                                  MAY 3, 2000


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company without audit. These statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of May 3, 2000, and the results of operations and cash flows for the thirteen
weeks then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes for the fiscal year ended
February 2, 2000, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by
the Company.

Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results for the
quarter ended May 3, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the
entire 2001 fiscal year.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

Inventories consist primarily of grocery items, which are stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
valuation method.

NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net earnings per common
share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
plus dilutive potential common shares, including options and warrants
outstanding during the period.  All comparative earnings per share data for
prior periods presented have been restated. The following table sets forth the
computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

On March 16, 2000, the Company closed the sale of its distribution facility and
repaid the remaining $2,458,237 outstanding on the facility's mortgage.  The
Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $287,850 on the early repayment of the
note relating to prepayment fees and the write-off of deferred financing costs.

NOTE F - LINE OF CREDIT AVAILABILITY

In addition to the cash shown on the balance sheet, the Company had

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Thirteen Weeks Ended May 3, 2000  (the "First Quarter of Fiscal 2001") compared
to Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 1999 (the "First Quarter of Fiscal 2000").

          Net sales for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2001 were approximately
$34.9 million, compared to approximately $33.7 million for the First Quarter of
Fiscal 2000.  The sales increase of $1.2 million or approximately 3.6%, was due
to comparable store sales increases of 3.9% partially offset by a decrease in
wholesale revenues.  Management believes that the increase in comparative store
sales is largely due to the Company's sales initiatives during the first quarter
and the annualization of the opening of two new Harry's In A Hurry stores, which
during fiscal 2000 diverted customers away from the mega stores.

          Gross profits in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2001 increased to
approximately $10.0 million or 28.6% of net sales, compared to approximately
$9.3 million or 27.7% of net sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000. The
increase in gross profit dollars was largely due to higher same store sales and
initiatives by management to increase the gross profit percentage.

          Direct store expenses decreased slightly as a percent of sales to
approximately $5.8 million or 16.7% of net sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal
2001 compared to approximately $5.8 million or 17.4% of net sales in the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2000.  Direct store expenses decreased due to lower workers'
compensation insurance, equipment & building rents, and utilities.  The lower
direct store expenses were partially offset by higher wages.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
approximately $3.3 million or 9.5% of net sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal
2001 compared to approximately $3.1 million or 9.3% of net sales in the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2000.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
due to higher wages, advertising expense, bank charges and travel expense
partially offset by decreases in bad debt expense, employee hiring costs, legal
expenses, general taxes and lease expenses.

          Depreciation and amortization, which includes depreciation and
amortization for the stores and the corporate facilities, but excludes the
manufacturing facilities (which are included in cost of goods sold) did not
change significantly from the same quarter last year.  The increase in
depreciation due to new assets added since the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 was
largely offset by certain assets becoming fully depreciated since the First
Quarter of Fiscal 2000.

     For the reasons set forth above, the Company had an operating loss of
approximately $(0.2) million or (0.6)% of net sales during the First Quarter of
Fiscal 2001 compared to an operating loss of approximately $(0.7) million or
(2.1)% of net sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000.

     Interest expense increased to approximately $1.0 million or 2.8% of net
sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2001, compared to approximately $0.5
million or 1.5% of net sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000.  This increase
was primarily attributable to a higher average interest rate.

     Other income decreased to approximately $0.3 million or 0.9% of net sales
during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2001, from approximately $1.0 million or 3.0%
of net sales in the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000. The decrease was primarily due
to the Company receiving approximately $500,000 in fiscal 2000 from the sale of
certain property rights related to the use of a billboard on one of the
Company's properties.

     For the First Quarters of Fiscal 2001 and 2000, the Company did not record
an income tax benefit due to uncertainty of the benefits being recognized. The
Company has unrecognized net operating loss carry forwards for financial
purposes of approximately $24.0 million that may be applied against future
earnings.

     On March 16, 2000, the Company closed the sale of its distribution facility
and repaid the remaining $2,458,237 outstanding on the facility's mortgage.  The
Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million on the early repayment of
the note relating to prepayment fees and the write-off of deferred financing
costs.

     As a result of the above, the Company had a net loss applicable to common
shareholders for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2001 of approximately $(1.2)
million or $(0.19) per common share - basic and diluted, compared to a loss
applicable to common shareholders of approximately $(0.2) million or $(0.04) per
common share - basic and diluted, during the First Quarter of Fiscal 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash requirements are based upon its seasonal working capital
needs and capital requirements for capitalized additions and improvements and
expansions.

     As of May 3, 2000, the Company had current assets of approximately $10.8
million and current liabilities of approximately $8.9 million, resulting in a
net working capital position of $1.9 million.  The Company had available
approximately $2.2 million as of May 3, 2000 under its revolving credit
facility.

     Net cash used in operating activities for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2001
was approximately $0.4 million.  The use of cash for the First Quarter of Fiscal
2001 is mainly attributable to a decrease in the Company's trade accounts
payable of approximately $1.7 million.  EBITDA, which is defined as earnings
(excluding one time nonrecurring charges or income) before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, increased from approximately $1.0 million in the
First Quarter of Fiscal 2000 to approximately $1.3 million in First Quarter of
Fiscal 2001, which was an increase in EBITDA of approximately 30% over the same
quarter in the prior year.  Management believes that the improvement in EBITDA
is largely due to an improvement in the Company's operations.  Management
believes that EBITDA is a measurement commonly used by analysts and investors.
Accordingly, this information has been presented to permit a more complete
analysis; however, EBITDA as reported may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.  EBITDA should not be considered a substitute
for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

     Based on the terms of the Company's credit facility, management currently
believes principal and interest payments in fiscal 2001 will be approximately
$3.7 million.  In addition, the Company currently plans to spend approximately
$2.5 million on capital improvements.

                                      -9-

     Management believes that with the Company's working capital surplus and
availability under its line of credit and if the Company generates EBITDA in
fiscal 2001 roughly equal to or more than the approximately $6.0 million of
EBITDA it generated in fiscal 2000, then the Company should meet its cash
requirements for operations and projected capital expenditures through fiscal
2001.

     The Company's ability to fund its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements, make interest payments and meet its other cash requirements
depends, among other things, on the availability of internally generated funds
and the continued availability of and compliance with its credit facilities.
Management believes that internally generated funds and its available credit
facilities will provide the Company with sufficient sources of funds to satisfy
its anticipated cash requirements in fiscal 2001.  However, such forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could
cause actual results to differ materially from results expressed or implied by
such forward looking statements.  Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to: economic conditions, changes in consumer spending, weather,
competition, changes in the rate of inflation, potential sales by the Company of
certain out-parcels and other assets, the inability to develop new stores as
planned and other uncertainties that may occur from time to time.  In the event
of any significant reduction of internally generated funds, the Company may
require funds from outside financing sources.  In such event, there can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such funding as and when
required or on acceptable terms.
