taxes owed by Kash
n' Karry, if any, itemized by tax jurisdiction in accordance with
Section 6.5(b).  In the event of an interim adjustment to the
Annual Services Charge for a given year pursuant to this Agreement,

on a calendar month basis, and will be prorated for any partial
month, unless specifically stated otherwise in this Agreement.

7.5  Refundable Items.

(a)  Where Kash n' Karry has paid or prepaid rent, maintenance
     fees, or other ongoing charges under any Contract (as opposed
     to any non-periodic payment such as license fees), GSI will

     Karry, that portion of such prepaid expense which is
     attributable to periods on and after the Closing Date.

(b)  If GSI should receive during the Term any refund, credit or
     other rebate in respect of any Contract, which is attributable
     to a period prior to the Closing Date (including, but not

pursuant to this Agreement, Kash n' Karry may, at its option,
obtain payment of such amount from GSI by offsetting any such
amount against the charges otherwise payable to GSI hereunder at
the time any such amount is due and payable to Kash n' Karry.  Kash
n' Karry shall provide evidence in reasonable detail of the basis
for any such offsets, prior to effecting the offset.  In the event
that the parties shall determine that any such offset by Kash n'
Karry was improper, Kash n' Karry shall promptly deliver the amount

          forth in Article 10 of this Agreement, it being agreed by
          the parties that nothing in this Article 9 shall give

          circumstances, to disclose to any person any Confidential
          Information of the other party or to allow the other
          party to disclose any Confidential Information.

          IV and Type V Materials may not, by operation of law, be
          owned by the party to which ownership has been granted
          (as described in this Article 9), each party agrees to
          assign and hereby assigns, without further consideration,
          the ownership of all right, title and interest in all
          U.S. and foreign copyrights, and mask work rights (if
          any) included in such Materials to the other party, and

     (8)  For purposes of this Section 9, a "Derivative Work" shall
          mean a work based on one or more preexisting works,
          including, without limitation, a condensation,
          transformation, expansion or adaptation, which, if
          prepared without authorization of the owner of the
          copyright of such preexisting work, would constitute a
          copyright infringement.

     (9)  This Agreement shall not preclude GSI or Kash n' Karry
          from Developing materials or providing services which are
          competitive to the Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV and
          Type V Materials irrespective of their similarity to
          computer programming code, documentation or other
          materials or services which might be delivered pursuant

          infringe any of the other party's patent rights or
          copyrights.

     (10) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict either
          party from the use of any ideas, concepts, know-how, or
          techniques relating to data processing or network

          develops or discloses under this Agreement, except to the
          extent such use infringes any of either party's patent
          rights or copyrights.  However, except for the licenses
          expressly granted under this Article 9, neither this

          license to either party under any patents or copyrights
          of the other party.

     (11) Upon the expiration of this Agreement in accordance with
          its terms, or, if any, the earlier termination of this
          Agreement, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith
          as to whether any of the materials addressed in this
          Article 9 are Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV and Type

          Materials.

license to use any New GSI Software that is proprietary to GSI at
no cost to Kash n' Karry, and will, at Kash n' Karry's request,
assign, transfer or sublicense to Kash n' Karry any New GSI
Software owned by any third party, in which event Kash n' Karry

          other party;

     provided, however, that neither party will be restricted in

     concepts, know-how and techniques, including, without
     limitation, in the development, manufacturing and marketing of
     data processing or network management products and services

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall
not include information which GSI or Kash n' Karry can demonstrate

     the public domain through no act or omission of the receiving
     party;

     had no further obligations of confidentiality regarding such
     information to the party granting the right to disclose.

It is understood that the receipt of Confidential Information under
this Agreement will not limit or restrict assignment or
reassignment of employees of GSI and Kash n' Karry within or
between the respective parties and their Affiliates; provided,
however, that the parties agree that no such assignment or
reassignment shall allow either party or their employees to
disclose Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement.

     Any additional responsibilities of GSI and Kash n' Karry with
respect to protection of Confidential Information are set forth in

     In the event of any disclosure or loss of Confidential
Information by a receiving party, the receiving party will notify
the furnishing party immediately.

10.6 Limitation.

     GSI will not be responsible for loss or disclosure of any of
the following Confidential Information of Kash n' Karry, except to

     (2)  Migration Services, consisting of the following, provided
          that in providing such migration services, GSI does not
          infringe any third party's rights:

          (A)  unloading the production databases and any other
               proprietary data of Kash n' Karry,

          (B)  delivering tapes of production databases (with
               content listings) to new operations staff, 

          (C)  assisting with the loading of the databases,

          (D)  assisting with the telecommunications turnover,
               and  

          (E)  assisting in the execution of a parallel operation,
               until the effective date of expiration or
               termination of this Agreement. 

     (3)  Post-Migration Services, consisting of the following:

          (A)  answering questions regarding the Services on an
               "as needed" basis, and   

          (B)  turnover of any remaining Kash n' Karry-owned
               reports, proprietary data and documentation still
               in GSI's possession.

(c)  In addition to the specific items listed in Section 11.6(b),
     GSI agrees to take other commercially reasonable actions
     requested by Kash n' Karry within 30 days after the expiration
     or termination of this Agreement to assist Kash n' Karry with
     the orderly transfer of the services, functions and operations
     provided by GSI hereunder to another service provider or Kash
     n' Karry itself; provided, however, that Kash n' Karry
     acknowledges and agrees that GSI is only providing transition
     assistance and is not ultimately responsible or liable for the
     completion of such transfer or its success.  

(d)  Upon Kash n' Karry's written request, GSI shall provide Kash
     n' Karry with additional termination-related services after
     the expiration or termination of this Agreement, which
     services shall be chargeable to Kash n' Karry at GSI's then
     current commercially available rates for such services.     

(e)  If any Termination Assistance provided by GSI requires the
     utilization of additional resources above the then current
     baseline, which GSI would not otherwise have utilized in the
     performance of Services immediately prior to the termination
     or expiration date, Kash n' Karry will pay GSI for such usage
                                    47<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     at GSI's then current commercially available costs for such
     services.

11.7 Other Rights Upon Termination.

(a)  In the event of a termination of this Agreement, and providing
     that Kash n' Karry pays Committed Costs, or, in the case of a
     termination by Kash n' Karry pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof,
     the portion of the Committed Costs specified therein, GSI
     shall sell, license, transfer and assign to Kash n' Karry all
     of its right, title and interest in the Assets acquired from
     Kash n' Karry and the hardware and software acquired by GSI
     during the Term and used in providing the Services to Kash n'
     Karry, and all rights and privileges of GSI under any
     unexpired hardware leases, software licenses and third party
     service contracts, to the extent necessary to allow Kash n'
     Karry to provide or procure an alternate supply source for the
     provision of the Services.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
     any of the leased equipment, software or third party service
     contracts is not used by GSI exclusively for providing
     Services to Kash n' Karry, then GSI shall not be required to
     transfer title thereto to Kash n' Karry, but shall obtain such
     accommodations, sublicenses, or other authorizations from the
     applicable contract vendors as may be necessary to allow Kash
     n' Karry full use thereof in connection with the provision of
     the Services.  GSI shall obtain, at its sole expense, all
     Required Consents to such assignments, accommodations,
     sublicenses or other authorizations; provided, however, that,
     prior to the Closing Date, Kash n' Karry shall obtain from
     each Contract vendor a firm quote for the cost to be charged
     by such vendor in connection with the reversion or other
     assignment to Kash n' Karry of such Contracts upon termination
     of this Agreement; and provided, further, that GSI shall not
     be required to transfer or assign any Asset to Kash n' Karry
     unless Kash n' Karry shall have obtained all Required Consents
     thereto, at GSI's expense.

(b)  For Applications Software and Systems Software proprietary to
     GSI and not otherwise owned by or licensed to Kash n' Karry in
     accordance with Article 9 and not generally commercially
     available, GSI will provide a license to Kash n' Karry for its
     internal use only upon terms and prices to be mutually agreed
     upon by the parties or, at Kash n' Karry's option, GSI will
     recommend a mutually agreeable and commercially available
     substitute to perform the same function.  With respect to
     generally commercially available Applications Software, or
     with respect to generally commercially available Systems
     Software installed at Kash n' Karry's written request, if GSI
     has licensed or purchased and is using any such Applications
     Software or Systems Software in providing the Services to Kash
                                    48<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     n' Karry at the date of expiration or termination, GSI will
     assign all of GSI's right, title and interest in such
     Applications Software and Systems Software to Kash n' Karry,
     limited to the Services and the Projects subject to the terms
     of the applicable license, and Kash n' Karry will reimburse
     GSI for initial license or purchase charges for such
     Applications Software and Systems Software in an amount equal
     to the remaining unamortized cost of such Applications
     Software or Systems Software, if any, depreciated over a five
     year life, and pay any transfer fee or charge imposed by any
     applicable vendor.

11.8 Burden of Proof.

     For purposes of this Article 11, Section 3.10, and this
Agreement, the burden of proving and substantiating the costs and
expenses relating to the termination of this Agreement that qualify
as Committed Costs, or for which GSI is otherwise entitled to be
paid by Kash n' Karry, shall be on GSI.

     kind and character (for example, such as, but not limited to,
     Actual Losses arising from spoiled products, incorrect

     Million Three Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($7,300,000), in
     each case calculated on a per event or per occurrence basis,
     whether based on contract, tort (including, without
     limitation, negligence), warranty or any other legal or
     equitable grounds, for actual or direct Losses (such actual or
     direct Losses shall be defined herein as the "Actual Losses");
     provided, however, that the parties agree that the
     FRF40,000,000/$7,300,000 limitation set forth above in this

     n' Karry's failure to perform any of its agreements or
     covenants set forth in this Agreement, nor shall Kash n' Karry
     or its Subcontractors be liable to GSI for any damages if and
                                    50<PAGE>

14.3 Subrogation.

     In the event that an Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to
indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to Sections 14.1 or 14.2,
the Indemnifying Party shall, upon payment of such indemnity in
full, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party with
respect to the claims and defenses to which such indemnification
relates. 

14.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a)  In the event a party shall consider itself to be entitled to
     indemnification from the other party in the absence of a Claim
     (as defined below), such party shall give written notice
     thereof to the party from whom indemnification is sought in
     accordance with the requirements of Section 14.1 and 14.2
     hereof. If any Claim (as defined below) is threatened against
     a party or if any civil, criminal, administrative or
     investigative action or proceeding (any of the above being a
     "Claim") is commenced against any party entitled to
     indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), written
     notice thereof shall be given to the party that is obligated
     to provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") as
     promptly as practicable. After such notice, if the
     Indemnifying Party shall (i) acknowledge in writing to such
     Indemnified Party that this Agreement applies with respect to
     such Claim, and (ii) shall agree in writing to indemnify the
     Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled,
     if it so elects, in a written notice delivered to the
     Indemnified Party not fewer than ten days prior to the date on
     which a response to such Claim is due, to take control of the
     defense and investigation of such Claim and to employ and
     engage attorneys of its sole choice to handle and defend the
     same, at the Indemnifying Party's sole cost and expense. The
     Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects
     with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the
     investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal
     arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified
     Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate, through
     its attorneys or otherwise, in such investigation, trial and
     defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom. No
     settlement of a Claim (y) that involves a remedy other than
     the payment of money by the Indemnifying Party or (z) that
     shall result in other than a full, final and complete release
     (in form, scope and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
     Indemnified Party) of the Indemnified Party, shall be entered
     into without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which
     consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


                                    55<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

(b)  After notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified
     Party of its election to assume full control of the defense of
     any such Claim and the execution of an agreement reasonably
     satisfactory to the Indemnified Party wherein the Indemnifying
     Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party, the
     Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified
     Party for any legal expenses (including disbursements)
     incurred thereafter by such Indemnified Party in connection
     with the defense of that Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does
     not assume full control over the defense of a Claim subject to
     such defense as provided in this Section 14.4, the
     Indemnifying Party may participate in such defense, at its
     sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party shall have
     the right to defend the Claim in such manner as it may deem
     appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying
     Party.

      ARTICLE 17:  REVIEW COMMITTEE AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1 Joint Advisory Committee.

     GSI and Kash n' Karry agree to create a Joint Advisory
Committee consisting of the National Director of GSI, the GSI
Project Executive, the Chief Executive Officer of Kash n' Karry,
and the Chief Financial Officer of Kash n' Karry.

     The Joint Advisory Committee will: 

(a)  conduct quarterly reviews of the progress on Projects;

(b)  annually review the operating and strategic plans prepared by
     GSI's Project Executive;

(c)  review, on an annual basis, performance objectives and
     measurements; 

(d)  provide advice and direction on technology changes; 

(e)  attempt to resolve disputes between the parties; and

(f)  undertake such other actions and perform such other tasks as
     may be agreed upon by the parties in furtherance of this
     Agreement.

Either party may bring other individuals to the meetings of the
Joint Advisory Committee, such as consultants or employees, as may
be mutually agreed upon by the parties. 

17.2 Dispute Resolution.

(a)  Except as set forth in Section 17.2(d) and Section 17.2(e)
     below, any dispute between the parties either with respect to
     the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or with

                                    57<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     respect to the performance by GSI or by Kash n' Karry
     hereunder shall be resolved as specified in this Section 17.2.

     (1)  Upon the written notice of either party, the Joint
          Advisory Committee will meet within five days.

     (2)  For a period of 30 days following such initial meeting,
          the designated representatives shall meet no less than
          bi-weekly (and such meetings may be by telephone) in
          order to gather and furnish to the other all information
          with respect to the matter at issue which the parties
          believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with
          its resolution.

     (3)  Such representatives shall discuss the problem and
          negotiate in good faith during such 30 day period in an
          effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of 
          any formal proceeding relating thereto.

     (4)  During the course of such negotiation, all reasonable
          requests made by one party to the other for non-
          privileged information reasonably related to this
          Agreement will be honored in order that each of the
          parties may be fully advised of the other's position.

     (5)  The specific format for such discussions will be left to
          the discretion of the designated representatives but may
          include the preparation of agreed upon statements of fact
          or written statements of position furnished to the other
          party.

(b)  If the designated representatives cannot resolve the dispute
     on or before the expiration of such 30 day period, then the
     dispute shall be promptly escalated to the Chairman of the
     Board of Kash n' Karry and the President of Facility
     Management for GSI, for their review and resolution within ten
     days after the expiration of such 30 day period. If the
     dispute cannot be resolved by such officers within such ten
     day period, then the parties may initiate arbitration
     proceedings in accordance with Section 17.2(c) hereof.

(c)  Any dispute between the parties that is not resolved within
     the timeframe set forth in Sections 17.2(a) and (b) may be
     resolved by nonbinding arbitration in accordance with the
     provisions of the American Arbitration Association.  Such
     arbitration may be held in any state in the continental United
     States, except for the State of Florida.  Either party may
     initiate a proceeding in arbitration by giving notice to the
     other of its choice of a qualified arbitrator, together with
     a statement of the claim, the facts that support that claim
                                    58<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     and the relief requested.  The responding party shall, within
     15 days, state its defenses and/or counterclaims, together
     with a statement of the facts that support the defenses or
     counterclaims and, in the case of counterclaims, the relief
     requested.  Additionally, the responding party shall state
     whether the proposed arbitrator is acceptable.  In the event
     the proposed arbitrator is unacceptable, the parties shall
     make a good faith effort to agree on another qualified
     individual to serve as a single arbitrator.  If the parties
     cannot agree on a single arbitrator within 15 days, each party
     shall designate an arbitrator and those two arbitrators shall
     select a qualified neutral third arbitrator to serve with them
     as an arbitration panel.  

(d)  The parties agree that nothing in this Agreement and/or this
     Article 17 shall limit or prohibit in any way or shall be
     construed to limit or prohibit in any way any party from
     taking formal action (including, but not limited to, judicial
     action) to protect its interests:

     (1)  if GSI shall have stopped providing Services that are
          critical to Kash n' Karry's core operations and such
          cessation shall have continued unremedied for 24 hours
          after Kash n' Karry shall have notified GSI in writing
          (in accordance with Section 18.14) that such cessation
          constitutes an emergency; or

     (2)  in the event that GSI shall reasonably believe that GSI
          is in danger of suffering immediate Losses or immediate
          irreparable harm as a result of the actions or failure to
          act by Kash n' Karry, and such actions or failure to act
          shall continue unremedied for 24 hours after GSI shall
          have notified Kash n' Karry in writing (in accordance
          with Section 18.14) of such danger.

(e)  The parties further agree that nothing in this Agreement
     and/or this Article 17 shall limit or prohibit in any way or
     shall be construed to (i) limit or prohibit in any way any
     party from providing notice to the other of a breach of this
     Agreement, except as expressly provided in Section 11.1 hereof
     or (ii) limit the operation of Article 11 hereof.  The parties
     agree that in the event of a conflict between the terms and
     conditions of Article 11 and this Article 17, the terms and
     conditions of Article 11 shall control and govern.

17.3 Continued Performance.

     Both parties agree to continue performing their respective
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
GSI's obligation to perform Services, and Kash n' Karry's
                                    59<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

obligation to make payments in accordance with Article 7) while the
dispute is being resolved in accordance with this Article 17,
unless and until such obligations are terminated after dispute
resolution or expire in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The
parties agree that in the event of a conflict between this Section
17.3 and any other provision of this Agreement, the provision of
this Section 17.3 shall control and govern.


                      ARTICLE 18:  GENERAL

18.1 Control of Services.

     This Agreement shall not be construed as constituting either
party as partner of the other or to create any other form of legal
association that would impose liability upon one party for the act
or failure to act of the other or as providing either party with
the right, power or authority (express or implied) to create any
duty or obligation of the other party.  Each party shall be
responsible for the management, direction and control of its
employees, and such employees shall not be employees of the other
party.  Except where this Agreement expressly provides that GSI
will perform certain identified Services as agent for Kash n'
Karry, the Services will be under the control, management and
supervision of GSI.

18.2 Right to Perform Services for Others.

     Each party recognizes that GSI personnel providing Services to
Kash n' Karry under this Agreement may perform similar services
from time to time for others, and, subject to the provisions of
Section 18.20, this Agreement shall not prevent GSI from using the
personnel and equipment used to provide Services to Kash n' Karry
under this Agreement for such purposes.  Subject to the provisions
of Section 4.1, GSI may perform its obligations by use of its
Affiliates, or through the use of GSI-selected Subcontractors;
provided, however, that GSI shall not be relieved of its
obligations under this Agreement by use of such Affiliates or
Subcontractors.

18.3 Scope of Services.

     The Services provided under this Agreement relate to Machines
and facilities located within the United States. 

18.4 Amendments.

(a)  Any changes or modifications to this Agreement may be made 
     only by a written amendment signed by both parties, executed

                                    60<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

     and delivered, as to Kash n' Karry, by either its Chief
     Executive Officer or its the Chief Financial Officer.

(b)  On each anniversary of the Commencement Date throughout the
     Term, the parties agree to bear their own expenses of
     reviewing this Agreement in view of the actual conduct of the
     parties over the preceding 12 months and of revising the terms
     of this Agreement so that the written terms of this Agreement
     conform to and reflect the parties' actual conduct.

18.5 Force Majeure.

(a)  Neither party shall be liable for any default or delay in the
     performance of its obligations hereunder if and to the extent
     such default or delay is caused, directly or indirectly, by
     fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God,
     acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or
     revolutions in the United States, or any other similar cause
     beyond the reasonable control of such party (individually,
     each being a "Force Majeure Event").

(b)  In such event, the nonperforming party will be excused from
     any further performance or observance of the obligation(s) so
     affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such
     party continues to use all commercially reasonable efforts to
     recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever
     extent possible without delay. Any party so delayed in its
     performance will immediately notify the other by telephone (to
     be confirmed in writing within five days of the inception of
     such delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the
     circumstances causing such delay. 

(c)  If any Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders, or
     delays performance of the Services and GSI fails to provide
     disaster recovery services at its primary disaster recovery
     facility designated for Kash n' Karry in accordance with
     Section 4.12 and Schedule P (unless such failure to provide
     such disaster recovery services is as a direct result of the
     Force Majeure Event, which circumstance is governed by Section
     18.5(d) hereof), Kash n' Karry may procure such disaster
     recovery services from an alternate source (and shall provide
     written notice thereof from Kash n' Karry to GSI) and GSI will
     pay or reimburse Kash n' Karry for all costs incurred by Kash
     n' Karry in procuring such disaster recovery services for up
     to 180 days.  If the Services shall not have been restored by
     the end of this 180 day period, this Agreement shall
     automatically terminate unless extended by mutual written
     agreement of the parties.  In such event, Kash n' Karry's
     obligations to GSI hereunder in respect of such termination
     shall be as set forth in Section 11.3(b).
                                    61<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

(d)  If any Force Majeure Event affects both the Data Center and
     GSI's primary disaster recovery facility designated for Kash
     n' Karry (thereby preventing the delivery to Kash n' Karry of
     disaster recovery services in accordance with Section 4.12 and
     Schedule P), and substantially prevents, hinders or delays
     performance of the Services, then:

     (1)  Kash n' Karry may procure such disaster recovery services
          from an alternate source (after written notice from Kash
          n' Karry to GSI) for 20 days, which shall be at Kash n'
          Karry's sole cost and expense; and

     (2)  Beginning on the 21st day after failure by GSI to deliver
          disaster recovery services in accordance with Section
          4.12 and Schedule P due to the occurrence of the Force
          Majeure Event, if Services or disaster recovery services
          have not been restored by GSI by such date, GSI will pay
          or reimburse Kash n' Karry for all costs incurred by Kash
          n' Karry in procuring such disaster recovery services for
          up to 180 days. If Services shall not have been restored
          by the end of this 180 day period, this Agreement shall
          automatically terminate unless extended by mutual written
          agreement of the parties.  In such event, Kash n' Karry's
          obligations to GSI hereunder in respect of such
          termination shall be as set forth in Section 11.3(c).

(e)  This Section 18.5 does not limit or otherwise affect GSI's
     obligation to provide disaster recovery services in accordance
     with Section 4.12 and Schedule P. 

18.6 Nonperformance.

     To the extent any nonperformance by either party of its
obligations under this Agreement results from or is caused by the
other party's failure to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, such nonperformance shall be excused. 

18.7 Remarketing.

     Kash n' Karry may not remarket all or any portion of the
Services provided under this Agreement, or make all or any portion
of the Services available to any party other than Kash n' Karry,
without the prior written consent of GSI; provided, however, that
nothing in this Agreement shall limit or prohibit or shall be
construed to limit or prohibit:

(a)  Kash n' Karry's ability to enter into new areas or types of
     business not engaged in by Kash n' Karry on the Closing Date;


                                    62<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

(b)  Kash n' Karry's ability to obtain data processing services or
     functions not covered by this Agreement from other providers
     of such services;

(c)  Kash n' Karry's ability to expand its business operations  by
     the addition of additional retail grocery stores; 

(d)  Kash n' Karry's ability to make acquisitions; or

(e)  subject to the provisions of Section 18.13, Kash n' Karry's
     ability to sell or otherwise divest itself of portions of its
     business operations. 

18.8 Waiver.

     No action taken pursuant to this Agreement by either party
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by such party of compliance
with any covenant or agreement contained herein unless the waiver
is made expressly in writing signed by the waiving party, and such 
waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach
of the same or any other provisions hereof. 

18.9 Severability.

     If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby, and such provision shall be deemed to
be restated to reflect the original intentions of the parties as
nearly as possible in accordance with applicable law(s). 

18.10  Counterparts.

     This Agreement shall be executed in duplicate counterparts.
Each such counterpart shall be an original and both together shall
constitute but one and the same document. 

18.11  Governing Law.

     This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Florida as such laws are applied to contracts which are entered
into and performed entirely within the State of Florida including
the conflicts of law principles thereof.  Except as provided in
Section 17.2(c) with respect to venue for arbitration, the sole and
exclusive venue for any litigation or informal dispute resolution
shall be Hillsborough County, Florida.  GSI, and any Affiliate of
GSI rendering Services under this Agreement, agree to appoint CT
Corporation or equivalent corporate service agent in Florida as its
agent for purposes of service of process.

18.12  Nondisturbance and Attornment.

(a)  Without the prior written consent of Kash n' Karry, GSI shall
     not enter into any equipment lease in respect of, or grant a
     security interest in, any GSI End User Machines, unless the
     equipment lessor, secured party or other lender shall agree
     (1) to provide to Kash n' Karry written notice of, and an
     opportunity to cure, any default or event of default by GSI
     under such equipment lease, security agreement or obligation
     secured thereby, (2) not to disturb Kash n' Karry from the use
     and possession of such GSI End User Machines, so long as no
     event of default shall occur and continue following the
     expiration of Kash n' Karry's cure period, and (3) to consent
     to the assignment by GSI to Kash n' Karry, upon termination of
     this Agreement, of its rights and privileges under any such
     equipment lease and its right, title and interest in any such
     GSI End User Machines (subject to the interest of such
     equipment lessor or secured party).

(b)  GSI hereby acknowledges and consents to the lien upon the
     rights and privileges of Kash n' Karry under this Agreement to

     that certain Credit Agreement dated as of December 29, 1994,
     and any obligations hereafter created by Kash n' Karry to
     refinance such obligations.  Notwithstanding any contrary
     provision in Section 18.13, GSI consents to an assignment by
     Kash n' Karry of its rights and privileges hereunder to any
     such secured party following the occurrence of an event of
     default by Kash n' Karry under such secured obligations.

18.13  Binding Nature and Assignment.

(a)  This Agreement will be binding on the parties and their
     respective successors and permitted assigns.  Neither party
     may, or will have the power to, assign its rights and
     obligations under this Agreement without the prior written
     consent of the other, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections
     18.13(a) and 19.1, either party may assign its rights and
     obligations under this Agreement, without the approval of the
     other, to an Affiliate which expressly assumes, pursuant to a
     written agreement in form, scope and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to the other party, this Agreement and such
     party's obligations and responsibilities hereunder, provided
     that the assigning party remains jointly and severally liable
     for the performance of all obligations under this Agreement
     with the assignee and the assignor shall not be relieved from
     the full performance of all obligations under this Agreement.

     Section 18.13, but subject to the provisions of Section 19.1,
     either party may assign this Agreement without the prior
     written consent of the other party to an entity which acquires
     all or substantially all of the assets of such party, so long
     as:

     (1)  the assignee shall have a net worth, determined in
          accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
          consistently applied, after giving effect to such
          assignment, equal to or greater than the assignor's net
          worth immediately prior to such assignment; and

     (2)  the assignee shall expressly assume the assignor's
          obligations and responsibilities hereunder from and after
          the date of assignment.

(d)  Any attempted assignment that does not comply with the terms
     of this Article shall be null and void. Any party assigning
     its rights or obligations in accordance with Sections 18.13(b)

     of the assignment instrument.

     delivered by Kash n' Karry in connection with the provision by
     GSI of machines, equipment and software in performing the
     Services so as to evidence GSI's ownership of such items. GSI
     shall not be obligated to deliver any such machines, equipment
     and software to Kash n' Karry facilities unless and until such
     documents are executed and delivered by Kash n' Karry, and GSI
     shall not be responsible for any failure to provide the
     Services, including, without limitation, meeting of the
     Current Parameter, due to nondelivery of such items caused by
     Kash n' Karry's failure to execute and deliver such documents.
     GSI agrees that such documents shall be in form, scope and
     substance reasonably satisfactory to Kash n' Karry, and that
     no such documents shall vary, waive, limit or release any of

                                    68<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

purpose of the Agreement, the Schedules and the Modifications are

                ARTICLE 19:  BANKRUPTCY CONCERNS

19.1 Personal Services Contract.

     GSI acknowledges and agrees that Kash n' Karry is entering
into the Agreement solely in reliance upon GSI's expertise in
providing the Services.  Accordingly, the parties agree that the
Agreement constitutes a contract for the provision of personal
services by GSI to Kash n' Karry and, in the event GSI is unable to
or refuses to perform the Services or upon the occurrence of a
Bankruptcy Event and if GSI does not perform the Services, Kash n'
Karry shall not be required to accept performance of the Services
by any party other than GSI.

19.2 Default in the Event of Bankruptcy and Post-Filing Bankruptcy
     Remedies for Non-Performance.

     If either GSI or Kash n' Karry (i) shall apply for, or consent
in writing to, the appointment of a receiver, trustee or
liquidator; or (ii) shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy
or be unable, or admit in writing to the inability generally, to
pay debts as they become due; or (iii) shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) shall file a
petition or an answer seeking a reorganization or an arrangement or
readjustment of debt with creditors, or take advantage of any
insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution law of the
United States or of any state or country; or (v) shall file an
answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed
against it in any such bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency
proceedings (hereinafter, collectively, a "Bankruptcy Event"), then
the following provisions shall take effect:

(a)  Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event as to GSI, then in
     order to protect the vital business interests of Kash n'
     Karry, GSI hereby consents in advance to the immediate entry
     of an order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over
     its case, without the necessity of a hearing, which will
     provide for complete relief from the automatic stay in favor
     of Kash n' Karry.  If the bankruptcy court declines to enter
     such an order without a hearing, GSI agrees that the
     circumstances warrant a hearing on an emergency basis and on
     short notice to GSI.  For so long as no Event of Default by
                                    69<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]
     GSI shall have occurred and be continuing, then Kash n' Karry
     agrees not to proceed against the estate or assets of GSI in
     such bankruptcy case.  If, however, GSI fails to perform all
     of its obligations under the Agreement following the
     occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, then Kash n' Karry shall
     have all rights and remedies which are necessary to protect
     Kash n' Karry's business interests.

(b)  Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event as to Kash n' Karry,
     then in order to protect the vital business interests of GSI,
     Kash n' Karry hereby consents in advance to the immediate
     entry of an order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction
     over its case, without the necessity of a hearing, which will
     provide for complete relief from the automatic stay in favor
     of GSI.  If the bankruptcy court declines to enter such an
     order without a hearing, Kash n' Karry agrees that the
     circumstances warrant a hearing on an emergency basis and on
     short notice to Kash n' Karry.  For so long as no Monetary
     Event of Default by Kash n' Karry shall have occurred and be
     continuing, then GSI agrees not to proceed against the estate
     or assets of Kash n' Karry in such bankruptcy case.  If,
     however, a Monetary Event of Default by Kash n' Karry shall
     have occurred and be continuing following the occurrence of a
     Bankruptcy Event, then GSI shall have all rights and remedies
     which are necessary to protect GSI's business interests.

19.3 Waiver of Automatic Stay

     In the event a bankruptcy case is commenced by or against
either party hereto after the execution of this Agreement, then the
automatic stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. 362 or any similar law,, and
any rights to and injunction under 11 U.S.C. 105(a) or any
similar law, shall be deemed automatically waived as to the other
party with respect to the Agreement, the Schedule or any other
documents executed in connection herewith.  The Court with
jurisdiction over any such bankruptcy case shall enter an order
terminating the automatic stay without the necessity of a hearing,
proof or evidence, upon motion made by the other party.  Each of
the parties hereto specifically agree and acknowledge that the 
lifting of the automatic stay hereunder by the appropriate
bankruptcy court shall be deemed "for cause" pursuant to Section
362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Each party also specifically
agrees not to directly or indirectly oppose or otherwise defend
against the other party's effort to gain relief from the automatic
stay.  This provision is not intended to preclude either party from
filing for protection under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. 
The remedies prescribed in this paragraph are not exclusive and
shall not limit a party's rights under the Agreement or under any
law.  All of the above terms and conditions have been freely
bargained for and are all supported by reasonable and adequate
consideration and the
                                    70<PAGE>
                                                 [Execution copy]

provisions herein are a material inducement for each party to enter
into this Agreement.

               ARTICLE 20:  NEW CLIENT INCENTIVES

     It is GSI's intention to provide services to new clients from
the Data Center.  With respect to any new clients introduced to the
Data Center, then provided that Kash n' Karry participates in such
introduction, such as by providing references for GSI, GSI will pay
to Kash n' Karry a one-time bonus payment (the "Data Center Bonus")
equal to 3/10 of one percent (0.3%) of GSI's first year annual
services charges to such new clients.  The bonus will be due and
payable six months after commencement of GSI's services to such new
clients.  With respect to any new clients introduced to GSI by Kash
n' Karry, regardless of whether such services will be provided from
the Data Center or otherwise, GSI will pay to Kash n' Karry a bonus
payment (the "Introduction Bonus") equal to one-half of one percent
(0.5%) of the annual services charges payable by such new clients
for the first two years of such service.  Such bonus payments will
be due and payable in two equal installments, the first of which
will be due and payable six months after the commencement of
services to such new client, and the second of which will be due
and payable six months after the first year anniversary of such
commencement  If Kash n' Karry introduces a new client to GSI for
which GSI provides services from the Data Center, GSI shall pay the
Introduction Bonus to Kash n' Karry, and not the Data Center Bonus.

     THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT,
UNDERSTAND IT, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
FURTHER, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE
STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THIS
SUBJECT SHALL CONSIST OF 1) THIS AGREEMENT, AND 2) THE SCHEDULES,
INCLUDING THOSE MADE EFFECTIVE BY THE PARTIES IN THE FUTURE. THIS
STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES ALL PROPOSALS OR OTHER PRIOR
AGREEMENTS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, AND ALL OTHER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN
THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER DESCRIBED IN THIS
AGREEMENT.

     .    A complete freeze on all systems except for maintenance
          to actual errors in the systems.

     .    That all modifications and/or development of systems will

     .    Will be, at a minimum, new 4690 IBM configurations or
          equivalent in performance/functionality.

     .    Will include, at a minimum, the IBM Supermarket
          Application (or its equivalent), the IBM EFT feature (or
          its equivalent) and current Check Authorization
          functionality used at Kash n' Karry.

     .    Will require GSI to provide all construction and
          electrical requirements, per manufacturer specifications.
          Kash n' Karry will be responsible for providing all
          construction work, cabling, and electrical wiring in a
          timely manner, will pay for said work, and comply with
          GSI and manufacturer specifications.  GSI will install

          its equivalent).

     .    Will be a "vanilla" installation of these products. 
          "Vanilla" in this context means only standard parameters
          and that no program modifications will be made to the
          software that is acquired from the supplier of the
          software.

     .    Will be a version of the software release provided by the
          supplier to the general marketplace, under VSAM, and
          includes a Kash n' Karry commitment to a complete
          "freeze" on all modifications to the existing Kash n'
          Karry Merchandising System during the implementation of
          the new systems except for those "fixes" that are
          required to continue normal computer operations.

     .    Will be reviewed by GSI to make its best effort to
          establish an interface between it and any "existing
          functions" that the CEO of Kash n' Karry requests GSI to
          review from the current Merchandising System.

     .    Will be installed with the collaboration and involvement
          of the Kash n' Karry "champions" as relates to this
          project.

     .    Will require GSI to provide Training for the designated
          Kash n' Karry trainers and the subsequent review of the
          training results.  These Kash n' Karry trainers will be
          responsible for training results, with GSI assistance,
          such as trainee willingness to learn, training
          assimilation measures, and timing.

     .    Will be kept on a maintenance agreement between GSI and
          the provider of the software system, under its standard
          maintenance contract.<PAGE>

          calendar quarter of 1996 for those stores installed in
          1995.

     .    Scheduling for the remaining stores will be implemented
          by the 3rd calendar quarter of 1996.

     .    That will be, at a minimum, equal to the current systems
          acquired by Kash n' Karry for their IBM 4680
          installations.

              FIRST AMENDMENT TO SERVICES AGREEMENT


     This is the First Amendment to that certain Services Agreement
dated as of March 1, 1995 (the "Services Agreement"), by and
between Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Kash n' Karry"), and GSI Outsourcing Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("GSI").


                              TERMS

     In consideration of the mutual covenants and promises
hereinafter set forth, and other valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Staff.  

     1.1. Section 3.2(a) of the Services Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting the second and third sentences and inserting
the following in lieu thereof:

          Within 10 days prior to the Effective Employment Date (as
          hereinafter defined), GSI or its Subcontractors will
          offer, or cause to be offered, employment to those Kash
          n' Karry employees listed on Schedule O (the "Affected
          Employee"), as the same may be amended from time to time
          after the Closing Date to reflect changes in such
          personnel.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(b),
          such employment will become effective on the earlier of
          May 1, 1995, or the date that is 31 days after the
          Closing Date (the "Effective Employment Date").

     1.2. Section 3.2(b) of the Services Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting the third sentence and inserting the following
in lieu thereof:

          On or before the Effective Employment Date, Kash n' Karry
          will pay to such Transferred Employees all monies owed to
          them by reason of their employment with Kash n' Karry, on
          a prorata basis as of the Effective Employment Date.

     1.3. GSI represents and warrants to Kash n' Karry that GSI is
presently obtaining bids for workers compensation and employers'
extended coverage liability insurance as required pursuant to
Section 15.1 of the Agreement.  GSI further covenants and agrees to
obtain such coverage and to provide to Kash n' Karry a certificate
of insurance on or before the Effective Employment Date (as defined
in the Agreement).

2.   Reconciliation of Service Charges During Transition Period.

     2.1. Section 3.9 of the Services Agreement is hereby deleted
in its entirety, and the following is hereby inserted in lieu
thereof:

          (a)  On the Closing Date, all payment obligations and
               liabilities under the Contracts and all other costs
               and expenses associated with the provision of
               Services shall be apportioned between the parties
               as of the opening of business on the Commencement
               Date, it being understood that Kash n' Karry shall
               be responsible for any such obligations,
               liabilities, costs and expenses for all periods
               prior to the Commencement Date, and that GSI shall
               be responsible for any such obligations,
               liabilities, costs and expenses for all periods
               commencing on and after the Commencement Date.  To
               the extent that Kash n' Karry pays any costs and
               expenses associated with the provision of Services
               during the Transition Period, such amounts shall be
               credited against the portion of the Annual Service
               Charge for 1995 that is payable by Kash n' Karry on
               the Closing Date pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof. 
               On or before the Closing Date, Kash n' Karry will
               submit to GSI an itemized list of all such costs
               and expenses paid by Kash n' Karry through the most
               recent practicable date prior to the Closing Date
               (the "Itemized Costs").  From time to time after
               the Closing Date, the parties agree to make such
               further adjustments between them as may be
               necessary to properly allocate the payment
               obligations and liabilities under the Contracts,
               and all other costs and expenses associated with
               the provision of Services hereunder, between the
               parties as of the Commencement Date.  Without
               limitation of the foregoing, if, following the
               Closing Date, Kash n' Karry incurs additional costs
               and expenses in connection with the provision of
               Services on and after the Commencement Date
               (including, without limitation, the costs and
               expenses of employing the Affected Employees
               through the Effective Employment Date), GSI will
               reimburse Kash n' Karry for such costs and expenses
               promptly upon receipt from Kash n' Karry of an
               itemized statement thereof.  During the three month
               period following the Closing Date, GSI shall have
               the right to review the books and records of Kash
               n' Karry, during normal business hours, for
               purposes of auditing the Itemized Costs and any
               additional reimbursable costs and expenses of Kash
               n' Karry.
                                    2<PAGE>
          (b)  Prior to and from time to time after the Closing
               Date, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith
               any adjustments to the Annual Services Charge
               attributable to any Retained Contracts, costs
               relating to assigning the Assets, material costs
               and liabilities not disclosed in the MIS Budget,
               and any costs reallocated between the parties
               pursuant to negotiations during the Transition
               Period.

     2.2. Section 7.1 of the Services Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting the third sentence and inserting the following in lieu
thereof:

          Provided, however, the Annual Services Charge for 1995
          will be due and payable as follows:

          (a)  an amount equal to the sum of the following will be
               payable by Kash n' Karry on the Closing Date: 
               (i) the portion of the Annual Services Charge for
               1995 allocable to the Transition Period, prorated
               on a per diem basis, minus (ii) the total amount of
               Itemized Costs paid by Kash n' Karry pursuant to
               Section 3.9(a) hereof;

          (b)  an amount equal to 1/12th of the total Annual
               Services Charge for 1995, prorated on a per diem
               basis for the period from and including the Closing
               Date to the last day of such month, will be payable
               by Kash n' Karry on the Closing Date; and

          (c)  the portion of the Annual Services Charge for 1995
               allocable to the period commencing on the first day
               of the month next succeeding the Closing Date will
               be payable in equal installments prorated over the
               number of remaining months in 1995.

          For example, if (i) the Closing Date occurs on April 1,
          1995, (ii) the total Annual Services Charge for 1995 is
          $7,839,000, and (iii) the Itemized Costs are $1,500,000,
          then:

          --   The sum of $459,750 would be payable by Kash n'
               Karry on April 1, 1995, pursuant to clause (a)
               above ($1,959,750 - $1,500,000 = $459,750);

          --   The sum of $653,250 would be payable by Kash n'
               Karry on April 1, 1995, pursuant to clause (b)
               above; and

_________________
1        ($7,839,000/12) X 3 = $1,959,750
                                    3<PAGE>
          --   The sum of $5,226,000 would be payable by Kash n'
               Karry in equal monthly installments of $653,250
               each commencing on May 1, 1995, and on the first
               day of each month thereafter, through and including
               December 1, 1995.

3.   Appointment of GSI as Paying Agent.  

     3.1. Section 3.4(a) is hereby amended by adding the following
to the end thereof:

          For example, and without limitation of the foregoing,
          Kash n' Karry may appoint GSI as its paying agent with
          respect to any such given Contract, in which event GSI
          will have such rights and obligations with respect to
          such Contract and the equipment and Applications Software
          covered thereby as if it were a Retained Contract
          described in Section 3.4(b); provided, however, in such
          event, no adjustment would be made to the Annual Services
          Charge by reason of the appointment by GSI as paying
          agent, a subsequent assignment to GSI of all rights and
          privileges of Kash n' Karry thereunder, the termination
          by GSI of the Contract, or the achievement by GSI of
          cost-savings in managing any such Contracts in connection
          with the performance of Services hereunder..

     3.2. Section 3.4(b) is hereby amended by adding the following
clause to the beginning of the first sentence thereof:

          Except as provided in Section 3.4(a) with respect to
          Contracts for which GSI is appointed as paying agent, 

     3.3. Kash n' Karry is a party to contracts with IBM
Corporation governing certain Kash n' Karry Machines and certain
Assets and, at the Closing, will appoint GSI as its paying agent
with respect to the contracts governing the Assets identified on
Annex I to Schedule D.  Until such time as Kash n' Karry is able to
obtain segregated invoices from IBM reflecting charges allocable
only to the Kash n' Karry Machines, GSI also agrees to serve as
paying agent with respect to the Kash n' Karry Machines as set
forth on Exhibit 1 attached hereto and to submit monthly invoices
to Kash n' Karry reflecting such charges, and Kash n' Karry agrees
to reimburse GSI upon receipt of an invoice for such charges.

4.   Hand Held Scanners.  

     The parties acknowledge and agree that GSI is not required, as
part of the Services rendered under the Agreement, to replace any
obsolete MSI hand-held scanners currently being utilized in the
Kash n' Karry retail locations, notwithstanding the assumption by
GSI of Kash n' Karry's payment obligations under the maintenance
contracts for such units.
                                    4<PAGE>
5.   Schedules.  

     The parties acknowledge and agree that they are presently
collaborating on the preparation of Schedule Q (Help Desk), and
agree to finalize such schedule within three months after the
Closing Date.

6.   Incorporation.  

     This First Amendment is hereby incorporated into and made a
part of the Services Agreement as if fully set forth therein. 
Except as amended herein, the Services Agreement remains in full
force and effect.  In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of the Services Agreement and the provisions of this
First Amendment, the provisions of this First Amendment shall
govern.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto executed
this First Amendment by and through their duly authorized officers
on the day and year set forth below.

Shares of Common Stock subject to Options granted under the Plan

Options by reason of a Voluntary Termination shall become
available for further awards under the Plan, but only to Eligible
Directors whose initial election or appointment to the Board is

terminated, the shares of Common Stock which were theretofore
subject to such Options shall not be available for Options under
the Plan, and upon any such expiration, forfeiture, surrender,
cancellation, or other termination, the maximum number of shares
in respect of which Options may be granted under this Plan shall
be reduced to such extent.

     5.   Awards.

          5.1.  Type of Options.  All Options granted under the
Plan shall be non-statutory options not intended to qualify as
incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code.

          5.2.  Initial Awards.  Each Eligible Director who is
serving in such capacity on the date as of when the Plan is
adopted by the Company shall be granted each of the following
Awards (collectively, the "Initial Awards"):

               5.2.1.  a non-qualified stock option to acquire
     three thousand (3,000) shares of the Common Stock, subject
                                    5<PAGE>
     to adjustment in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Plan
     (the "Level One Grant(s)"); and

               5.2.2.  a non-qualified stock option to acquire
     three thousand (3,000) shares of the Common Stock, subject
     to adjustment in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Plan
     (the "Level Two Grant(s)").

          5.3. Subsequent Awards.  The Committee may grant
Options (the "Subsequent Awards") to Eligible Directors whose
initial election or appointment to the Board is for the purpose
of filling a vacancy left by an Eligible Director who received an
Initial Award that was forfeited and cancelled pursuant to
Section 5.7 hereof by reason of a Voluntary Termination.    

          5.4.  Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of
Common Stock subject to Options granted hereunder shall be:

               5.4.1.  Fifteen Dollars ($15.00), in the case of
     Level One Grants;

               5.4.2.  Twenty Dollars ($20.00), in the case of
     Level Two Grants;

               5.4.3.  The Fair Market Value on the business day
     immediately preceding the Date of Grant, in the case of
     Subsequent Awards made pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof.

          5.5.  Method of Exercise.  Upon becoming exercisable in
accordance with Section 6 of the Plan, and subject to the
provisions of Section 5.7 hereof, an Option may be exercised in
whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the
Option Period.  A partial exercise of an Option will not affect
an Eligible Director's subsequent right to exercise the Option as
to the remaining Common Stock subject to the Option.  Any portion
of an Option that is exercised may not be exercised again.  To
exercise an Option, an Eligible Director must do the following: 
(a) deliver to the Company a written notice of exercise,
specifying the number of shares to be purchased; and (b) tender
to the Company payment in full of the exercise price.  The
exercise date of an Option will be the date when the Company has
received the notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise
price.  No Option may be exercised at any time in respect of a
fractional share.  

          5.6.  Form of Payment.  An Eligible Director may pay
all or any part of the exercise price under an Option in cash, by
certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order
of the Company or such other form or method of payment as may be
acceptable to the Company and available to all Eligible
Directors.   Payment may also be made in whole or in part by the
transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock already owned
                                    6<PAGE>
by an Eligible Director for at least six months prior to the
exercise date and having a Fair Market Value equal to all or a
portion of the exercise price as of the exercise date.  All
payment instruments shall be accepted by the Company subject to
collection.

          5.7.  Option Period.  Each Award shall expire on the
last day of the Option Period, but shall be subject to earlier
termination as follows:

               5.7.1.  If the Eligible Director is removed from
     the Board for Cause, all rights of such Eligible Director
     under any then exercisable and unexercisable Options shall
     automatically expire and be forfeited and cancelled on the
     effective date of any such removal.

               5.7.2.  In the event of a Voluntary Termination,
     all rights of such Eligible Director under any unexercisable
     Options shall automatically expire and be forfeited and
     cancelled on the effective date of such Voluntary
     Termination, and any then exercisable Options shall expire
     forty-five (45) days after the date of such Voluntary
     Termination (but not beyond the last day of the Option
     Period).

               5.7.3.  In the event of an Involuntary
     Termination, the then outstanding Options of such Eligible
     Director shall become one hundred percent (100%)
     exercisable, to the full extent of the number of shares of
     Common Stock remaining covered by such Options, regardless
     of whether such Options were previously exercisable, and
     each such Option shall expire forty-five (45) days after the
     date of such Involuntary Termination (but not beyond the
     last day of the Option Period) and thereafter such Options
     shall be forfeited and cancelled by the Company. 
     Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if any
     Involuntary Termination is due to the death or Disability of
     an Eligible Director, such Eligible Director (and such
     Eligible Director's estate, designated beneficiary or other
     legal representative, as the case may be) shall have the
     right, to the extent exercisable immediately prior to or as
     a result of any such Involuntary Termination, to exercise
     any Option at any time within the one hundred eighty (180)
     day period following such cessation to serve (but not beyond
     the last day of the Option Period).  

               5.7.4.  Exercise of a deceased Eligible Director's
     Awards that become or remain exercisable shall be by (a) the
     person or persons whom the Eligible Director has designated
     in a writing filed with the Company in accordance with
     Section 11.4 of the Plan, or (b) if no such designation has
     been made, by the person or persons to whom the Eligible
                                    7<PAGE>
     Director's rights have passed by will or the laws of
     intestate succession.

          5.8.  Right to Exercise.  The right of any Eligible
Director to exercise an Award granted under the Plan shall,
during the lifetime of such Eligible Director, be exercisable
only by such Eligible Director and shall not be assignable or
transferable by such Eligible Director other than by will or the
laws of intestate succession.  

          5.9. Limitation of Rights.  Neither the recipient of an
Award under the Plan nor an Eligible Director's beneficiaries or
successors in interest shall have any rights as a shareholder of
the Company with respect to any Common Stock subject to any Award
until the issuance of a stock certificate in respect of such
Common Stock.  Neither the Plan, nor the granting of any Award
thereunder, nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan,
shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or
understanding, express or implied, that an Eligible Director has
a right to continue as a director of the Company for any period
of time or at any particular rate of remuneration.

          5.10. Regulatory Approval.  The Company shall not be
required to issue any certificates for Common Stock upon the
exercise of an Option granted under the Plan or to record as a
holder of record of Common Stock the name of the person
exercising an Option under the Plan, (a) without first obtaining
to the complete satisfaction of the Company the approval of all
regulatory bodies deemed necessary by the Company, and
(b) without first complying, to the Company's satisfaction, with
all rules and regulations under federal, state, or local law
deemed applicable by the Company.  Common Stock acquired upon
exercise of an Option may not be sold or otherwise disposed of
prior to six months after the Date of Grant.

     6.   Exercisability.  Subject to Sections 5.7 and 5.10 of
the Plan, all Level One Options  granted under the Plan shall
become exercisable on July 30, 1995, all Level Two Options
granted under the Plan shall become exercisable on July 28, 1996,
and all Subsequent Awards shall become exercisable in accordance
with such vesting schedule as the Committee shall determine at
the time of grant.  

     7.   Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to
require an Eligible Director, upon the exercise of any Option, to
remit or otherwise arrange for the payment of any federal, state,
local or other taxes of any kind which the Company, in its sole
discretion, deems necessary to be withheld to comply with the
Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation.  


                                    8<PAGE>
     8.   Changes in Capitalization and Other Matters.

          8.1.  No Corporate Action Restriction.  The existence
of the Plan, any Award Agreement and/or the Awards granted
hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the
right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to
make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company's or any
Subsidiary's capital structure or its business, (b) any merger,
consolidation or change in the ownership of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital,
preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the
Company's or any Subsidiary's capital stock or the rights
thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Company's or any Subsidiary's assets or business, or (f) any
other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any
Subsidiary.  No Eligible Director, beneficiary or any other
person shall have any claim against any member of the Board, the
Company or any Subsidiary, or any employees, officers or agents
of the Company or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action.

          8.2.  Recapitalization Adjustments.  If the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased,
or changed into or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
securities of the Company through  a stock dividend,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, 
consolidation, subdivision, split-up, spin-off, split-off or
combination, proportionate adjustments shall be made to reflect
such change, including, without limitation, with respect to the
aggregate number and class of shares of Common Stock subject to
and authorized by the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by each outstanding Option, and the exercise price or
other price per share of Common Stock in respect of outstanding
Options.

     9.   Change of Control.

          9.1.  Acceleration of Awards Vesting.  Anything in the
Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control of
the Company (as defined in Section 9.2 of the Plan) occurs, all
Awards then unexercised and outstanding shall become fully vested
and exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control.  The
immediately preceding sentence shall apply to only those Eligible
Directors who are serving in such capacity as of the date of the
Change of Control.

          9.2.  Change of Control.  For the purpose of this Plan,
a "Change of Control" shall have occurred if at any time either
(a) any person or any persons acting together (excluding the
Original Stockholders) that constitute a "group" for purposes of

                                    9<PAGE>
fifty percent (50%) of the total Voting Interest of the Company
or (b) any person or any persons acting together (excluding the
Original Stockholders) that constitute a "group" for purposes of
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall succeed in having a
sufficient number of its nominees elected to the Board to
constitute a majority of the Board.

     10.  Amendment; Termination.  The Board may suspend or
terminate the Plan (or any portion thereof) at any time and may
amend the Plan at any time and from time to time in such respects
as the Board may deem advisable.No such amendment, suspension or
termination shall be effective if it would materially adversely
affect the rights of any Eligible Director under any outstanding
Awards, without the consent of such Eligible Director.

     11.  Miscellaneous.

          11.1.  Unfunded Plan.  The Plan shall be unfunded and
the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets in
connection with any Awards under the Plan.  Any liability of the
Company to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan or
any Award Agreement shall be based solely upon the contractual
obligations that may be created as a result of the Plan or any
such award or agreement.  No such obligation of the Company shall
be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, encumbrance on, or
other interest in, any property or asset of the Company or any
Subsidiary.  Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement
shall be construed as creating in respect of any Eligible
Director (or beneficiary thereof or any other person) any equity
or other interest of any kind in the assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary or creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship of any kind between the Company, any Subsidiary
and/or any such Eligible Director, any beneficiary thereof or any
other person.

          11.2.  Listing, Registration and Other Legal
Compliance.  No Options or Common Stock shall be issued under the
Plan unless legal counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that
any such issuance will be in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws and regulations and any other
applicable laws or regulations.  The Company may require, as a
condition of any payment or share issuance, that certain
agreements, undertakings, representations, certificates, and/or
information, as the Company may deem necessary or advisable, in
its sole discretion, be executed or provided to the Company to
assure compliance with all such applicable laws or regulations. 
Certificates for any Options and/or Common Stock delivered under
the Plan may be subject to such stock-transfer orders and such
other restrictions as the Company may deem advisable under the
rules, regulations, or other requirements of the SEC, any stock
exchange upon or trading system in which the Common Stock is then
listed or traded, and any applicable federal or state securities
                                    10<PAGE>
law.  In addition, if, at any time specified herein (or in any
Award Agreement) for the issuance or other distribution of any
Options and/or Common Stock, or the payment of amounts to any
Eligible Director, any law, rule, regulation or other requirement
of any governmental authority or agency shall require either the
Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary or any Eligible Director
(or any estate, designated beneficiary or other legal
representative thereof) to take any action in connection
therewith, any such issuance or distribution, or any such
payment, as the case may be, shall be deferred until such
required action is taken.  

          11.3.  Award Agreements.  Each Eligible Director shall
enter into an Award Agreement with the Company in a form
specified by the Company.  Each such Eligible Director shall
agree therein to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth
in such Award Agreement and/or the Plan.

          11.4.  Designation of Beneficiary.  Each Eligible
Director may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise
an Option or to receive any payment which, under the terms of the
Plan and the relevant Award Agreement, may become exercisable or
payable on or after the Eligible Director's death.  At any time,
and from time to time, any such designation may be changed or
cancelled by the Eligible Director without the consent of any
such beneficiary.  Any such designation, change or cancellation
must be on a form provided for that purpose by the Company and
shall not be effective until received by the Company.  If no
beneficiary has been designated by a deceased Eligible Director,
or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the Eligible
Director, the beneficiary shall be the Eligible Director's
estate.  If the Eligible Director designates more than one such
beneficiary, any payments under the Plan to such beneficiaries
shall be made in equal shares unless the Eligible Director has
expressly designated otherwise, in which case the payments shall
be made in the shares designated by the Eligible Director.

          11.5.  Governing Law.  The validity, construction,
enforcement and interpretation of this Plan, and all actions
taken hereunder, are governed by, and shall be construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware and the
federal laws of the United States of America, excluding the laws
of those jurisdictions pertaining to the resolution of conflicts
with laws of other jurisdictions.

          11.6.  Titles and Headings.  Any titles and headings
herein are for reference purposes only, and shall in no way
limit, define or otherwise affect the meaning, construction or
interpretation of any provisions of the Plan.

          11.7.  Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective
upon its adoption by the Board.

is entered into by and between Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Green Equity Investors,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Optionee").

          WHEREAS, it has been determined that it would be in the
best interests of the Company to grant the non-qualified stock
options provided for herein to the Optionee;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and premises hereinafter set forth and for other good
and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually
covenant and agree as follows:

     1.   Definitions.  Any capitalized term not defined in this
Agreement shall have the same meaning as is ascribed thereto
under the Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. 1995 Non-Employee Stock
Option Plan, a copy of which is incorporated by this reference
herein (the "Plan").    

     2.   Grant of Options.  The Company hereby grants to the
Optionee, as of the Date of Grant, non-qualified stock options
(collectively, the "Options") to acquire from the Company, at the
exercise price of $15.00 per share, 6,000 shares of Common Stock

Code.

     3.   Exercise of the Options.  

          3.1. Exercisability.  Subject to Section 9.3 of this
Agreement, the Level One Options shall vest and become
exercisable on July 30, 1995, and the Level Two Options shall
vest and become exercisable on July 28, 1996.  Notwithstanding

(100%) exercisable.  

          3.2. Expiration Date.  Unless earlier terminated in

     4.  Method of Exercise and Payment.  Upon becoming
exercisable in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement, the
Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from
time to time prior to the Expiration Date.  A partial exercise of
the Options will not affect the Optionee's subsequent right to

portion of an Option that is exercised may not be exercised
again.  The Options shall be exercised by the Optionee by
delivering to the Secretary of the Company or his designated
agent on any business day a written notice of exercise, in such

specified above, multiplied by (b) the number of Option Shares
specified in the Exercise Notice.  All or any part of the
exercise price under the Options may be paid in cash, by
certified check, bank draft or money order payable to the order
of the Company or such other form or method of payment as may be

under the Plan.   Payment may also be made in whole or in part by
the transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock already
owned by the Optionee for at least six (6) months prior to the
exercise date and having a Fair Market Value equal to all or a
portion of the exercise price as of the exercise date.  All
payment instruments shall be accepted by the Company subject to
collection.

interests therein, shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred,
assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the
Optionee.  These Options shall not be pledged, encumbered or
otherwise hypothecated in any way at any time by the Optionee and
shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar legal
process.  Any attempt to sell, exchange, pledge, transfer,
assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of or hypothecate these
Options, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
legal process upon these Options, contrary to the terms of this
Agreement shall be null and void and without legal force or
effect.  These Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee.

its business, (b) any merger, consolidation or change in the

Company or any Subsidiary, or any employees, officers or agents
of the Company or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action.

          6.2.  Recapitalization Adjustments.  If the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased,
or changed into or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
securities of the Company through a stock dividend,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, 
consolidation, subdivision, split-up, spin-off, split-off or

                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and

entered into as of January 24, 1995, between KASH N' KARRY FOOD

STORES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and RONALD

JOHNSON (the "Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee desire to enter into

this Agreement to assure the Company of the services of the

Employee for the benefit of the Company and to set forth the

respective rights and duties of the parties hereto;

     WHEREAS, the Company is in the business of owning, operating

and managing supermarkets and retail liquor, food, grocery and

warehouse format stores in Florida and may, in the future, own,

operate and manage additional supermarkets or retail liquor, food,

grocery or warehouse format stores in or outside of Florida (such

business, present and future, being hereinafter referred to as the

"Business");

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the

mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, the

Company and the Employee agree as follows:



                            ARTICLE 1

                           Employment

     1.1  Employment and Title.  The Company hereby employs the

Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts such employment as the

Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, upon the

terms and conditions set forth herein.<PAGE>
     1.2  Services.

          (a)  During the Term (as hereinafter defined) hereof, the

Employee agrees to perform diligently and in good faith such duties

and services for the Company under the direction of the Board of

Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") as are

consistent with the position of Chief Executive Officer and

President of the Company.  The Employee agrees to devote his best

efforts and all of his full business time, energies and abilities

to the services to be performed hereunder and for the exclusive

benefit of the Company; provided, that this clause shall not be

construed to prevent the Employee from personally, and for his own

account, trading in stocks, bonds, securities, real estate, or

other forms of investment for his own benefit, so long as any such

activity does not materially interfere with the performance of his

duties hereunder, and, provided, further, that Employee shall be

entitled to engage in those further activities permitted under

Section 1.4.  The Employee shall be vested with such authority as

is generally concomitant with the position to which he is

appointed, provided, that the Employee shall have no authority to

do any of the following without the express authority and approval

of the Board of Directors:

               (i)  acquire on behalf of, or dispose of the

Company's interest in, (by lease or otherwise) any real property or

interest in real property, except in the ordinary course of

business;

                                    2<PAGE>
              (ii)  dispose of supermarkets, liquor stores, grocery

stores, food stores, warehouse stores or any substantial portion of

the Business of the Company or any significant part of its assets,

except in the ordinary course of its business;

             (iii)  acquire supermarkets, liquor stores, grocery

stores, food stores, warehouse stores or other businesses on behalf

of the Company, except in the ordinary course of business;

              (iv)  incur indebtedness on behalf of the Company,

except in the ordinary course of business; or

               (v)  expend sums in excess of the amounts set forth

in a periodic budget as developed and approved by the Board of

Directors, except in the ordinary course of business or to meet

emergencies, provided that in such case the Employee shall notify

the Board of Directors as promptly as practicable after the

expenditure has been made.

          (b)  The Employee shall communicate and report to the

Board of Directors on a periodic basis as to the operations,

financial condition and plans of the Business.

     1.3  Location.  The principal place of employment and the

location of the Employee's principal office and ordinary place of

work shall be in Tampa, Florida; provided, however, the Employee

shall, when requested by his superiors, or may, if he determines it

to be reasonably necessary, temporarily perform services outside

said area as are reasonably required for the proper performance of

his duties under this Agreement.

                                    3<PAGE>
     1.4  Exclusivity.  The Employee shall not, without the prior

written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, during the

term of this Agreement render services of a business, professional

or commercial nature to any other person or entity, whether for

compensation or otherwise.

     1.5  Representations.  Each party represents and warrants to

the other that he/it has full power and authority to enter into and

perform this Agreement and that his/its execution of and

performance of this Agreement shall not constitute a default under

or breach of any of the terms of any agreement to which he/it is a

party or under which he/it is bound.  Each party represents that no

consent or approval of any third party is required for his or its

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The

Employee further represents and warrants to the Company that he is

free to accept this employment, and that he has no other

obligations or commitments of any kind to any one which would in

any way hinder or interfere with his acceptance of, full

performance of his obligations under, or exercise of his best

efforts with respect to, this Agreement.



                            ARTICLE 2

                              Term

     2.1  Term.  The term of the Employee's employment hereunder

(the "Term") shall commence on January 24, 1995 (the "Commencement

Date") and shall continue until (but not including) the third

anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Scheduled Termination

                                    4<PAGE>
Date") unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this

Agreement.  On or before July 24, 1997, the parties agree to begin

negotiating the terms of the Employee's employment, if any, after

the Scheduled Termination Date.



                            ARTICLE 3

                          Compensation

     3.1  Salary.  As compensation for the services to be rendered

by the Employee, the Company shall pay the Employee, during the

Term of this Agreement, an annual salary in the amount of Three

Hundred Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($325,000), which salary shall

accrue weekly (prorated for periods less than a week) and shall be

payable in equal weekly installments, in arrears.

     3.2  Other Compensation.  During the Term hereof, the Employee

shall be entitled to participate, on a basis proportionate to the

participation of the other executive officers of the Company, in

any compensatory plan, contract or arrangement that is available to

the Company's most senior executive officers from time to time

during the Term hereof, including, but not limited to (a) the

Company's current bonus plan, generally referred to as the

Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect on the Commencement Date,

and (b) a management stock option plan to be adopted by the Company

on such terms as shall be hereafter determined by the Board of

Directors (the "Proposed Stock Option Plan").  When the Company

adopts the Proposed Stock Option Plan, the Company will grant to

the Employee thereunder options to purchase one percent (1%) of the

                                    5<PAGE>
then outstanding common stock of the Company on a fully-diluted

basis, on the terms set forth therein.  Also, for purposes of

determining the Employee's Target Bonus under the Incentive

Compensation Plan, for the fiscal year ending in 1995, the parties

agree that the Employee's Target Percentage will be not less than

fifty percent (50%), and that the Employee's base salary under the

plan will be the Employee's annual salary under this Agreement,

prorated over the last two (2) quarters of that fiscal year.

     3.3  Benefits and Perquisites.  The Employee shall be

entitled, during the Term hereof, to the same medical, hospital,

dental and life insurance coverage and benefits, vacations, and

other perquisites, as are available to the Company's most senior

executive officers on the Commencement Date or benefits that are

substantially comparable; provided, however, that Employee shall be

entitled to a two (2) weeks vacation in the fiscal year ending in

1995, which he may take at any time. 

     3.4  Withholding.  Any and all amounts payable under this

Agreement, including, without limitation, amounts payable in the

event of the termination hereof under Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof,

are subject to withholding for such federal, state and local taxes

as the Company in its reasonable judgment determines to be required

pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation.

     3.5  Annual Review.   No less frequently than annually, the

Board of Directors shall review the Employee's performance of his

duties and services under this Agreement, and may, commensurate

with the Employee's and the Company's performance, increase, but

                                    6<PAGE>
not decrease, the salary, stock options, other compensation and

benefits payable to the Employee under this Agreement during the

remaining Term.



                            ARTICLE 4

           Working Facilities, Expenses and Insurance

     4.1  Working Facilities and Expenses.  The Employee shall be

furnished with an office at the principal office of the Company, or

at such other location as may be agreed to by the Employee and the

Board of Directors, and other working facilities and secretarial

and other assistance suitable to his position and adequate for the

performance of his duties hereunder.  The Company shall reimburse

the Employee for all the Employee's reasonable expenses incurred

while employed and performing his duties under and in connection

with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, subject to the

Employee's full appropriate documentation, including, without

limitation, receipts for all such expenses in the manner required

pursuant to Company's policies and procedures and the Internal

Revenue Code.

     4.2  Insurance.  The Company may secure in its own name or

otherwise, and at its own expense, life, disability and other

insurance covering the Employee or the Employee and others, and the

Employee shall not have any right, title or interest in or to such

insurance other than as expressly provided herein.  The Employee

agrees to assist the Company in procuring such insurance by

submitting to the usual and customary medical and other

                                    7<PAGE>
examinations to be conducted by such physician(s) as the Company or

such insurance company may designate and by signing such

applications and other written instruments as may be required by

the insurance companies to which application is made for such

insurance.



                            ARTICLE 5

                      Illness or Incapacity

     5.1  Right to Terminate.  If, during the Term of this

Agreement, the Employee shall be unable to perform in all material

respects his duties hereunder for a period exceeding one hundred

twenty (120) consecutive calendar days, or a total of one hundred

eighty-six (186) non-consecutive calendar days, by reason of

illness or incapacity, this Agreement may be terminated by the

Company at its election pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof.

     5.2  Right to Replace.  If the Employee's illness or

incapacity, whether by physical or mental cause, renders him unable

for a minimum period of 30 consecutive calendar days to carry out

his duties and responsibilities as set forth herein, the Company

shall have the right to designate a person to temporarily succeed

the Employee in the capacity described in Article 1 hereof;

provided, however, that if the Employee returns to work from such

illness or incapacity within the six (6) month period following his

inability due to illness or incapacity, he shall be entitled to be

reinstated in the capacity described in Article 1 hereof with all

duties and privileges attendant thereto.

                                    8<PAGE>
     5.3  Rights Prior to Termination.  The Employee shall be

entitled to his full remuneration and benefits hereunder during

such illness or incapacity unless and until an election is made by

the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the

provisions of this Article.



                            ARTICLE 6

                         Confidentiality

     6.1  Confidentiality.  During the Term of this Agreement and

at all times thereafter, the Employee agrees to maintain the

confidential nature of all trade secrets, including, without

limitation, development ideas, acquisition strategies and plans,

financial information, records, "know-how", methods of doing

business, customer, supplier and distributor lists and all other

confidential information of the Company.  The Employee shall not be

obligated to maintain the confidential nature of information the

disclosure of which is required by law or which already is in the

public domain.  The Employee shall not use (other than in

connection with his employment), in any way whatsoever, such trade

secrets except as authorized in writing by the Company.  The

Employee shall, upon terminating his employment, deliver to the

Company any and all records, books, documents or any other

materials whatsoever (including all copies thereof) containing such

trade secrets, which shall be and remain the property of the

Company.



                                    9<PAGE>
     6.2  Non-Removal of Records.  All documents, papers,

materials, notes, books, correspondence, drawings and other written

and graphical records relating to the Business of the Company which

the Employee shall prepare or use, or come into contact with, shall

be and remain the sole property of the Company and shall not be

removed from their respective premises without the Company's prior

written consent.

                           Termination

     7.1  Termination For Cause.  This Agreement and the employment

of the Employee may be terminated by the Company "For Cause" in any

of the following circumstances:

          (a)  The Employee has committed any act or acts of fraud

or misappropriation that result in or are intended to result in his

personal enrichment at the expense of the Company;

          (b)  The Employee is in default in a material respect in

to time and which are generally applicable to all employees and/or

senior executives of the Company, the Employee's acting in a manner

                                    10<PAGE>
materially inconsistent with the customary standards of performance

applicable to persons in similar positions in the supermarket

industry in the United States, or if the Employee has breached any

other material provision of this Agreement; provided that if, and

only if, such default or breach is curable, the Employee shall not

be in default hereunder unless he shall have failed to cure such

default or breach within 15 days of written notice thereof by the

Company to the Employee;

          (c)  The Employee is grossly negligent, which causes

substantial damage or loss to the Company, or engages in willful

misconduct in the performance of his duties hereunder; provided,

of Directors first unanimously approve of the termination; or

          (d)  The Employee has engaged in illegal activities

which, individually, or in the aggregate, reflect materially

adversely upon, or have a materially adverse impact on, the

Company.

     A termination For Cause under this Section 7.1 shall be

termination delivered to the Employee.

     7.2  Termination Without Cause.  This Agreement and the

employment of the Employee may be terminated "Without Cause" as

follows:

          (a)  by mutual agreement of the parties hereto;

                                    11<PAGE>
          (b)  at the election of the Company at any time by its

giving at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to the

Employee;

          (c)  at the election of the Employee by his giving

written notice to the Company in the event that the Company shall

default in or breach the performance of any of its obligations

under this Agreement, or in the event that the Company shall effect

a material diminution or material adverse change in the Employee's

title, responsibilities or duties; provided, that if, and only if,

such default, breach, diminution or change is curable, the Employee

may not elect to give notice under this Section 7.2 (c), unless the

Company shall have failed to cure such default, breach, diminution

or change within fifteen (15) days of written notice thereof

provided by the Employee to the Company; or

          (d)  upon the Employee's death.

     A termination Without Cause under this Section 7.2 shall be

effective upon the date set forth in a written notice of

termination delivered hereunder, which shall be not less than

thirty (30) days nor more than 45 days after the giving of such

     7.3  Effect of Termination For Cause.  If the Employee's

employment is terminated For Cause:

          (a)  The Employee shall be entitled to accrued salary

through the date of termination;

                                    12<PAGE>
          (b)  The Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for

expenses accrued through the date of termination in accordance with

the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof; and

          (c)  Except as provided in Article 11, this Agreement

shall thereupon be of no further force and effect.

     7.4  Effect of Termination Without Cause.  If the Employee's

employment is terminated Without Cause:

          (a)  The Employee shall be entitled to accrued salary

through the date of termination;

          (b)  The Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for

expenses accrued through the date of termination in accordance with

          (c)  Subject to Section 7.5 and except in the case of a

termination Without Cause under Section 7.2(d), the Employee shall

be entitled to receive all amounts of salary as would have been

payable under Section 3.1 hereof through the Scheduled Termination

Date, which amounts shall be paid as and when the same would have

been payable under the Agreement had it not been terminated;

provided, however, in the case of a Termination Without Cause

pursuant to Section 7.2 (c), then Employee is entitled to elect to

receive all salary due under this Section 7.4 (c) in a lump sum,

discounted to reflect the present value of that salary over the

Unexpired Term;

          (d)  Subject to Section 7.5 and except in the case of a

be entitled to receive all medical, hospital and dental coverage

                                    13<PAGE>
and benefits as would have been payable under Section 3.3 hereof

through the Scheduled Termination Date, which amounts shall be paid

as and when the same would have been payable under the Agreement

had it not been terminated, and if the Employee is not entitled to

participate in any such benefit plan under the terms thereof

following the termination, then the Company shall provide the

Employee with substantially identical coverage and benefits;

          (e)  Subject to Section 7.5, if the Employee is

participating in a Company bonus plan as of the date of

termination, he shall be entitled to an accrued bonus through the

date of termination, computed on a per diem basis based upon the

bonus which would have otherwise been payable to the Employee for

the fiscal year during which the date of termination falls had the

Agreement not been terminated, computed on the same basis as in

effect immediately prior to the date of termination, which bonus

shall be paid as and when the same would have otherwise been

payable under the bonus plan had the Agreement not been terminated;

          (f)  All options granted to Employee pursuant to the

Company's stock option plan shall become fully vested, if not

already previously vested; and

          (g)  Except as provided in Article 11, this Agreement

shall be of no further force or effect.

     7.5  Mitigation and Offset.  In the event of a termination of

employment hereunder, the Employee shall be under no obligation to

seek alternative employment or other gainful occupation during the

period from the termination of this Agreement through the Scheduled

                                    14<PAGE>
Termination Date (the "Unexpired Term") by way of mitigation of

amounts payable to the Employee under this Article 7; provided,

however, that, except in the case of Employee's Termination Without

Cause under Section 7.2 (c), if the Employee provides, directly or

indirectly (including through any personal service entity), any

services (whether as employee, consultant, independent contractor

or otherwise) to any person engaged in a business similar to the

business of the Company as then conducted (a "Third Party") during

the Unexpired Term, all amounts paid or payable to the Employee by

or on behalf of such Third Party in respect thereof (exclusive of

any fringe benefits, profit sharing and deferred compensation

arrangements customarily offered to senior management of the Third

Party) ("Offset Amounts") shall reduce any amounts payable

thereafter by the Company to the Employee under Sections 7.4(c),

(d) and (e) hereof on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Upon the request

of the Company, from time to time, the Employee shall certify in

writing to the Company all Offset Amounts received or receivable by

him and shall provide the Company with true copies of all written

agreements and a summary of the terms of all oral agreements

pursuant to which such Offset Amounts are paid or payable to the

Employee.

     7.6  Full Settlement.  The payments provided for in Article 7

of this Agreement are in full settlement of any claims the Employee

may have against the Company arising out of his termination,

including, but not limited to, any claims for wrongful discharge;

provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit any rights or

                                    15<PAGE>
obligations of the parties under any other agreement with the

Company or any pension, severance, retirement, stock option,

deferred compensation or other benefit plans of the Company which

are applicable to the Employee and which provide for specified

rights and obligations in the event of a termination of the

Employee's employment with the Company.



                            ARTICLE 8

              Non-Competition And Non-Interference

     8.1  Non-Competition.  The Employee agrees that during the

Term hereof and for a period of one year thereafter, except in the

case of a Termination Without Cause, the Employee will not,

directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of or in conjunction

with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity,

own, manage, control, join, or participate in the ownership,

management, operation, or control of, or be financially interested

in or advise, lend money to, or be employed by or provide

consulting services to, or be connected in any manner with (a) any

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store,

warehouse store or any similar business located in market areas

where the Company operates; or (b) any company, entity or business

with which Company was in active negotiation for the purchase of a

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store or

warehouse store at the time of termination of the Employee's

employment, or with any other company which shall acquire such

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store or

                                    16<PAGE>
warehouse store.  The Employee acknowledges that the business of

the Company is presently conducted throughout the counties in

Florida listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and any county

contiguous thereto and that such counties constitute the present

market area of the Company.

     Ownership of less than 1% of the stock in a publicly-held

company shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8.1.

     8.2  Non-Interference.  The Employee agrees that during the

Term hereof and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee

will not, directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of or in

conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or

other entity, induce or entice any employee of the Company to leave

such employment or cause anyone else to do so.

     8.3  Severability.  If any covenant or provision contained in

Section 8.1 is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or

in part, it shall not be deemed to affect or impair the validity of

any other covenant or provision.  The parties intend that the

covenants contained in Section 8.1 shall be deemed to be a series

of separate covenants, one for each county referenced therein. 

Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall

be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in such

Section.  If, in any arbitral or judicial proceeding, a court shall

refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included in

such Section, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed

eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such

                                    17<PAGE>
proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining

separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings.



                            ARTICLE 9

                            Remedies

     9.1  Equitable Remedies.  The Employee and the Company agree

that the services to be rendered by the Employee pursuant to this

Agreement, and the rights and interests granted and the obligations

to be performed by the Employee to the Company pursuant to this

Agreement, are of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual

character, which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which

cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any

action at law, and that a breach by the Employee of any of the

terms of the Agreement will cause the Company great and irreparable

injury and damage.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach

of Article 6, Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, the Employee hereby

expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the remedies

of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to

prevent a breach of the Agreement, both pendente lite and

permanently, against the Employee, as such breach would cause

irreparable injury to the Company and a remedy at law would be

inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, the Company may, in

addition to pursuing its other remedies, obtain an injunction from

any court having jurisdiction in the matter restraining any further

violation.  The Employee agrees that a bond in the amount of $5,000

shall be adequate security for issuance of any temporary

                                    18<PAGE>
injunction.  The Company shall also be entitled to such damages as

it can show it has sustained, directly or indirectly, by reason of

said breach.

     9.2  Rights and Remedies Preserved.  Nothing in this Agreement

except Sections 7.6 and 10.11 shall limit any right or remedy the

Company or the Employee may have under this Agreement or pursuant

to law for any breach of this Agreement by the other party.  Except

as set forth in Sections 7.6 and 10.11, the rights granted to the

Company and the Employee herein are cumulative and the election of

one shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to assert

all other legal remedies available under the circumstances.

     10.1 No Waivers.  The failure of either party to enforce any

provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of

any such provision, nor prevent such party thereafter from

enforcing such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

Employee under the terms of this Agreement may be delivered

                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


     THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and

entered into as of March 6, 1995 (the "Execution Date"), between

KASH N' KARRY FOOD STORES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the

"Company"), and GARY M. SHELL (the "Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee desire to enter into

this Agreement to assure the Company of the services of the

Employee for the benefit of the Company and to set forth the

respective rights and duties of the parties hereto;

     WHEREAS, the Company is in the business of owning, operating

and managing supermarkets and retail liquor, food, grocery and

warehouse format stores in Florida and may, in the future, own,

operate and manage additional supermarkets or retail liquor, food,

grocery or warehouse format stores in or outside of Florida (such

business, present and future, being hereinafter referred to as the

"Business");

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the

mutual covenants, terms and conditions set forth herein, the

Company and the Employee agree as follows:



                            ARTICLE 1

                           Employment

     1.1  Employment and Title.  The Company hereby employs the

Employee, and the Employee hereby accepts such employment as the

Senior Vice President, Marketing and Non-Perishables, of the

Company, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     1.2  Services.  During the Term (as hereinafter defined)

hereof, the Employee agrees to perform diligently and in good faith

such duties and services for the Company under the direction of the

Chief Executive Officer as are consistent with the position of

Senior Vice President-Marketing and Non-perishables.  The Employee

agrees to devote his best efforts and all of his full business

time, energies and abilities to the services to be performed

hereunder and for the exclusive benefit of the Company; provided,

that this clause shall not be construed to prevent the Employee

from personally, and for his own account, trading in stocks, bonds,

securities, real estate, or other forms of investment for his own

benefit, so long as any such activity does not materially interfere

with the performance of his duties hereunder.  The Employee shall

be vested with such authority as is generally concomitant with the

position to which he is appointed. 

     1.3  Location.  The principal place of employment and the

location of the Employee's principal office and ordinary place of

work shall be in Tampa, Florida; provided, however, the Employee

shall, when requested by his superiors, or may, if he determines it

to be reasonably necessary, temporarily perform services outside

said area as are reasonably required for the proper performance of

his duties under this Agreement.

     1.4  Exclusivity.  The Employee shall not, without the prior

written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, during the

term of this Agreement render services of a business, professional

                                    2<PAGE>
or commercial nature to any other person or entity, whether for

compensation or otherwise.

     1.5  Representations.  Each party represents and warrants to

the other that he/it has full power and authority to enter into and

perform this Agreement and that his/its execution of and

performance of this Agreement shall not constitute a default under

or breach of any of the terms of any agreement to which he/it is a

party or under which he/it is bound.  Each party represents that no

consent or approval of any third party is required for his or its

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  The

Employee further represents and warrants to the Company that he is

free to accept this employment, and that he has no other

obligations or commitments of any kind to any one which would in

any way hinder or interfere with his acceptance of, full

performance of his obligations under, or exercise of his best

efforts with respect to, this Agreement.



                            ARTICLE 2

                              Term

     2.1  Term.  The term of the Employee's employment hereunder

(the "Term") shall commence on March 6, 1995, (the "Commencement

Date") and shall continue until (but not including) the third

anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Scheduled Termination

Date") unless earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of this

Agreement.  



                                    3<PAGE>
                            ARTICLE 3

                          Compensation

     3.1  Salary.  As compensation for the services to be rendered

by the Employee, the Company shall pay the Employee, during the

Term of this Agreement, an annual salary in the amount of One

Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($130,000), which salary shall

accrue weekly (prorated for periods less than a week) and shall be

payable in equal weekly installments, in arrears.

     3.2  Other Compensation.  During the Term hereof, the Employee

shall be entitled to participate, on a basis proportionate to the

participation of the other executive officers of the Company, in

any compensatory plan, contract or arrangement that is available to

the Company's most senior executive officers from time to time

during the Term hereof, including, but not limited to the Company's

current bonus plan, generally referred to as the Incentive

Compensation Plan, as in effect on the Commencement Date.  For

purposes of determining the Employee's Target Bonus under the

Incentive Compensation Plan for the fiscal year ending in 1995, the

parties agree that the Employee's Target Percentage will be not

less than Fifty Percent (50%), and that the Employee's base salary

under the Incentive Compensation Plan will be the Employee's annual

salary under this Agreement, prorated on a weekly basis over the

remaining period of that fiscal year.  On the Execution Date, the

Company will grant to the Employee, pursuant to its 1995 Key

Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), options to

purchase 20,309 shares of common stock of the Company, representing

                                    4<PAGE>

stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis, for the exercise

price of $15.00 per share and on the other terms set forth in the

Stock Option Plan.  

     3.3  Benefits and Perquisites.  The Employee shall be

entitled, during the Term hereof, to the same medical, hospital,

dental and life insurance coverage and benefits, vacations, and

other perquisites, as are available to the Company's most senior

executive officers on the Commencement Date or benefits that are

substantially comparable, including those benefits described in the

letter dated February 20, 1995, from Ron Johnson to the Employee,

a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.  

     3.4  Withholding.  Any and all amounts payable under this

Agreement, including, without limitation, amounts payable in the

event of the termination hereof under Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof,

are subject to withholding for such federal, state and local taxes

as the Company in its reasonable judgment determines to be required

pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation.

     3.5  Annual Review.   No less frequently than annually, the

Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall review the Employee's

performance of his duties and services under this Agreement, and

may, commensurate with the Employee's and the Company's performance

and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the

Company, increase, but not decrease, the salary, stock options,

other compensation and benefits payable to the Employee under this

Agreement during the remaining Term.

facilities and secretarial and other assistance suitable to his

position and adequate for the performance of his duties hereunder. 

The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all the Employee's

reasonable expenses incurred while employed and performing his

duties under and in connection with the terms and conditions of the

Agreement, subject to the Employee's full appropriate

documentation, including, without limitation, receipts for all such

expenses in the manner required pursuant to Company's policies and

procedures and the Internal Revenue Code.

     4.2  Insurance.  The Company may secure in its own name or

otherwise, and at its own expense, life, disability and other

insurance covering the Employee or the Employee and others, and the

Employee shall not have any right, title or interest in or to such

insurance other than as expressly provided herein.  The Employee

agrees to assist the Company in procuring such insurance by

submitting to the usual and customary medical and other

examinations to be conducted by such physician(s) as the Employee,

the Company or such insurance company may agree to and designate

and by signing such applications and other written instruments as

                                    6<PAGE>
may be required by the insurance companies to which application is

made for such insurance.


                            ARTICLE 5

                      Illness or Incapacity

     5.1  Right to Terminate.  If, during the Term of this

respects his duties hereunder for a period exceeding one hundred

twenty (120) consecutive calendar days, or a total of one hundred

illness or incapacity, this Agreement may be terminated by the

Company at its election pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof.

     5.2  Right to Replace.  If the Employee's illness or

incapacity, whether by physical or mental cause, renders him unable

for a minimum period of 30 consecutive calendar days to carry out

his duties and responsibilities as set forth herein, the Company

shall have the right to designate a person to temporarily succeed

the Employee in the capacity described in Article 1 hereof;

provided, however, that if the Employee returns to work from such

illness or incapacity within the six (6) month period following his

inability due to illness or incapacity, he shall be entitled to be

reinstated in the capacity described in Article 1 hereof with all

duties and privileges attendant thereto.

     5.3  Rights Prior to Termination.  The Employee shall be

entitled to his full remuneration and benefits hereunder during

such illness or incapacity unless and until an election is made by

                                    7<PAGE>
the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the

provisions of this Article.

     6.1  Confidentiality.  During the Term of this Agreement and

at all times thereafter, the Employee agrees to maintain the

confidential nature of all trade secrets, including, without

limitation, development ideas, acquisition strategies and plans,

financial information, records, "know-how", methods of doing

business, customer, supplier and distributor lists and all other

confidential information of the Company.  The Employee shall not be

obligated to maintain the confidential nature of information the

disclosure of which is required by law or which already is in the

public domain.  The Employee shall not use (other than in

connection with his employment), in any way whatsoever, such trade

secrets except as authorized in writing by the Company.  The

Employee shall, upon terminating his employment, deliver to the

Company any and all records, books, documents or any other

materials whatsoever (including all copies thereof) containing such

trade secrets, which shall be and remain the property of the

Company.

     6.2  Ownership of Records.    All documents, papers,

materials, notes, books, correspondence, drawings and other written

and graphical records relating to the Business of the Company which

the Employee shall prepare or use, or come into contact with, shall

                                    8<PAGE>
be and remain the sole property of the Company.  The Employee shall

be allowed to remove any of the above listed materials from the

Company's premises for a business purpose for use at Employee's

home or elsewhere, unless specifically prohibited by a written

notice received from the Company.


                            ARTICLE 7

                           Termination

     7.1  Termination For Cause.  This Agreement and the employment

                                    12<PAGE>
          (e)  Subject to Section 7.5, if the Employee is

participating in a Company bonus plan as of the date of

termination, he shall be entitled to an accrued bonus through the

date of termination, computed on a per diem basis based upon the

bonus which would have otherwise been payable to the Employee for

the fiscal year during which the date of termination falls had the

Agreement not been terminated, computed on the same basis as in

effect immediately prior to the date of termination, which bonus

shall be paid as and when the same would have otherwise been

payable under the bonus plan had the Agreement not been terminated;

and 

          (f)  Except as provided in Article 11, this Agreement

shall be of no further force or effect.

     7.5  Mitigation and Offset.  In the event of a termination of

employment hereunder, the Employee shall be under no obligation to

seek alternative employment or other gainful occupation during the

period from the termination of this Agreement through the Scheduled

Termination Date (the "Unexpired Term") by way of mitigation of

amounts payable to the Employee under this Article 7; provided,

however, that if the Employee provides, directly or indirectly

(including through any personal service entity), any services

(whether as employee, consultant, independent contractor or

otherwise) to any person engaged in a business similar to the

business of the Company as then conducted (a "Third Party") during

the Unexpired Term, all amounts paid or payable to the Employee by

or on behalf of such Third Party in respect thereof ("Offset

                                    13<PAGE>
Amounts") shall reduce any amounts payable thereafter by the

Company to the Employee under Sections 7.4(c), (d) and (e) hereof

on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Upon the request of the Company,

from time to time, the Employee shall certify in writing to the

Company all Offset Amounts received or receivable by him and shall

provide the Company with true copies of all written agreements and

a summary of the terms of all oral agreements pursuant to which

such Offset Amounts are paid or payable to the Employee.

     7.6  Full Settlement.  The payments provided for in Article 7

of this Agreement are in full settlement of any claims the Employee

may have against the Company arising out of his termination,

including, but not limited to, any claims for wrongful discharge;

provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit any rights or

obligations of the parties under any other agreement with the

Company or any pension, severance, retirement, stock option,

deferred compensation or other benefit plans of the Company which

are applicable to the Employee and which provide for specified

rights and obligations in the event of a termination of the

Employee's employment with the Company.



                            ARTICLE 8

              Non-Competition And Non-Interference

     8.1  Non-Competition.  The Employee agrees that during the

Term hereof and for a period of one year thereafter, except in the

case of a Termination Without Cause, the Employee will not,

directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of or in conjunction

                                    14<PAGE>
with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity,

own, manage, control, join, or participate in the ownership,

management, operation, or control of, or be financially interested

in or advise, lend money to, or be employed by or provide

consulting services to, or be connected in any manner with (a) any

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store,

warehouse store or any similar business located in market areas

where the Company operates; or (b) any company, entity or business

with which Company was in active negotiation for the purchase of a

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store or

warehouse store at the time of termination of the Employee's

employment, or with any other company which shall acquire such

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store or

warehouse store.  The Employee acknowledges that the business of

the Company is presently conducted throughout the counties in

Florida listed on Exhibit B attached hereto and any county

contiguous thereto and that such counties constitute the present

market area of the Company.

     Ownership of less than 1% of the stock in a publicly-held

company shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8.1.

     8.2  Non-Interference.  The Employee agrees that during the

Term hereof and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee

will not, directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of or in

conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or

other entity, induce or entice any employee of the Company to leave

such employment or cause anyone else to do so.

                                    15<PAGE>
     8.3  Severability.  If any covenant or provision contained in

Section 8.1 is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or

in part, it shall not be deemed to affect or impair the validity of

any other covenant or provision.  The parties intend that the

covenants contained in Section 8.1 shall be deemed to be a series

of separate covenants, one for each county referenced therein. 

Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall

be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in such

Section.  If, in any arbitral or judicial proceeding, a court shall

refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included in

such Section, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed

eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such

proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining

separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings.



                            ARTICLE 9

                            Remedies

     9.1  Equitable Remedies.  The Employee and the Company agree

that the services to be rendered by the Employee pursuant to this

Agreement, and the rights and interests granted and the obligations

to be performed by the Employee to the Company pursuant to this

Agreement, are of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual

character, which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which

cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any

action at law, and that a breach by the Employee of any of the

terms of the Agreement will cause the Company great and irreparable

                                    16<PAGE>
injury and damage.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach

of Article 6, Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, the Employee hereby

expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the remedies

of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to

prevent a breach of the Agreement, both pendente lite and

permanently, against the Employee, as such breach would cause

irreparable injury to the Company and a remedy at law would be

inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, the Company may, in

addition to pursuing its other remedies, obtain an injunction from

any court having jurisdiction in the matter restraining any further

violation.  The Employee agrees that a bond in the amount of $5,000

shall be adequate security for issuance of any temporary

injunction.  The Company shall also be entitled to such damages as

it can show it has sustained, directly or indirectly, by reason of

said breach.

     9.2  Rights and Remedies Preserved.  Nothing in this Agreement

except Sections 7.6 and 10.11 shall limit any right or remedy the

Company or the Employee may have under this Agreement or pursuant

to law for any breach of this Agreement by the other party.  Except

as set forth in Sections 7.6 and 10.11, the rights granted to the

Company and the Employee herein are cumulative and the election of

one shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to assert

all other legal remedies available under the circumstances.







                                    17<PAGE>
                           ARTICLE 10

                          Miscellaneous

     10.1 No Waivers.  The failure of either party to enforce any

provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of

any such provision, nor prevent such party thereafter from

enforcing such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

     10.2 Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company and the

Employee under the terms of this Agreement may be delivered

personally, by telecopy, telex or other form of written electronic

transmission, or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,

not be affected thereby.

     10.4 Successors and Assigns.  The rights and obligations of

the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and

be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company,

including the survivor upon any merger, consolidation or

combination of the Company with any other entity.  The Employee

shall not have the right to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer

any duty or obligation to be performed by him hereunder to any

person or entity, nor to assign or transfer any rights hereunder.

     10.5 Entire Agreement.  With respect to the terms of

Employee's employment, this Agreement supersedes all prior

agreements and understandings between the parties hereto, oral or

written, and may not be modified or terminated orally.  No

modification, termination or attempted waiver shall be valid unless

in writing, signed by the party against whom such modification,

termination or waiver is sought to be enforced.  This Agreement was

the subject of negotiation by the parties hereto and their counsel.


The parties agree that no prior drafts of this Agreement shall be

admissible as evidence (whether in any arbitration or court of law)

                                    19<PAGE>
in any proceeding which involves the interpretation of any

original.

     10.11  Arbitration.  The parties hereto agree that any dispute

concerning or arising out of the provisions of the Agreement shall

                                    20<PAGE>
be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the

RELOCATION GUIDELINES
KEY MANAGEMENT POSITIONS
                   (STORE MANAGERS AND ABOVE)

The following guidelines are intended to clarify, for the
individuals involved, the basic relocation program provided by Kash
n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. when relocating key management personnel
at the store manager and above levels.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In all cases, it is understood that any payments made to or on
behalf of employees who are relocating, may be treated as taxable
income under the then current IRS regulations. Individuals
relocating need to take into consideration in planning their move
the income tax ramifications of these expenses and the effect they
have on their tax liability during the total time it takes for the
relocation to be completed.

SALE/PURCHASE OF RESIDENCE 

Expenses will be covered up to a maximum of $10,000.00 for items
related to the sale of the current residence such a realtor fees,
title search and attorney fees.  On the new home purchase, attorney
fees are covered; points and discount fees, which are generally
treated as interest and deductible expenses under current IRS
regulations, are excluded.

MOVING COSTS

Expenses related to moving household goods from the current (old)
residence to the new residence, are covered, excluding such unusual
items as rock collections, boats, second automobiles.  Storage of
household goods is not covered.

MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE

For a period not to exceed 12 months, the company will pay the
lesser of the two (2) mortgage payments (New residence or Old
Residence).  To qualify and be eligible for continuing payments,
you must: 1) Be actively marketing the property for Sale by a
licensed Real Estate Firm, 2) The Real Estate Firm must have
written authority to discuss the sale of the property with
representatives of the Company, 3) The property must be maintained
in good, clean selling appearance, inside and out, 4) Any damage by
storm, vandals or other acts must be immediately repaired at your
expense.

Any reduction in the mortgage principal balance during the time the
company is making mortgage payments on your behalf shall be used to
offset the total expense incurred during the relocation and be
treated as part of the direct payments by Kash n' Karry Food
Stores, Inc. to you for covered expenses.<PAGE>
TEMPORARY BRIDGE LOAN

To expedite your relocation, the company will provide an interest
free bridge loan, payable immediately on the sale of the old
residence.  The bridge loan shall be for up to 75% of the equity
value in the "old" residence, not to exceed $50,000.00.  The equity
value shall be determined by the average of at least two (2) Market
Analysis reports submitted by independent, licensed Real Estate
Brokers, minus the current mortgage principal balance as certified
in writing by your mortgage company.  A promissory note must be
signed and a Deed of Trust against the new property may be
required.  Repayment of the bridge loan is required immediately at
the time of Closing/Settlement on the old residence.

RELOCATION OF SPOUSE/FAMILY

Generally one (1) round trip airfare will be provided for your
spouse to "house hunt" in the area.  This expense is evaluated on
an individual basis.  We assume that the employee, spouse and
family will drive to the area for the relocation.  During this
travel, expenses for motel(s), meal(s) and gasoline are covered
based on submission of receipts for actual expense incurred.  Meals
are covered at the rate of $12.00 per day per family member.

TRANSITION EXPENSE/TEMPORARY HOUSING

We will cover temporary housing during relocation for you for up to
sixty (60) days.  Should you be housed in a location that does not
offer kitchen facilities, we provide $60.00 per week allowance for
meals.  No receipts are necessary should this arrangement be
necessary.  If kitchen facilities are available no food allowance
is provided.

LAUNDRY EXPENSE

Laundry expenses are covered, when your temporary residence does
not include laundry.  Receipts are required for reimbursement of
this expense.

(the "Term") shall commence on March 26, 1995 (the "Commencement

     3.1  Salary.  As compensation for the services to be rendered

by the Employee, the Company shall pay the Employee, during the

Term of this Agreement, an annual salary in the amount of One

Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($130,000), which salary shall

accrue weekly (prorated for periods less than a week) and shall be

payable in equal weekly installments, in arrears.

     3.2  Other Compensation.  During the Term hereof, the Employee

shall be entitled to participate, on a basis proportionate to the

participation of the other executive officers of the Company, in

any compensatory plan, contract or arrangement that is available to

the Company's most senior executive officers from time to time

during the Term hereof, including, but not limited to (a) the

Company's current bonus plan, generally referred to as the

Incentive Compensation Plan, as in effect on the Commencement Date,

and (b) a management stock option plan to be adopted by the Company

on such terms as shall be hereafter determined by the Board of

Directors (the "Proposed Stock Option Plan").  When the Company

adopts the Proposed Stock Option Plan, the Company will grant to

the Employee thereunder options to purchase Six-tenths of One

Percent (.6%) of the then outstanding common stock of the Company

on a fully-diluted basis, on the terms set forth therein.  Also,

for purposes of determining the Employee's Target Bonus under the

the parties agree that the Employee's Target Percentage will be not

                                    4<PAGE>
less than Fifty Percent (50%), and that the Employee's base salary

under the plan will be the Employee's annual salary under this

Agreement, prorated on a weekly basis over the remaining period of

that fiscal year.

     3.3  Benefits and Perquisites.  The Employee shall be

entitled, during the Term hereof, to the same medical, hospital,

dental and life insurance coverage and benefits, vacations, and

other perquisites, as are available to the Company's most senior

executive officers on the Commencement Date or benefits that are

substantially comparable, including those benefits described in the

letter dated February 20, 1995, from Ron Johnson to Cliff Smith,

attached hereto as Exhibit A.  

     3.4  Withholding.  Any and all amounts payable under this

Agreement, including, without limitation, amounts payable in the

event of the termination hereof under Sections 7.3 and 7.4 hereof,

are subject to withholding for such federal, state and local taxes

as the Company in its reasonable judgment determines to be required

pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation.

     3.5  Annual Review.   No less frequently than annually, the

Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall review the Employee's

performance of his duties and services under this Agreement, and

may, commensurate with the Employee's and the Company's performance

and subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the

Company, increase, but not decrease, the salary, stock options,

other compensation and benefits payable to the Employee under this

Agreement during the remaining Term.

The Company shall reimburse the Employee for all the Employee's

reasonable expenses incurred while employed and performing his

procedures and the Internal Revenue Code.

     4.2  Insurance.  The Company may secure in its own name or

otherwise, and at its own expense, life, disability and other

insurance covering the Employee or the Employee and others, and the

Employee shall not have any right, title or interest in or to such

insurance other than as expressly provided herein.  The Employee

agrees to assist the Company in procuring such insurance by

submitting to the usual and customary medical and other

examinations to be conducted by such physician(s) as the Employee,

the Company or such insurance company may agree to and designate

and by signing such applications and other written instruments as

                                    6<PAGE>
may be required by the insurance companies to which application is

made for such insurance.

Agreement, the Employee shall be unable to perform in all material

respects his duties hereunder for a period exceeding one hundred

twenty (120) consecutive calendar days, or a total of one hundred

eighty-six (186) non-consecutive calendar days, by reason of

illness or incapacity, this Agreement may be terminated by the

Company at its election pursuant to Section 7.2(b) hereof.

     5.2  Right to Replace.  If the Employee's illness or

incapacity, whether by physical or mental cause, renders him unable

for a minimum period of 30 consecutive calendar days to carry out

his duties and responsibilities as set forth herein, the Company

shall have the right to designate a person to temporarily succeed

the Employee in the capacity described in Article 1 hereof;

provided, however, that if the Employee returns to work from such

illness or incapacity within the six (6) month period following his

inability due to illness or incapacity, he shall be entitled to be

reinstated in the capacity described in Article 1 hereof with all

duties and privileges attendant thereto.

     5.3  Rights Prior to Termination.  The Employee shall be

entitled to his full remuneration and benefits hereunder during

such illness or incapacity unless and until an election is made by

                                    7<PAGE>
the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the

provisions of this Article.

limitation, development ideas, acquisition strategies and plans,

financial information, records, "know-how", methods of doing

business, customer, supplier and distributor lists and all other

confidential information of the Company.  The Employee shall not be

obligated to maintain the confidential nature of information the

disclosure of which is required by law or which already is in the

public domain.  The Employee shall not use (other than in

connection with his employment), in any way whatsoever, such trade

secrets except as authorized in writing by the Company.  The

Employee shall, upon terminating his employment, deliver to the

Company any and all records, books, documents or any other

materials whatsoever (including all copies thereof) containing such

trade secrets, which shall be and remain the property of the

Company.

     6.2  Ownership of Records.    All documents, papers,

materials, notes, books, correspondence, drawings and other written

and graphical records relating to the Business of the Company which

the Employee shall prepare or use, or come into contact with, shall

                                    8<PAGE>
be and remain the sole property of the Company.  The Employee shall

be allowed to remove any of the above listed materials from the

Company's premises for a business purpose for use at Employee's

home or elsewhere, unless specifically prohibited by a written

notice received from the Company.



                            ARTICLE 7

                           Termination

     7.1  Termination For Cause.  This Agreement and the employment

of the Employee may be terminated by the Company "For Cause" in any

or misappropriation that result in or are intended to result in his

personal enrichment at the expense of the Company;

the performance of his obligations, services or duties hereunder,

which shall include, without limitation, the Employee's

Employee's failure to achieve agreed upon performance objectives,

the Employee's acting in a manner materially inconsistent with the

policies of the Company or its affiliates, as promulgated from time

to time in writing and which are generally applicable to all

employees and/or senior executives of the Company, the Employee's

acting in a manner materially inconsistent with the customary

standards of performance applicable to persons in similar positions

                                    9<PAGE>
in the supermarket industry in the United States, or if the

Employee has breached any other material provision of this

Agreement; provided that if, and only if, such default or breach is

curable, the Employee shall not be in default hereunder unless he

shall have failed to cure such default or breach within a

reasonable period of time (depending upon the type of default or

breach) after receipt of written notice thereof by the Company to

the Employee;

          (c)  The Employee is grossly negligent, which causes

which, individually, or in the aggregate, reflect substantially and

materially adversely upon, or have a substantially and materially

adverse impact on, the Company.

     A termination For Cause under this Section 7.1 shall be

title, responsibilities or duties; provided, that if, and only if,

such default, breach, diminution or change is curable, the Employee

or change within fifteen (15) days of written notice thereof

provided by the Employee to the Company; or

          (d)  upon the Employee's death.

     A termination Without Cause under this Section 7.2 shall be

seek alternative employment or other gainful occupation during the

period from the termination of this Agreement through the Scheduled

Termination Date (the "Unexpired Term") by way of mitigation of

amounts payable to the Employee under this Article 7; provided,

however, that if the Employee provides, directly or indirectly

(including through any personal service entity), any services

(whether as employee, consultant, independent contractor or

otherwise) to any person engaged in a business similar to the

business of the Company as then conducted (a "Third Party") during

the Unexpired Term, all amounts paid or payable to the Employee by

or on behalf of such Third Party in respect thereof ("Offset

                                    13<PAGE>
Amounts") shall reduce any amounts payable thereafter by the

Company to the Employee under Sections 7.4(c), (d) and (e) hereof

on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Upon the request of the Company,

from time to time, the Employee shall certify in writing to the

     7.6  Full Settlement.  The payments provided for in Article 7

of this Agreement are in full settlement of any claims the Employee

may have against the Company arising out of his termination,

including, but not limited to, any claims for wrongful discharge;

provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit any rights or

obligations of the parties under any other agreement with the

Company or any pension, severance, retirement, stock option,

deferred compensation or other benefit plans of the Company which

are applicable to the Employee and which provide for specified

rights and obligations in the event of a termination of the

Employee's employment with the Company.



                            ARTICLE 8

              Non-Competition And Non-Interference

     8.1  Non-Competition.  The Employee agrees that during the

Term hereof and for a period of one year thereafter, except in the

case of a Termination Without Cause, the Employee will not,

directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of or in conjunction

                                    14<PAGE>
with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity,

own, manage, control, join, or participate in the ownership,

management, operation, or control of, or be financially interested

in or advise, lend money to, or be employed by or provide

consulting services to, or be connected in any manner with (a) any

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store,

warehouse store or any similar business located in market areas

where the Company operates; or (b) any company, entity or business

with which Company was in active negotiation for the purchase of a

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store or

warehouse store at the time of termination of the Employee's

employment, or with any other company which shall acquire such

supermarket, retail food store, grocery store, liquor store or

warehouse store.  The Employee acknowledges that the business of

the Company is presently conducted throughout the counties in

Florida listed on Exhibit B attached hereto and any county

contiguous thereto and that such counties constitute the present

market area of the Company.

     Ownership of less than 1% of the stock in a publicly-held

company shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 8.1.

     8.2  Non-Interference.  The Employee agrees that during the

Term hereof and for a period of one year thereafter, the Employee

will not, directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of or in

conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, corporation or

other entity, induce or entice any employee of the Company to leave

such employment or cause anyone else to do so.

                                    15<PAGE>
     8.3  Severability.  If any covenant or provision contained in

Section 8.1 is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or

in part, it shall not be deemed to affect or impair the validity of

any other covenant or provision.  The parties intend that the

covenants contained in Section 8.1 shall be deemed to be a series

of separate covenants, one for each county referenced therein. 

Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall

be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in such

Section.  If, in any arbitral or judicial proceeding, a court shall

refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants deemed included in

such Section, then such unenforceable covenants shall be deemed

eliminated from the provisions hereof for the purpose of such

proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining

separate covenants to be enforced in such proceedings.



                            ARTICLE 9

                            Remedies

     9.1  Equitable Remedies.  The Employee and the Company agree

that the services to be rendered by the Employee pursuant to this

Agreement, and the rights and interests granted and the obligations

to be performed by the Employee to the Company pursuant to this

Agreement, are of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual

character, which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which

cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any

action at law, and that a breach by the Employee of any of the

terms of the Agreement will cause the Company great and irreparable

                                    16<PAGE>
injury and damage.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach

of Article 6, Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, the Employee hereby

expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to the remedies

of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to

prevent a breach of the Agreement, both pendente lite and

permanently, against the Employee, as such breach would cause

irreparable injury to the Company and a remedy at law would be

inadequate and insufficient.  Therefore, the Company may, in

addition to pursuing its other remedies, obtain an injunction from

any court having jurisdiction in the matter restraining any further

violation.  The Employee agrees that a bond in the amount of $5,000

shall be adequate security for issuance of any temporary

injunction.  The Company shall also be entitled to such damages as

it can show it has sustained, directly or indirectly, by reason of

said breach.

     9.2  Rights and Remedies Preserved.  Nothing in this Agreement

except Sections 7.6 and 10.11 shall limit any right or remedy the

Company or the Employee may have under this Agreement or pursuant

to law for any breach of this Agreement by the other party.  Except

as set forth in Sections 7.6 and 10.11, the rights granted to the

Company and the Employee herein are cumulative and the election of

one shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to assert

all other legal remedies available under the circumstances.







                                    17<PAGE>
                           ARTICLE 10

                          Miscellaneous

     10.1 No Waivers.  The failure of either party to enforce any

provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of

any such provision, nor prevent such party thereafter from

enforcing such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

     10.2 Notices.  Any notice to be given to the Company and the

Employee under the terms of this Agreement may be delivered

personally, by telecopy, telex or other form of written electronic

be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the

remainder of the provisions, or enforceable parts thereof, shall

not be affected thereby.

     10.4 Successors and Assigns.  The rights and obligations of

the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and

be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company,

including the survivor upon any merger, consolidation or

combination of the Company with any other entity.  The Employee

shall not have the right to assign, delegate or otherwise transfer

any duty or obligation to be performed by him hereunder to any

person or entity, nor to assign or transfer any rights hereunder.

     10.5 Entire Agreement.  With respect to the terms of

Employee's employment, this Agreement supersedes all prior

agreements and understandings between the parties hereto, oral or

written, and may not be modified or terminated orally.  No

modification, termination or attempted waiver shall be valid unless

in writing, signed by the party against whom such modification,

termination or waiver is sought to be enforced.  This Agreement was

the subject of negotiation by the parties hereto and their counsel.

The parties agree that no prior drafts of this Agreement shall be

admissible as evidence (whether in any arbitration or court of law)

                                    19<PAGE>
in any proceeding which involves the interpretation of any

and shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver

such further documents as may be reasonably requested by any other

party in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this

Agreement.

construed as though in the plural and words in the plural shall be

read and construed as though in the singular in all cases where

they would so apply.

     10.10  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in

counterparts, all of which taken together shall be deemed one

original.

     10.11  Arbitration.  The parties hereto agree that any dispute

concerning or arising out of the provisions of the Agreement shall


                                    20<PAGE>
be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the

American Arbitration Association.  Such arbitration shall be held

in Tampa, Florida and the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be

conclusive and binding on the parties and shall be enforceable by

either party in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The

arbitrator may, in his or her discretion, award attorneys' fees and

costs to such party as he or she sees fit in rendering his or her

decision.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dispute arises

hereunder as to which the Company desires to exercise any rights or

                        RELOCATION GUIDELINES
                     KEY MANAGEMENT POSITIONS

                   (STORE MANAGERS AND ABOVE)

The following guidelines are intended to clarify, for the
individuals involved, the basic relocation program provided by Kash
n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. when relocating key management personnel
at the store manager and above levels.

INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

In all cases, it is understood that any payments made to or on
behalf of employees who are relocating, may be treated as taxable
income under the then current IRS regulations. Individuals
relocating need to take into consideration in planning their move
the income tax ramifications of these expenses and the effect they
have on their tax liability during the total time it takes for the
relocation to be completed.

SALE/PURCHASE OF RESIDENCE 

Expenses will be covered up to a maximum of $10,000.00 for items
related to the sale of the current residence such a realtor fees,
title search and attorney fees.  On the new home purchase, attorney
fees are covered; points and discount fees, which are generally
treated as interest and deductible expenses under current IRS
regulations, are excluded.

MOVING COSTS

Expenses related to moving household goods from the current (old)
residence to the new residence, are covered, excluding such unusual
items as rock collections, boats, second automobiles.  Storage of
household goods is not covered.

MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE

For a period not to exceed 12 months, the company will pay the
lesser of the two (2) mortgage payments (New residence or Old
Residence).  To qualify and be eligible for continuing payments,
you must: 1) Be actively marketing the property for Sale by a
licensed Real Estate Firm, 2) The Real Estate Firm must have
written authority to discuss the sale of the property with
representatives of the Company, 3) The property must be maintained
in good, clean selling appearance, inside and out, 4) Any damage by
storm, vandals or other acts must be immediately repaired at your
expense.

Any reduction in the mortgage principal balance during the time the
company is making mortgage payments on your behalf shall be used to
offset the total expense incurred during the relocation and be
treated as part of the direct payments by Kash n' Karry Food
Stores, Inc. to you for covered expenses.



<PAGE>
TEMPORARY BRIDGE LOAN

To expedite your relocation, the company will provide an interest
free bridge loan, payable immediately on the sale of the old
residence.  The bridge loan shall be for up to 75% of the equity
value in the "old" residence, not to exceed $50,000.00.  The equity
value shall be determined by the average of at least two (2) Market
Analysis reports submitted by independent, licensed Real Estate
Brokers, minus the current mortgage principal balance as certified
in writing by your mortgage company.  A promissory note must be
signed and a Deed of Trust against the new property may be
required.  Repayment of the bridge loan is required immediately at
the time of Closing/Settlement on the old residence.

RELOCATION OF SPOUSE/FAMILY

Generally one (1) round trip airfare will be provided for your
spouse to "house hunt" in the area.  This expense is evaluated on
an individual basis.  We assume that the employee, spouse and
family will drive to the area for the relocation.  During this
travel, expenses for motel(s), meal(s) and gasoline are covered
based on submission of receipts for actual expense incurred.  Meals
are covered at the rate of $12.00 per day per family member.

TRANSITION EXPENSE/TEMPORARY HOUSING

We will cover temporary housing during relocation for you for up to
sixty (60) days.  Should you be housed in a location that does not
offer kitchen facilities, we provide $60.00 per week allowance for
meals.  No receipts are necessary should this arrangement be
necessary.  If kitchen facilities are available no food allowance
is provided.

LAUNDRY EXPENSE

Laundry expenses are covered, when your temporary residence does
not include laundry.  Receipts are required for reimbursement of
this expense.

                      Incentive Compensation Plan

Introduction

     Selected positions are eligible for the Kash n' Karry

Incentive Compensation Plan.  The list of eligible positions is

annually reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee.  Each

eligible position is assigned a bonus percentage based upon a

number of factors including the responsibility of the job and the

direct impact the job has upon the Company's operating profit. 

Each participant will receive a letter from the Executive Committee

stating his/her target percentage for the upcoming year.  To

determine your Target Bonus simply multiply your base salary by the

target percentage:

              Example:

              1) Target Percentage      15%

              2) Base Salary            $40,000

              3) Target Bonus (1 X 2)   $6,000


Changes in responsibility or base salary during the year will be

pro-rated as appropriate.


Adjusted Target Bonus

     At the end of the fiscal year, your Target Bonus may be

adjusted either up or down based upon our achievement of Budgeted

Operating Profit.  If the Company exceeds Budgeted Operating Profit

your Target Bonus could double!  But, if the Company fails to

achieve its Budgeted Operating Profit, your Target bonus will be

reduced.  The following will be used to determine your Adjusted

Target Bonus:<PAGE>

              97%                                 .85
              96%                                 .80
              95%                                 .75
              94%                                 .60

              90%                                  0


Performance Ratio = Actual Operating Profit divided by Budgeted
                    Operating Profit

Operating Profit =  Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation
                    and Amortization

The following illustrates both a situation in which the Company

exceeds or falls short of its budget.

     Example A:

        Budgeted Operating Profit            $54.5

        Actual Operating Profit              $57.0

        Performance Ratio                    105%

        Target Bonus Multiplier              1.25

        Adjusted Target Bonus                $6,000 X 1.25 = $7,500

<PAGE>
     Example B:

        Budgeted Operating Profit            $54.5

        Actual Operating Profit              $53.0

        Performance Ratio                    97%

        Target Bonus Multiplier              .85

        Adjusted Target Bonus                $6,000 X .85 = $5,100


Achievement and Payout Ratio

     Your Bonus Award is based upon the achievement of your

Performance Planning Objectives.  Kash n' Karry has used PPO's for

many years as a means to focus effort toward the achievement of

goals that are most important to the success of the Company.  The

Plan calls for PPO's to be written so that 80% of the weighting is

based on the achievement of specific budgets approved by the

Executive Committee.  The remainder are to be tied to personal

development and customer service goals as determined by you and

your supervisor.  The actual weighting of these goals will be

communicated to you during the performance planning process.


     The following table is to be used to determine the Payout

Ratio for given levels of achievement of a specific budget

objective:



<PAGE>
                          Achievement Table A

             % of Achievement             Payout Ratio
              100% or above                   100%

              1% unfavorable                   95%

              2% unfavorable                   90%

              3% unfavorable                   85%

              4% unfavorable                   80%

              5% unfavorable                   75%

              6% unfavorable                   60%

              7% unfavorable                   50%

              8% unfavorable                   30%

              9% unfavorable                   15%

              10% unfavorable                   0

The following two examples illustrate both an expense objective and
a profit objective.

  Example A:

  1) Budgeted R & M Expenses .79% of sales

  2) Actual R & M Expenses   .81% of sales

  3) % Achievement           = .81%/.79% = 102.53 or 3% unfavorable

  4) Payout Ratio            = 85%

   Example B:

   1) Budgeted District Operating Profit   $12.0

   2) Actual District Operating Profit     $12.5

   3) % Achievement                        = 104.2

   4) Payout Ratio                         = 100%

     Personal development and customer service objectives may not

lend themselves to measurement against Table A.  For example, an

objective might be to train and become <PAGE>
competent in another area of the business for personal development.

The achievement of this objective is not objectively measurable and

will be subject to the judgement of your supervisor.  

     The following table is to be used to determine the Payout

Ratio for these types of objectives. 

                      Achievement Table B

           Level of Achievement             Payout Ratio

      A Meet or exceed objective               100%

      B Satisfied most of objective            .90

      C Satisfied majority of the objective    .50

      D Did something right                    .30

      F Unsatisfactory achievement              0

Determining the Bonus Award

     After each objective is measured and the payout ratio is

determined using the appropriate table, the payout ratio for each

objective is then multiplied by the weighted factor for the

objective to determine the weighted payout percentage.  The weights

are assigned at the beginning of the year during the Performance

Planning Process.

Example:

Objective  Table Weight    % Achievement     Weighted Payout
   1         A    50%   X       85%       =      42.5
   2         A    20%   X      100%       =      20.0
   3         B    10%   X       90%       =       9.0
   4         B    15%   X       50%       =       7.5
   5         B     5%   X       0         =        0 
                 100%                            79.0%

     In this example, the participant would be paid 79.0% of the

Adjusted Target Bonus.  In the two examples discussed under

Adjusted Target Bonus - that would be:<PAGE>
      Example A     79%   X   $7,500   =  $5,925

      Example B     79%   X   $5,100   =  $4,029



Plan Administration

     The Company has the right to make changes to this Plan at any

time.  In addition, if Kash n' Karry's overall financial condition

does not warrant the paying of Bonus Awards, awards could be

reduced or eliminated for a period of time. 

     The Board of Directors makes the final determination of Bonus

Award payouts.

     While the Company expects to continue the Plan, it reserves

the right to change, modify, suspend, interpret, or cancel the

program in whole or in part, without advance notice, without having

to give cause or justification.  It is also important to understand

that this program does not constitute a contract of employment or

in any way contravene our employment at will policy.

and from time to time remove members from, or add members to, the
Committee.  Actions of the Committee shall be taken by the vote
of a majority of its members.  Any action may be taken by a

and action so taken shall be fully as effective as if it had been
taken by a vote at a meeting.  

          3.2. Plan Administration and Plan Rules.  The Committee
is authorized to construe and interpret the Plan and to
promulgate, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the implementation, administration and maintenance of the Plan. 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee
shall make all determinations necessary or advisable for the
implementation, administration and maintenance of the Plan
                                    4<PAGE>
including, without limitation, (a) selecting the Plan's

Committee shall determine, (c) imposing such restrictions, terms
and conditions upon such Awards as the Committee shall deem
appropriate, and (d) correcting any technical defects(s) or

inconsistency(ies), in the Plan and/or any Award Agreement.  The
Committee may designate persons other than members of the
Committee to carry out the day-to-day ministerial administration
of the Plan under such conditions and limitations as it may
prescribe, except that the Committee shall not delegate its
authority with regard to the selection of Participants in the
Plan and/or the granting of any Awards to Participants.  The
Committee's determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and
may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such
Participants are similarly situated.  Any determination, decision
or action of the Committee in connection with the construction,
interpretation, administration, implementation or maintenance of
the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all
Participants and any person(s) claiming under or through any
Participants.  The Company shall effect the granting of Awards

Committee, by execution of written agreements and/or other
instruments in such form as is approved by the Committee.

          3.3. Liability Limitation.  Neither the Board nor the

good faith in connection with the Plan (or any Award Agreement),
and the members of the Board and the Committee shall be entitled
to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of
any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to
the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors
and officers liability insurance coverage which may be in effect

     4.  Term of Plan/Common Stock Subject to Plan.

          4.1. Term.  The Plan shall terminate on December 31,
2005, except with respect to Awards then outstanding.  After such
date, no further Awards shall be granted under the Plan.

          4.2. Common Stock.  The maximum number of shares of
Common Stock in respect of which Stock Options may be granted
under the Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9.2
of the Plan, shall not exceed 236,946 shares of Common Stock.  In
the event of a change in the Common Stock of the Company that is
limited to a change in the designation thereof to "Capital Stock"
or other similar designation, or to a change in the par value
thereof, or from par value to no par value, without increase or
decrease in the number of issued shares, the shares resulting
                                    5<PAGE>
from any such change shall be deemed to be the Common Stock for
purposes of the Plan.  Common Stock which may be issued under the
Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares or issued
shares which have been reacquired by the Company (in the open
market or in private transactions) and which are being held as
treasury shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued under the Plan.

          4.3. Computation of Available Shares.  For the purpose
of computing the total number of shares of Common Stock available
for Stock Options under the Plan, there shall be counted against
the limitations set forth in Section 4.2 of the Plan the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock potentially subject to issuance
upon exercise of Stock Options granted under Section 6 of the
Plan, determined as of the Date of Grant.  If any Stock Options
expire unexercised or are forfeited, surrendered, cancelled or
otherwise terminated, or if any shares of Common Stock are
tendered in payment of any Stock Options, the shares of Common
Stock which were theretofore subject to such Stock Options shall
again be available for Stock Options under the Plan to the extent
of such expiration, forfeiture, surrender, cancellation, or other
termination of such Stock Options.

     5.   Eligibility.  Individuals eligible for Awards under the
Plan shall consist of all salaried key employees (including
officers), or those who will become salaried key employees
(including officers), of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates.  A Participant who has been granted an Award under
the Plan may be granted an additional Award or Awards under the
Plan if the Committee shall so determine.

     6.   Awards.

          6.1. Terms and Conditions.  Stock Options granted under
the Plan shall be in respect of Common Stock.  The Committee may
designate any Stock Option as an Incentive Option, in which case
the Stock Option must comply with the requirements of Section
6.5.  If no designation is made, a Stock Option will constitute a
Nonqualified Option.  The Committee may grant a Participant both
Incentive Options and Nonqualified Options, at the same time or
at different times.   Awards shall be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 6, and any additional terms
and conditions, not inconsistent with the express terms and
provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall set forth in the
relevant Award Agreement.  Award Agreements need not be uniform. 
No Stock Option granted under the Plan may be exercised prior to
the approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders.

          6.2. Grant.  No Award shall be effective unless the
Participant executes and delivers to the Company, within thirty
(30) days following the date when he or she is given written
                                    6<PAGE>
notice of the Award, an Award Agreement (in a form prescribed by
the Committee).  

          6.3. Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of
Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall be determined by the
Committee, including, without limitation, a determination based
on a formula determined by the Committee, but shall in no event
be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

          6.4. Term.  The term of each Stock Option shall be such
period of time as is fixed by the Committee.

          6.5. Incentive Options.  Notwithstanding anything in
this Plan to the contrary, an Incentive Option must satisfy the
following additional requirements:

               6.5.1.    The Incentive Option must be designated
     as such by the Committee when it is granted;

               6.5.2.    This Plan must be approved by the
     shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before
     or after the effective date of the Plan;

               6.5.3.    The exercise price under the Incentive
     Option must equal at least one hundred percent (100%) of the
     Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Stock
     Option;

               6.5.4.    The Incentive Option must expire not
     more than ten (10) years after its Date of Grant; and

               6.5.5.    If, at the time an Incentive Option is
     granted to a Participant, such Participant owns (within the
     meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code) stock representing
     more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined Voting
     Interest of all classes of outstanding stock of either the
     Company or any Subsidiary, then: (a) the exercise price
     under the Incentive Option must equal at least one hundred
     ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common
     Stock subject to the Stock Option; (b) the Incentive Option
     must expire not more than five (5) years after its Date of
     Grant; and (c) in the event of a termination of the
     Participant's employment due to death, Retirement or
     Disability, the Participant's right to exercise any then
     exercisable Stock Options pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof
     shall expire on the ninetieth (90th) day following such
     termination of employment.

          6.6. Method of Exercise.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.7 of the Plan, a Stock Option may be exercised, in
whole or in part, or in increments, at any time or from time to
time before it expires.  A partial exercise of a Stock Option
                                    7<PAGE>
will not affect the Participant's subsequent right to exercise
the Stock Option as to the remaining Common Stock subject to the
Stock Option.  Any portion of a Stock Option that is exercised
may not be exercised again.  To exercise a Stock Option, a
Participant must do the following:  (a) deliver to the Company a
written notice of exercise, specifying the number of shares to be
purchased; (b) tender to the Company payment in full of the
exercise price; and (c) comply with such other reasonable
requirements as the Committee may establish.  The exercise date
of a Stock Option will be the date when the Company has received
the notice of exercise and full payment of the exercise price and
all other requirements established by the Committee have been
satisfied.  A Participant may pay all or any part of the exercise
price under a Stock Option in cash, by certified check, bank
draft or money order payable to the order of the Company or, if
permitted by the Committee (in its sole discretion) and
applicable law, rule or regulation, by delivery of, alone or in
conjunction with a partial cash or instrument payment, (x) shares
of Common Stock already owned by the Participant for at least six
(6) months, or (y) some other form of payment acceptable to the
Committee.  The Committee may also permit Participants (either on
a selective or group basis) to simultaneously exercise Stock
Options and sell the shares of Common Stock thereby acquired
pursuant to a "cashless exercise" arrangement or program,
selected by and approved of in all respects in advance by the
Committee.  Payment instruments shall be received by the Company
subject to collection.  The proceeds received by the Company upon
exercise of any Stock Option may be used by the Company for
general corporate purposes.  No one has the rights of a
shareholder with respect to Common Stock subject to a Stock
Option until a certificate evidencing such Common Stock has been
delivered to the person exercising the Stock Option.

          6.7. Exercisability.  In respect of any Stock Option
granted under the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee (in its sole discretion) at any time and from time to
time in respect of any such Stock Option, such Stock Option shall
not be exercisable during the Fiscal Year in which its Date of
Grant occurs, and thereafter will become exercisable in serial
increments after the last day of each Fiscal Year (without any
proration of vesting for a portion of any Fiscal Year) as
follows:

                                         Percent Exercisable
After Fiscal Year        Per Year            Cumulatively

     1*                    20%                    20%

     7.   Termination of Employment.

          7.1. Unexercisable Options.  Except as is otherwise
provided in the relevant Award Agreement as determined by the
Committee (in its sole discretion), and subject to any
determination of the Committee pursuant to Section 6.7 of the
Plan, if a Participant's employment with or performance of
services for the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any
reason (other than a Termination for Cause) any then
unexercisable Stock Options shall be forfeited and cancelled by
the Company.  In the event of a Termination for Cause, all rights
under the terminated Participant's exercisable and unexercisable
Stock Options shall expire and be forfeited and cancelled upon
any such termination.

          7.2. Exercisable Options.  Except as otherwise provided
in this Section 7.2, in the relevant Award Agreement or in
Section 7.3 below, if a Participant's employment with or
performance of services for the Company and its Subsidiaries
terminates for any reason, other than by reason of a Termination
for Cause, such Participant's rights, if any, to exercise any
then exercisable Stock Options shall terminate forty-five (45)
days after the date of such termination (but not beyond the
stated term of any such Stock Option as determined under Section
6.4 of the Plan) and thereafter such Stock Options shall be
forfeited and cancelled by the Company.  Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in
Section 6.5, in the relevant Award Agreement, or in Section 7.3
below, if any termination of employment is due to death,
Retirement or Disability, a Participant (and such Participant's
estate, designated beneficiary or other legal representative, as
the case may be and as determined by the Committee) shall have
the right, to the extent exercisable immediately prior to or as a
                                    9<PAGE>
result of any such termination, to exercise any Stock Option, if
any, at any time within the one hundred eighty (180) day period
following such termination (but not beyond the stated term of any
such Stock Option as determined under Section 6.4 of the Plan).

          7.3. Committee Discretion.  The Committee, in its sole
discretion, may determine that any Stock Option, to the extent
exercisable immediately prior to or as a result of any
termination of employment, may remain exercisable for an
additional specified period after such forty-five (45) day or one
hundred eighty (180) day period, or such longer period as may be
provided in the relevant Award Agreement, as the case may be,
expires (subject to any other applicable terms and provisions of
the Plan and the relevant Award Agreement), but not beyond the
stated term of any such Stock Option, as determined under Section
6.4 of the Plan.

     8.   Non-transferability of Awards.  No Award under the Plan
or any Award Agreement, and no rights or interests herein or
therein, shall or may be assigned, transferred, sold, exchanged,
encumbered, pledged, or otherwise hypothecated or disposed of by
a Participant or any beneficiary(ies) of any Participant, except
by testamentary disposition by the Participant or the laws of
intestate succession.  Upon any attempt to so assign, transfer,
sell, exchange, encumber, pledge or otherwise hypothecate or
dispose of any such Award contrary to the provisions hereof, such
Award shall immediately become null and void and of no further
force and effect.  No such interest shall be subject to
execution, attachment or similar legal process, including,
without limitation, seizure for the payment of the Participant's
debts, judgements, alimony or separate maintenance.  Stock
Options, if any, are exercisable during the lifetime of a
Participant only by the Participant and after his or her death by
his or her estate, designated beneficiary or other legal
representative, and not otherwise, regardless of any community
property interest therein of the spouse of such Participant or
such spouse's successor in interest.

     9.   Changes in Capitalization and Other Matters.

          9.1.  No Corporate Action Restriction.  The existence
of the Plan, any Award Agreement and/or the Awards granted
hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the
right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to
make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company's or any
Subsidiary's capital structure or its business, (b) any merger,
consolidation or change in the ownership of the Company or any
Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital,
preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the
Company's or any Subsidiary's capital stock or the rights
thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any
                                    10<PAGE>
Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the
Company's or any Subsidiary's assets or business, or (f) any
other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any
Subsidiary.  No Participant, beneficiary or any other person
shall have any claim against any member of the Board or the
Committee, the Company or any Subsidiary, or any employees,
officers or agents of the Company or any Subsidiary, as a result
of any such action.

          9.2.  Recapitalization Adjustments.  If the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased, decreased,
or changed into or exchanged for, a different number or kind of
securities of the Company through  a stock dividend,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, 
consolidation, subdivision, split-up, spin-off, split-off, or
combination, the Board shall authorize and make such
proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Board deems appropriate
to reflect such change, including, without limitation, with
respect to the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock for
which Stock Options in respect thereof may be granted under the
Plan, the number of shares of the Common Stock covered by each
outstanding Stock Option, and the exercise price or other price
per share of Common Stock in respect of outstanding Stock
Options.

          9.3.  Certain Mergers.  If the Company enters into or
is involved in any merger, reorganization or other business
combination with any person or entity (such merger,
reorganization or other business combination to be referred to
herein as a "Merger Event") and as a result of any such Merger
Event the Company will not be, or is not, the surviving
corporation, all Stock Options then unexercised and outstanding
shall become fully vested and exercisable  as of the date of the
consummation of the Merger Event.

     10.  Change of Control.

          10.1.  Acceleration of Awards Vesting.  Anything in the
Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control of
the Company (as defined in Section 10.2 of the Plan) occurs, all
Stock Options then unexercised and outstanding shall become fully
vested and exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control. 
The immediately preceding sentence shall apply to only those
Participants who are employed by the Company and/or one of its
Subsidiaries as of the date of the Change of Control.

          10.2.  Change of Control.  For the purpose of this
Plan, a "Change of Control" shall have occurred if at any time



                                    11<PAGE>
either (a) any person or any persons acting together (excluding
the Original Stockholders) that constitute a "group" for purposes
of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall beneficially own at
least fifty percent (50%) of the total Voting Interest of the
Company or (b) any person or any persons acting together
(excluding the Original Stockholders) that constitute a "group"
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall succeed
in having a sufficient number of its nominees elected to the
Board to constitute a majority of the Board.

     11.  Amendment, Suspension, and Termination.

          11.1.  In General.  The Board may suspend or terminate
the Plan (or any portion thereof) at any time and may amend the
Plan at any time and from time to time in such respects as the
Board may deem advisable to insure that any and all Awards
conform to or otherwise reflect any change in applicable laws or
regulations, or to permit the Company or the Participants to
benefit from any change in applicable laws or regulations, or in
any other respect the Board may deem to be in the best interests
of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that no such
amendment to the Plan shall, without shareholder approval:  
(a) except as provided in Section 9 of the Plan, materially
increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued
under the Plan, (b) materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the Plan, (c) materially
increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan
(this Section 11.1(c) shall not apply to any amendment or
modification of any Award Agreement permitted under Section 11.2
if such amendment or modification would not require shareholder
approval under SEC Rule 16b-3), (d) extend the termination date
of the Plan, or (e) amend clauses (a) through (d) of this Section
11.1.  No such amendment, suspension or termination shall (i)
materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant under
any outstanding Stock Options, without the consent of such
Participant, or (ii) make any change that would disqualify the
Plan, or any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary intended
to be so qualified, from the exemption provided by SEC Rule 16b-
3, or any successor provisions thereof.

          11.2.  Award Agreement Modifications.  The Committee
may (in its sole discretion) amend or modify at any time and from
time to time the terms and provisions of any outstanding Stock
Options, in any manner to the extent that the Committee under the
Plan or any Award Agreement could have initially determined the
restrictions, terms and provisions of such Stock Options,
including, without limitation, changing or accelerating the date
or dates as of which such Stock Options shall become exercisable. 
No such amendment or modification shall, however, materially
adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any such
Award without the consent of such Participant.

                                    12<PAGE>
     12.  Miscellaneous.

          12.1.  Tax Withholding.  The Company shall have the
right to require the Participant, upon the exercise of any Stock
Option, to remit or otherwise arrange for the payment of any
federal, state, local or other taxes of any kind which the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to be withheld
to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or
regulation.  

          12.2.  No Right to Perform Services.  Neither the
adoption of the Plan, the granting of any Award, nor the
execution of any Award Agreement, shall confer upon any employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued
employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, as the case may
be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right, if any, of
the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any
employee at any time for any reason.

          12.3.  Unfunded Plan.  The Plan shall be unfunded and
the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets in
connection with any Awards under the Plan.  Any liability of the
Company to any person with respect to any Award under the Plan or
any Award Agreement shall be based solely upon the contractual
obligations that may be created as a result of the Plan or any
such award or agreement.  No such obligation of the Company shall
be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, encumbrance on, or
other interest in, any property or asset of the Company or any
Subsidiary.  Nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement
shall be construed as creating in respect of any Participant (or
beneficiary thereof or any other person) any equity or other
interest of any kind in the assets of the Company or any
Subsidiary or creating a trust of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship of any kind between the Company, any Subsidiary
and/or any such Participant, any beneficiary thereof or any other
person.

          12.4.  Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs. 
Payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an
Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a
Participant's compensation for purposes of the determination of
benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or
arrangements, if any, provided by the Company or any Subsidiary
unless expressly provided in such other plans or arrangements, or
except where the Board expressly determines in writing that an
Award or portion of an Award should be included to accurately
reflect competitive compensation practices or to recognize that
an Award has been made in lieu of a portion of competitive annual
base salary or other cash compensation.  Awards under the Plan
may be made in addition to, in combination with, or as
alternatives to, grants, awards or payments under any other plans
or arrangements of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  The
                                    13<PAGE>
existence of the Plan notwithstanding, the Company or any
Subsidiary may adopt such other compensation plans or programs
and additional compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to
attract, retain and motivate employees.

          12.5.  Listing, Registration and Other Legal
Compliance.  No Awards or shares of the Common Stock shall be
required to be granted or issued under the Plan unless legal
counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such grant or
issuance will be in compliance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws and regulations and any other applicable
laws or regulations.  The Committee may require, as a condition
of any payment or share issuance, that certain agreements,
undertakings, representations, certificates, and/or information,
as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, in its sole
discretion, be executed or provided to the Company to assure
compliance with all such applicable laws or regulations. 
Certificates for shares of the Common Stock delivered under the
Plan may be subject to such stock-transfer orders and such other
restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules,
regulations, or other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange
or trading system upon which the Common Stock is then listed or
traded, and any applicable federal or state securities law.  In
addition, if, at any time specified herein (or in any Award
Agreement or otherwise) for (a) the making of any Award, or the
making of any determination, (b) the issuance or other
distribution of Common Stock, or (c) the payment of amounts to a
Participant with respect to any Award, any law, rule, regulation
or other requirement of any governmental authority or agency
shall require either the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Participant (or any estate, designated beneficiary or other legal
representative thereof, as the case may be, and as determined by
the Committee in its sole discretion) to take any action in
connection with any such determination, any shares to be issued
or distributed, any such payment, or the making of any such
determination, as the case may be, shall be deferred until such
required action is taken.  

          12.6.  Designation of Beneficiary.  Each Participant to
whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any option or to receive
any payment which, under the terms of the Plan and the relevant
Award Agreement, may become exercisable or payable on or after
the Participant's death.  At any time, and from time to time, any
such designation may be changed or cancelled by the Participant
without the consent of any such beneficiary.  Any such
designation, change or cancellation must be on a form provided
for that purpose by the Committee and shall not be effective
until received by the Committee.  If no beneficiary has been
designated by a deceased Participant, or if the designated
beneficiaries have predeceased the Participant, the beneficiary
shall be the Participant's estate.  If the Participant designates
                                    14<PAGE>
more than one (1) such beneficiary, any payments under the Plan
to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal shares unless the
Participant has expressly designated otherwise, in which case the
payments shall be made in the shares designated by the
Participant.

          12.7.  Leaves of Absence/Transfers.  The Committee
shall have the power to promulgate rules and regulations and to
make determinations, as it deems appropriate, under the Plan in
respect of any leave of absence from the Company or any
Subsidiary granted to a Participant.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Committee may determine whether
any such leave of absence shall be treated as if the Participant
has terminated employment with the Company or any such
Subsidiary.  If a Participant transfers within the Company, or to
or from any Subsidiary, such Participant shall not be deemed to
have terminated employment as a result of such transfers.

          12.8.  Governing Law.  The validity, construction,
enforcement and interpretation of this Plan, and all actions
taken hereunder, are governed by, and shall be construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware and the
federal laws of the United States of America, excluding the laws
of those jurisdictions pertaining to the resolution of conflicts
with laws of other jurisdictions.

          12.9.  Titles and Headings.  Any titles and headings
herein are for reference purposes only, and shall in no way
limit, define or otherwise affect the meaning, construction or
interpretation of any provisions of the Plan.

          12.10.  Effective Date.  The Plan, which has been
established and approved by the Committee, shall be effective
upon its adoption and ratification by the Board.  To the extent
required for compliance with Section 422 of the Code or SEC Rule
16b-3, the Plan is subject to and conditioned upon the approval
of the Plan by the Company's shareholders.

          THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement"), dated as of the Date of Grant specified above, is
entered into by and between Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the Optionee specified
above, pursuant to the Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. 1995 Key
Employee Stock Option Plan, as in effect and as amended from time
to time (the "Plan"); and

          WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it
would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the non-
qualified stock option and other rights provided for herein to
the Optionee (i) as an inducement to commence employment with, or
to remain in the employment of, the Company (and/or one of its
Subsidiaries), and (ii) as an incentive for increased effort
during such service;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and premises hereinafter set forth and for other good
and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually
covenant and agree as follows:

     1.   Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. 
This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and
provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any
amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time if
such amendments are expressly intended to apply to the grant of
the Stock Option hereunder), all of which terms and provisions
are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they
were each expressly set forth herein.  Any capitalized term not
defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is
ascribed thereto under the Plan.  The Optionee hereby
acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the
Optionee has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its
content.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this<PAGE>
Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall
control.  

     2.   Grant of Stock Options.  The Company hereby grants to
the Optionee, as of the Date of Grant specified above, a non-
qualified stock option (this "Stock Option") to acquire from the
Company, at the Exercise Price per share specified above, the
aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock specified above
(the "Option Shares").  This Stock Option is not to be treated as
(and is not intended to qualify as) an incentive stock option
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

     3.   Exercise of the Stock Option.  

          3.1. Exercisability.  Unless otherwise provided in
Section 3.4 below or determined by the Committee, this Option
shall become exercisable in accordance with and to the extent
provided by the terms and provisions of Section 6.7 of the Plan.

          3.2. Expiration Date.  Unless earlier terminated in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and/or this
Agreement, this Option shall expire and shall no longer be
exercisable after the Expiration Date specified above.

          3.3. No Fractional Shares.  In no event shall this
Stock Option be exercisable for a fractional share of Common
Stock.

          3.4. Acceleration of Exercisability.  Notwithstanding
any contrary provision herein, the vesting and exercisability of
the Award shall be accelerated: (a) in accordance with Sections 9
and 10 of the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a
Change of Control of the Company; and (b) upon the termination of
the Optionee's employment with the Company under that certain
Employment Agreement dated as of January 24, 1995, Without Cause
(as defined in said Employment Agreement).

     4.  Method of Exercise and Payment.  The Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee by delivering to the Secretary of the
Company or his designated agent on any business day a written
notice of exercise, in such manner and form as may be required by
the Company, specifying the number of the Option Shares the
Optionee then desires to purchase, or with respect to which the
Optionee then desires to exercise his or her Limited Rights (the
"Exercise Notice").  In the case of an exercise of a Stock
Option, the Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment in
full in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Exercise Price
per share specified above, multiplied by (b) the number of Option
Shares specified in the Exercise Notice.  Such payment shall be
made in the manner set forth in Section 6.6 of the Plan.


                                    2<PAGE>
     5.   Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, this Option shall terminate and be of no force or
effect in accordance with and to the extent provided by the terms
and provisions of Section 7 of the Plan.  In any event, this
Option shall terminate on the Expiration Date.  

     6.   Non-transferability.  This Option, and any rights or
interests therein, shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred,
assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the
Optionee (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Optionee), other than by
testamentary disposition by the Optionee or the laws of intestate
succession.  This Option shall not be pledged, encumbered or
otherwise hypothecated in any way at any time by the Optionee (or
any beneficiary(ies) of the Optionee) and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar legal process.  Any attempt to
sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise
dispose of or hypothecate this Option, or the levy of any
execution, attachment or similar legal process upon this Option,
contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be
null and void and without legal force or effect.  This Option
shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the
Optionee.

     7.  Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement contains
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior
agreements or prior understandings, whether written or oral,
between the parties relating to such subject matter.  The Board
or the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
modify or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance
with and as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment shall materially adversely affect the
rights of the Optionee under this Option without the consent of
the Optionee.  The Company shall give written notice to the
Optionee of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement
as soon as practicable after the adoption thereof.  This
Agreement may also be modified or amended by a writing signed by
both the Company and the Optionee.

     8.  Miscellaneous.

                Date of Grant:

          THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this
"Agreement"), dated as of the Date of Grant specified above, is
entered into by and between Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the Optionee specified
above, pursuant to the Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc. 1995 Key
Employee Stock Option Plan, as in effect and as amended from time
to time (the "Plan"); and

          WHEREAS, it has been determined under the Plan that it
would be in the best interests of the Company to grant the non-
qualified stock option and other rights provided for herein to
the Optionee (i) as an inducement to commence employment with, or
to remain in the employment of, the Company (and/or one of its
Subsidiaries), and (ii) as an incentive for increased effort
during such service;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and premises hereinafter set forth and for other good
and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby mutually
covenant and agree as follows:

     1.   Incorporation By Reference; Plan Document Receipt. 
This Agreement is subject in all respects to the terms and
provisions of the Plan (including, without limitation, any
amendments thereto adopted at any time and from time to time if
such amendments are expressly intended to apply to the grant of
the Stock Option hereunder), all of which terms and provisions
are made a part of and incorporated in this Agreement as if they
were each expressly set forth herein.  Any capitalized term not
defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning as is
ascribed thereto under the Plan.  The Optionee hereby
acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the
Optionee has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its
content.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
<PAGE>
Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall
control.  

     2.   Grant of Stock Options.  The Company hereby grants to
the Optionee, as of the Date of Grant specified above, a non-
qualified stock option (this "Stock Option") to acquire from the
Company, at the Exercise Price per share specified above, the
aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock specified above
(the "Option Shares").  This Stock Option is not to be treated as
(and is not intended to qualify as) an incentive stock option
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

     3.   Exercise of the Stock Option.  

          3.1. Exercisability.  Unless otherwise provided in
Section 3.4 below or determined by the Committee, this Option
shall become exercisable in accordance with and to the extent
provided by the terms and provisions of Section 6.7 of the Plan.

          3.2. Expiration Date.  Unless earlier terminated in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan and/or this
Agreement, this Option shall expire and shall no longer be
exercisable after the Expiration Date specified above.

          3.3. No Fractional Shares.  In no event shall this
Stock Option be exercisable for a fractional share of Common
Stock.

          3.4. Acceleration of Exercisability.  Notwithstanding
any contrary provision herein, the vesting and exercisability of
the Option shall be accelerated, in accordance with Sections 9
and 10 of the Plan, upon the occurrence of a Merger Event or a
Change of Control of the Company. 

     4.  Method of Exercise and Payment.  The Option shall be
exercised by the Optionee by delivering to the Secretary of the
Company or his designated agent on any business day a written
notice of exercise, in such manner and form as may be required by
the Company, specifying the number of the Option Shares the
Optionee then desires to purchase, or with respect to which the
Optionee then desires to exercise his or her Limited Rights (the
"Exercise Notice").  In the case of an exercise of a Stock
Option, the Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment in
full in an amount equal to the product of (a) the Exercise Price
per share specified above, multiplied by (b) the number of Option
Shares specified in the Exercise Notice.  Such payment shall be
made in the manner set forth in Section 6.6 of the Plan.

     5.   Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, this Option shall terminate and be of no force or
                                    2<PAGE>
effect in accordance with and to the extent provided by the terms
and provisions of Section 7 of the Plan.  In any event, this
Option shall terminate on the Expiration Date.  

     6.   Non-transferability.  This Option, and any rights or
interests therein, shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred,
assigned or otherwise disposed of in any way at any time by the
Optionee (or any beneficiary(ies) of the Optionee), other than by
testamentary disposition by the Optionee or the laws of intestate
succession.  This Option shall not be pledged, encumbered or
otherwise hypothecated in any way at any time by the Optionee (or
any beneficiary(ies) of the Optionee) and shall not be subject to
execution, attachment or similar legal process.  Any attempt to
sell, exchange, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise
dispose of or hypothecate this Option, or the levy of any
execution, attachment or similar legal process upon this Option,
contrary to the terms of this Agreement and/or the Plan shall be
null and void and without legal force or effect.  This Option
shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only by the
Optionee.

     7.  Entire Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement contains
the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior
agreements or prior understandings, whether written or oral,
between the parties relating to such subject matter.  The Board
or the Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
modify or amend this Agreement from time to time in accordance
with and as provided in the Plan; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment shall materially adversely affect the
rights of the Optionee under this Option without the consent of
the Optionee.  The Company shall give written notice to the
Optionee of any such modification or amendment of this Agreement
as soon as practicable after the adoption thereof.  This
Agreement may also be modified or amended by a writing signed by
both the Company and the Optionee.

The Board of Directors
Kash n' Karry Food Stores, Inc.:

We consent to the use of our report included herein and to the
reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the
prospectus.

Our report dated September 16, 1994, except with respect to Notes
1 and 5, which are as of November 9, 1994, contains an explanatory
paragraph that states that "the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. As
discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Kash n' Karry Food
Stores, Inc. filed a pre-packaged petition under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code on November 9, 1994 and these matters
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty."
