Summarized Financial Information:

     The following consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated
balance sheets, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are
unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and the

normally provided in annual financial statements; they should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
appearing in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.

                      Notes to Summarized Financial Information

Note A. Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the periods. Shares issuable under
outstanding stock options were not included in the per-share
computations since inclusion would not result in any significant
dilution or would be anti-dilutive.

Note B. Meat, produce and pharmacy inventories are valued at the lower of
cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.  All
other merchandise inventories (including store inventories which are
determined by the retail inventory method) are valued at the lower
of cost using, the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market.

Note C. Effective August 29, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" (Statement 109).   As permitted by Statement 109,
prior year financial statements have not been restated to reflect
the change in accounting method.  The cumulative effect as of August
27, 1994 of adopting Statement 109 decreased net income by $256,000
or $.11 per share.

           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                            and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales for the first fiscal quarter of 1995 were $136,988,000 or 3.4% higher
than the same quarter of 1994. This net increase was attributable to increased
drugstore and supermarket sales resulting from two more drugstores in operation
as of the end of the quarter as compared to the same quarter of the prior year
along with some decreased supermarket price competition in our market area.
Sales from stores in operation both this past quarter as well as the same 
quarter a year ago increased 3.27% in the current year.

Gross margins, as a percent of sales, increased .49% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 1994. Gross margins have
rebounded this year after a period of reduced margins resulting from promotions
associated with the expansion of drugstores into new markets and planned
promotional activity in the supermarket area in early 1994.

As a percent of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
.58% in the first quarter. This decrease is a result of sales increasing at a
rate greater than such costs.

Interest expense remained consistent with the prior year. Higher interest rates
were offset by lower outstanding borrowings.

Other income - net increased $708,000 over the same quarter in 1994.  This
increase is due primarily to a gain of $637,000 recognized on the sale of the
company's dairy operations during the current quarter, offset somewhat by losses
on sales of assets.

Income taxes as a percent of pre-tax income approximates the statutory tax rates
in effect. The company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" in the first quarter
of fiscal 1994.  The cumulative effect of this standard decreased income for the
thirteen weeks ended November 26, 1994 by $256,000 or $.11 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first thirteen weeks of fiscal 1995, the Company's working capital
increased $2,673,000 as compared to August 27, 1994.  The working capital ratio
was 1.20 to 1 at the end of this quarter compared to 1.16 to 1 at August 27, 
1994 and 1.26 to 1 at November 27, 1993.  During the first thirteen weeks of 
fiscal 1995,  the Company generated $728,000 in cash from operations which, 
along with the cash proceeds from the sale of the Company's dairy operations, 
was used primarily to finance capital expenditures and to repurchase some of 
the Company's common shares.


The funds required by the Company on a continuing basis for both working 
capital, capital expenditures, and other needs are generated principally 
through operations, long-term borrowings and capital leases, supplemented by 
borrowings under revolving credit note agreements which have been arranged 
primarily through institutional lenders.  During the first quarter of 1995 
the company borrowed against revolving credit agreements with the maximum 
amount outstanding under such agreements amounting to $35,050,000.
