INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Employee Benefit Plan Committee
Service Merchandise Company, Inc.
Nashville, Tennessee

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for Plan benefits of the Service Merchandise Company, Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits for the
years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan'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 audit
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 net assets available for Plan
benefits of the Service Merchandise Company, Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the changes in
its net assets available for Plan benefits for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules of (1) assets held for investment purposes and (2)
reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements
but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules, which are the responsibility of the Plan's management, have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              PLAN YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE 1:  Description of Plan

     The Service Merchandise Company, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan
     (the "Plan") is a qualified defined contribution plan, under Section
     401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering eligible
     associates of Service Merchandise Company, Inc. (the "Company").
     The Plan was created on July 1, 1983 and amended and restated February
     6, 1991, effective January 1, 1989. The Plan is subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA"), as amended.

     The following brief description of the Plan is intended to give a
     general summary of its principal provisions.  Participants should
     refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

     Eligibility

     All associates are eligible upon completing one year of qualified
     service, as defined in the Plan agreement, and reaching a minimum age
     of 21.

     Contributions

     Associates may contribute through salary deferral from 1% to 15%
     of their annual salary.  The Plan provides for a matching contribution
     to be made by the Company based on the ratio of "net profit," as defined,
     to net sales of the Company for the fiscal year corresponding with the
     previous Plan year.  "Net profit" is defined as the Company's net profit
     1) excluding any additional interest and expenses attributable to the
     Company's 1989 recapitalization and 2) excluding the provision for income
     taxes and any extraordinary items.

         Net Profit as Percentage of Company            
         Sales for Fiscal Year Corresponding     Employer Match
               with Previous Plan Year             Percentage
         -----------------------------------     --------------
                          0%                           0%
           Greater than 0% but less than 1%           10%
             1% or more but less than 2%              20%
             2% or more but less than 3%              30%
             3% or more but less than 4%              40%
                      4% or more                      50%

     The Company's maximum matching contribution is limited to the
     first 6% of a participant's compensation, as defined in the Plan.  In
     accordance with the aforementioned calculation, the Company's matching
     contribution was at the 50% level for the 1994 and 1993 Plan years and
     will be at the 30% level for the 1995 Plan year.

Vesting

     Participants are immediately 100% vested in all associate and

     allocated based on the participant's pro-rata share of each investment
     fund.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of employment prior to retirement, all participant
balances $3,500 or less are distributed in a lump-sum amount.
Balances above $3,500 may, at the participant's option, be distributed
in a lump-sum or held until retirement.  As of December 31, 1994 and
1993, net assets available for benefits included benefits of
$1,293,467 and $2,745,576, respectively, due to participants who have
withdrawn from participation in the Plan and have not received their
benefit distribution.

Upon becoming permanently and totally disabled or upon retirement, the
participant has the option of receiving his or her balance as a lump-
sum, in installments, or as a combination.

Distributions upon the death of a participant are in a lump-sum
amount.

Tax Effect on Participants

Participants' contributions, subject to certain regulatory maximums,
are in tax deferred dollars.  Company matching contributions and
investment earnings allocated to participants' accounts are not
taxable to the participant until the amounts are distributed from the
Plan.

NOTE 2:  Summary of Accounting Policies

     Method of Accounting
     
     The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis
     of accounting.
     
     Investments
     
     Investments are valued based on quoted market prices as of the
     last business day of the Plan year.

     Net Depreciation on Investments
     
     Net depreciation on investments includes both realized and
     unrealized depreciation.  The net depreciation for the Plan year
     ended December 31, 1994 was $13,755,377 as compared to $8,009,618
     for the year ended December 31, 1993.  In addition to the overall
     stock market decline, this variance is primarily related to the
     net depreciation in the Service Merchandise Company, Inc. Common
     Stock Fund as the market price decreased to $4.75 at December 31,
     1994 from $10.00 at December 31, 1993.

NOTE 3:  Share or Unit Values

     Units of each investment fund are allocated daily based on
     changes in market valuation and participant contributions;
     Company contributions are allocated quarterly.  The market value,

                   SERVICE MERCHANDISE COMPANY, INC.
                      SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              PLAN YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE 5:  Loans to Participants

     Participants may borrow from their account subject to certain
     restrictions and limitations.  Outstanding loans cannot exceed
     50% of the participant's account balance and are subject to a
     maximum of $50,000 and a minimum of $1,000. The Plan requires the
     trustee to establish an interest rate on the date of loan
     origination which is comparable to the interest rate charged by
     lending institutions for loans made under similiar circumstances.
     Currently, loans bear interest at 1% over the prime rate in
     effect. Loan repayment periods generally range from one to five
     years. At December 31, 1994, 1,956 participants had loans
     outstanding from the Plan.
     
NOTE 6:  Administration of the Plan

     The Plan is administered by the Employee Benefit Plan Committee
     appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.  T. Rowe Price of
     Baltimore, Maryland serves as trustee and investment manager.
     Currently, trustee fees are paid directly by the Company.

NOTE 7:  Plan Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
     has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at
     any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
     ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, Plan assets will be
     distributed, if permissible, or transferred for the benefit of
     participants in relation to their vested account balances.
     
NOTE 8:  Tax Status

     The Plan has received a determination letter indicating it is
     qualified under Section 401(a) and meets the additional
     requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The
     Plan is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of
     the Internal Revenue Code.
     
     In March of 1995, the Plan applied for a determination letter
     with regard to the Plan Amendment and Restatement and anticipates
     a favorable ruling on its application.
