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 dates indicated.  Since the unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, they do not contain all
disclosures 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.

Note A. Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
        shares outstanding during the periods.

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 the
        adoption date was a reduction in net income of $256,000 or $.11 per
        share.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the third fiscal quarter of 1995 were $139,160,000 or 2.2% 
higher than the same quarter of 1994. On a year to date basis, net sales 
were $420,101,000 or 2.9% higher than 1994.  Most of this net increase was
attributable to increased drugstore and supermarket sales resulting, in part,
from one more drugstore 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 the Company's market area.  Sales from stores in 
operation both this past quarter as well as the same quarter a year ago 
increased 1.18% in the current year.

Gross margins, as a percent of sales, decreased .31% in the third quarter of
fiscal 1995 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 1994.  This decrease 
resulted from increased product costs which, given that the Company records 
a substantial portion of its inventory on the LIFO cost method, results in 
a direct reduction of gross margin.  The LIFO charge increased for the Third 
Quarter, 1995 ($234,000 versus $18,000 for Third Quarter, 1994).

On a year to date basis, these margins increased .28% between 1995 and 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 increased
 .12% in the third quarter, and decreased .22% on a year to date basis as 
compared to 1994.  The increases from the corresponding quarter in 1994 is 
due to higher wages, supplies and other costs.  The decrease from the prior 
year to date period is a result of sales increasing at a rate greater than 
such costs.

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

Other income - net, increased by $454,000 on a year-to-date basis due 
primarily to a gain recognized on the sale of the company's dairy operations 
during the first quarter of fiscal 1995, offset somewhat by losses on sales 
of other 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 thirty-nine weeks ended May 28, 1994 by $256,000 or $.11 
per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1995, the Company's working 
capital decreased $3,464,000 as compared to August 27, 1994.  The working 
capital ratio was 1.09 to 1 at the end of this quarter compared to 1.16 to 
1 at August 27, 1994 and 1.13 to 1 at February 25, 1995.  During the first 
thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1995,  the Company generated $16,848,000 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, repurchase some of the Company's common shares and reduce 
borrowings.


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.  The Company is not aware 
of any trends, demands, committments or uncertainties which will result or 
which are reasonably likely to result in a material change in the Company's 
liquidity.  During the third quarter of 1995 the company borrowed against 
revolving credit agreements with the maximum amount outstanding under such 
agreements amounting to $24,025,000.
