JP FOODSERVICE, INC. ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT FOR ACQUISITION OF ARROW PAPER SUPPLY
AND FOOD CO.

    COLUMBIA, Md., July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- JP Foodservice, Inc. ("JP") (Nasdaq:
JPFS) today announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to 
purchase Arrow Paper Supply and Food Co. ("Arrow"). Arrow, based in Norwich, 
Connecticut, is a broadline foodservice distributor serving the New
England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania markets, distributing over 6,000
products to a diverse customer base. Arrow achieved net sales of $74.6 million
in its fiscal year ended December 29, 1995, and has reported average revenue
growth in excess of 15% over the last three years. In November 1995, Arrow was
awarded a contract from the State of Connecticut that is expected to generate
$18 million of annual revenues.

   In discussing the proposed acquisition, Jim Miller, Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of JP Foodservice, said: "We are very enthusiastic
about the addition of Arrow into JP's existing distribution network. The
acquisition of Arrow increases JP's presence in the New England marketplace,
as well as positions the Company for further penetration into southern
Connecticut, Westchester County and New York City."

   JP's agreement with Arrow provides for the purchase of certain assets,
including Arrow's distribution facility, and assumption of certain liabilities
and consideration of $29.6 million, approximately $1.7 million of which is in
the form of JP stock with the remainder in cash. The proposed acquisition is
subject to a number of customary conditions and is expected to close before
the end of August. The acquisition will be treated as a purchase for
accounting purposes. JP management anticipates that the Arrow acquisition will
be accretive to JP's earnings per share.

    JP is a leading distributor of food and related products to restaurants and
other institutional foodservice establishments in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern
and Northeastern regions of the United States. JP has also recently announced
expansion into the Las Vegas, Nevada market with its pending acquisition of
Valley Industries, Inc. JP markets and distributes approximately 28,000
national, private label and signature brand items to over 23,000 foodservice
customers, including restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, cafeterias and
schools and employs over 2,500 foodservice professionals. JP's diverse customer
base encompasses both independent and chain businesses, including Perkins
Family Restaurants, Subway, Compass Group and Ruby Tuesday restaurants.

                      Report of Independent Accountants


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Arrow Paper and
Supply Co., Inc., and Affiliate as of December 29, 1995, and the related
combined statements of income and retained earnings and members' equity and
cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of Arrow Paper and
Supply Co., Inc., and Affiliate as of December 29, 1995, and the combined
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                  statements

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

                 BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The financial statements are presented
                 on a combined basis to include Arrow Paper and Supply Co.,
                 Inc. ("Arrow") and SGD Associates Limited Liability Company
                 ("SGD")(collectively referred to as the "Company"). All
                 significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
                 eliminated in combination.

                 In accordance with its articles of organization, the latest
                 date on which SGD is to dissolve is December 31, 2044.

                 NATURE OF BUSINESS - The Company is a full line food service
                 distributor of paper supplies and food products to retail,
                 institutional and chain customers throughout New England, New
                 York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Company generally does
                 not require collateral in providing credit.

                 The Company also warehouses and transports products for the
                 U.S. Department of Agriculture. Revenue for these services,
                 net of warehouse and delivery costs, are included in net
                 sales.

                 YEAR-END - Arrow has elected a 52-53 week accounting period.
                 Under this reporting period, the fiscal year ends on the
                 Friday closest to December 31. The fiscal year-end for 1995
                 was December 29, 1995, and for combined financial statement
                 purposes the Company has reported on this basis. SGD normally
                 has a December 31 year-end.

                 USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
                 conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
                 requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Those
                 estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
                 assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
                 and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and
                 expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                 CASH - The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts
                 which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The
                 Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  The
                 Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
                 risk on cash.
                 
                 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - All of the Company's financial
                 instruments are held for nontrading purposes.  The Company
                 estimates that the carrying amounts of its financial
                 instruments approximate their fair values at December 29,
                 1995. The carrying amounts of cash approximate fair value
                 because of the short maturity of those instruments. The
                 carrying amounts of loans receivable - related parties
                 approximate fair value because the Company estimates it would 
                 earn similar returns on those amounts. The carrying amounts of
                 notes payable and loans payable - related parties approximate
                 fair value because the Company estimates that it would borrow
                 these amounts on similar terms.

                 INVENTORY - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market.
                 Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method and is
                 recorded net of applicable purchase and payment discounts.

                 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are carried at
                 cost, including capitalized interest for property constructed
                 for the Company's own use. Major renewals and betterments are
                 charged to the property accounts, while replacements,
                 maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life
                 of the respective assets are expensed currently.

                 The Company follows the policy of providing for depreciation
                 and amortization of property and equipment by charging against
                 earnings amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of property
                 and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows:

<TABLE>
                      <S>                                     <C>        
                      Delivery vehicles                           5 years
                      Automobiles                                 5 years
                      Warehouse equipment                      5-10 years
                      Office equipment                         5-10 years
                      Buildings and improvements              10-40 years
</TABLE>

                 Depreciation and amortization expense are computed using
                 straight-line methods. Depreciation and amortization expense
                 for the year ended December 29, 1995 was $657,403

                 Land - Investment in land is carried at cost.

                 Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consisting of start-up
                 costs for new lines of business and financing costs are being
                 amortized on a straight-line basis over 18 to 36 months.

                 Profit-Sharing Plan - The Company maintains a multiemployer,
                 defined contribution employee savings 401(k) plan that covers
                 substantially all employees subject to minimum age and service
                 qualifications. The plan allows participants to defer a portion
                 of their compensation to the plan and the Company has agreed
                 to provide certain matching contributions, subject to certain
                 limitations. Employer contributions totaled $24,208 for 1995.

                 Lease Agreements - Annual rentals pertaining to real estate,
                 delivery vehicles and automobile leases which convey merely
                 the right to use property are charged to current operations.

                 Income Taxes - Income tax expense includes state taxes
                 currently payable and deferred taxes. The Company provides for
                 deferred taxes on temporary differences arising from assets
                 and liabilities whose bases are different for financial
                 reporting and income tax purposes. These differences relate
                 primarily to different depreciation methods used for financial
                 reporting and income tax purposes, inventory costs capitalized
                 for income tax purposes but expensed for financial reporting
                 purposes, and expenses reported in different periods for
                 financial reporting and income tax purposes.
                 
                 Arrow has elected, by consent of its stockholders, to be taxed
                 under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
                 Code. Under these provisions, Arrow does not pay federal
                 corporate income taxes on its taxable income.  Instead, the
                 stockholders are liable for individual federal income taxes on
                 their respective shares of Arrow's taxable income. Arrow will
                 continue to be taxed at the corporate level for state income
                 tax purposes in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

                 As a limited liability company, SGD is treated as a
                 partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Under
                 this treatment, SGD does not pay federal or state corporate
                 income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the members are
                 liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their
                 respective shares of SGD's taxable income. Thus, no income
                 taxes are provided for in the accompanying financial
                 statements for SGD.

                 Reclassifications - Certain classifications in the current
                 year's financial statements differ from the presentations made
                 in the financial statements of previous years.

         The bridge loan, equipment loan and revolving loan are subject to a
         commercial term and revolving loan agreement. The agreement contains
         various financial covenants related to liquidity, net worth and debt
         coverage. The covenants also contain restrictions on distributions,
         capital expenditures, borrowing and other items. In addition, certain
         borrowings are subject to termination fees. The notes are secured by
         substantially all assets of the Company. Borrowings under the
         revolving loan are subject to certain percentages of eligible accounts
         receivable and inventory. The maturity of the bridge loan is the
         earlier of December 20, 1996 or the closing and funding of certain
         financing arrangements of SGD for the construction of facilities for
         the Company.

         As of and for the year ended December 29, 1995, the Company did not
         meet certain covenants in the commercial term and revolving loan
         agreement noted above. These covenants were waived by the bank.

         The construction loan is subject to a construction loan agreement and
         secured by substantially all assets of the Company.  Borrowings under
         the agreement are subject to requisitions for the construction and
         equipping of certain warehouse and distributions facilities being
         constructed by the Company. The agreement contains various covenants
         and restrictions on construction and other items.  Borrowings are
         subject to termination fees and the Company is required to make a
