                            Notes to Financial Statements

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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the second fiscal quarter of 1995 were $4,549,000 or 3.26% 
higher than the same quarter of 1994. On a year to date basis, net sales 
were $9,037,000 or 3.32% higher than 1994.  Most of 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 2.43% in 
the current year.

Gross margins, as a percent of sales, increased .65% in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 compared to the same quarter in fiscal 1994. On a year to date 
basis, these margins increased .57% 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  
decreased .23% in the second quarter, and .40% on a year to date basis as 
compared to 1994.  This decrease 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  decreased $229,000 over the same quarter  in  1994.   
This decrease is due primarily to decreased gains on the sale of company 
assets during this quarter compared to 1994.  On a year-to-date basis there 
was an increase of $479,000 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 twenty-six weeks ended February 26, 1994 by $256,000 
or $.11 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 1995, the Company's working 
capital decreased  $1,434,000 as compared to August 27, 1994.  The working 
capital  ratio was 1.13 to 1 at the end of this quarter compared to 1.16 
to 1 at August 27, 1994 and  1.20 to 1 at November 26, 1994.  During 
the first twenty-six weeks of fiscal 1995,  the Company generated $9,815,000 
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.  During the second quarter 
of 1995 the company borrowed against revolving credit agreements with the 
maximum amount outstanding under such agreements amounting to $30,950,000.
