Part I
ITEM I. BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company operates a chain of 21 ShopRite supermarkets, 15 of which are
located in northern New Jersey, 1 of which is in north-eastern Pennsylvania and
5 of which are in the southern shore area of New Jersey.
In addition, the Company operates two former ShopRite stores under a
"Village Market" format as described below. The Company's membership in
Wakefern Food Corporation ("Wakefern"), the nation's largest retailer owned food
cooperative and owner of the ShopRite name, provides the Company many of the
economies of scale in purchasing, distribution and advertising associated with
chains of greater size and geographic reach.
The Company believes that the regional nature of its business and the
continuity of its management under the leadership of its founding family have
permitted the Company to operate with greater flexibility and responsiveness to
the demographic characteristics of the communities served by its stores.
The Company seeks to generate high sales volume by offering a wide variety
of high quality products at consistently low prices. The Company attempts to
efficiently utilize its selling space, gives continuing attention to the decor
and format of its stores and tailors each store's product mix to the preferences
of the local community. The Company concentrates on development of superstores,
which, in addition to their larger size (an average of 50,000 total square feet,
including office and storage space, compared with an average of 30,000 total
square feet for conventional supermarkets), feature such higher margin specialty
service departments as an on-site bakery, an expanded delicatessen, a fresh
seafood section and, in most cases, a prescription pharmacy. Superstores also
offer an expanded selection of higher margin non-food items such as cut flowers,
health and beauty aids, greeting cards, videocassette rentals and small
appliances. Two recent superstores also include a warehouse section featuring
products in giant sizes. The following table shows the percentage of the
Company's sales allocable to various product categories during each of the
periods indicated as well as the number of the Company's superstores and
percentage of selling square feet allocable to these stores during each of these
periods:
Product Categories Fiscal Year Ended In July
1993 1994 1995
Groceries 44.2% 44.0% 44.1%
Dairy and Frozen 15.8 15.7 15.6

Other .1 .3 .1
100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Number of superstores 19 18 19
Selling square feet
represented by superstores 82% 82% 88%
Because of its increased size and broader product mix, a superstore can
satisfy a greater percentage of a customer's weekly shopping needs and, as a
result, the typical superstore generally has a higher volume of sales per square
foot and sales per customer than a conventional supermarket. In addition,
because of their greater total sales volume and increased percentage of their
sales allocable to higher margin items, superstores generally operate more
profitably than conventional supermarkets.
A variety of factors affect the profitability of each of the Company's
stores including local competitors, size, access and parking, lease terms,
management supervision, and the strength of the ShopRite trademark in the local
community. The Company continually evaluates individual stores to decide
whether they should be closed. Accordingly, the Orange, Maplewood, Kingston,
Morristown and Easton stores have been closed since December 1991. In
addition, two stores were converted to a "Village Market" format designed to
reduce costs and increase margins in lower volume locations.
The Company operates a separate liquor store adjacent to one Company
supermarket.
DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION
The Company is engaged in a continuing program to upgrade and expand its
supermarket chain. This program has included major store remodelings as well as
the opening or acquisition of additional stores. When remodeling, the Company
has sought, whenever possible, to increase the amount of selling space in its
stores and, where feasible within existing site limitations, to convert
conventional supermarkets to superstores. The Company completed one major
expansion and remodel in fiscal 1995. The Company has budgeted $8,000,000 for
capital expenditures in fiscal 1996. The major planned expenditures are the
expansion and remodel of the Absecon store and the beginning of the expansion of
the Livingston store.
In the last five years, the Company has added one new store and completed
five remodels. The Company's goal has been to open an average of one new
superstore and conduct a major remodel of one store each year. However, because
of delays associated with increased governmental regulations, including sewage
moratoriums and environmental cleanup regulations effecting sites and the lack
of recent activity by real estate developers, the Company has been unable to
open the desired number of new stores. Additional store remodelings and sites
for new stores are in various stages of development. The Company will also
consider additional acquisitions should appropriate opportunities arise.
WAKEFERN
The Company is the second largest member of Wakefern (owning 16.8% of
Wakefern's outstanding stock) and two of the Company's principal shareholders
were founders of Wakefern. Wakefern, which was organized in 1946, is the
nation's largest retailer-owned food cooperative. There are presently 32
individual member companies and 183 supermarkets which comprise the Wakefern
cooperative. Only Wakefern and member companies are entitled to use the
ShopRite name and trademark, purchase their product requirements and
participate in ShopRite advertising and promotional programs and its
computerized purchasing, warehousing and distribution services.
The principal benefits to the Company from its relationship with Wakefern
are the use of the ShopRite name and trademark, volume purchasing, ShopRite
private label products, distribution and warehousing on a cooperative basis, and
ShopRite advertising and promotional programs. The Company believes that the
ShopRite name is widely recognized by its customers and is a factor in those
customers' decisions about where to shop. In addition, Wakefern can purchase
large quantities and varieties of products at favorable prices which it can then
pass on to its members. These benefits are important to the Company's success.
Wakefern distributes as a "patronage dividend" to each of its stockholders
a share of the earnings of Wakefern in proportion to the dollar volume of
business done by the stockholder with Wakefern during each fiscal year.
While Wakefern has a substantial professional staff, it operates as a
member cooperative. Executives of most members make contributions of time to
the business of Wakefern. Senior executives of the Company spend a significant
amount of their time working on various Wakefern committees which oversee and
direct Wakefern purchases and other programs.
Most of the Company's advertising is developed and placed by Wakefern's
professional advertising staff. Wakefern is responsible for all television,
radio and major newspaper advertisements. Wakefern bills its members by various
formulas which distribute advertising costs in accordance with the estimated
proportional benefits to each member from such advertising. The Company also
places Wakefern developed materials with local newspapers.
Wakefern operates warehouses and distribution facilities in Elizabeth, New
Jersey; Dayton, New Jersey; Wallkill, New York; and South Brunswick, New Jersey.
Each member is obligated to purchase from Wakefern a minimum of 85% of its
requirements for products offered by Wakefern until ten years from the date that
stockholders representing 75% of Wakefern sales notify Wakefern that those
stockholders request the Wakefern Stockholder Agreement be terminated. If this
purchase obligation is not met, the member is required to pay Wakefern's profit
contribution shortfall attributable to this failure. This agreement also makes
unapproved changes in control of the Company and sale of the Company or of
individual Company stores, except to a qualified successor, financially
prohibitive by requiring the Company in such cases to pay Wakefern the profit
contribution shortfall attributable to the sale of store or change in control.
Such payments were waived by Wakefern in connection with the sale of the Orange,
Maplewood, Kingston and Morristown stores. A "qualified successor" must be or
agree to become a member of Wakefern and may not own or operate any supermarkets
other than ShopRite supermarkets, in the states of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine or the District of Columbia or own or
operate more than 25 non-ShopRite supermarkets in any other locations in the
United States.
Wakefern, under circumstances specified in its bylaws, may refuse to sell
merchandise to, and may repurchase the Wakefern stock of, any member. Such
circumstances include certain unapproved transfers by a member of its
supermarket business or its capital stock in Wakefern, unapproved acquisition
by a member of certain supermarket or grocery wholesale supply businesses,
the material breach by a member of any provision of the bylaws of Wakefern or
any agreement with Wakefern or a determination by Wakefern that the continued
supplying of merchandise or services to such member would adversely affect
Wakefern.
Any material change in Wakefern's method of operation or a termination or
material modification of the Company's relationship with Wakefern following
expiration of the above agreements or otherwise (none of which are contemplated
or considered likely) might have an adverse impact on the conduct of the
Company's business and could involve additional expense for the Company. The
failure of any Wakefern member to fulfill its obligations under these agreements
or a member's insolvency or withdrawal from Wakefern could result in increased
costs to remaining members.
Wakefern owns and operates 22 supermarkets. The Company believes that
Wakefern may consider purchasing additional stores in the future from non-
members and from existing members who may desire to sell their stores for
financial, estate planning or other reasons. The Company also understands that
Wakefern may consider opening and operating new ShopRite supermarkets as well.
Wakefern does not prescribe geographical franchise areas to its members.
The specific locations at which the Company, other members of Wakefern or
Wakefern itself may open new units under the ShopRite name are, however,
subject to the approval of Wakefern's Site Development Committee. This
committee is composed of persons who are not employees or members of Wakefern
and from whose decision to deny a site application may be appealed to the
Wakefern Board of Directors. Wakefern assists its members in their site
selection by providing appropriate demographic data, volume projections and
projections of the impact of the proposed market on existing member supermarkets
in the area.
Each member's Wakefern stock (including the Company's) is pledged to
Wakefern to secure all of that member's obligations to Wakefern. Moreover,
every owner of 5% or more of the voting stock of a member (including five
members of the Sumas family) must personally guarantee prompt payment of all
amounts due Wakefern from that member. Wakefern does not own any securities
of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Each of Wakefern's members is required to make capital contributions to
Wakefern based on the number of stores operated by that member (and to a limited
extent the sales volume generated by those stores). As additional stores are
opened or acquired by a member (including the Company), additional capital must
be contributed by it to Wakefern. On occasion, as its business needs have
required, Wakefern has increased the per-store capital contributions required of
its members. Wakefern has in the past permitted these increases in required
capital to be paid in installments over a period of time. The Company is
required to invest approximately $820,000 over approximately the next three
years.
TECHNOLOGY
The Company considers automation and computerization important to its
operations and competitive position. All stores have scanning checkout systems
that improve pricing accuracy, enhance productivity and reduce checkout time for
customers. Over the last several years, the company installed IBM RS/6000
computers and satellite communications in each store. Using the RS/6000 system,
the Company offers customers debit and credit card payment options in all
stores. In addition, the Company is utilizing a computer generated ordering
system in twenty stores, which is designed to reduce inventory levels and out
of stock conditions, enhance shelf space utilization, and reduce labor costs.
The Company's commitment to advanced scanning systems has enabled it to
participate in Price Plus, ShopRite's preferred customer program. Customers
receive electronic discounts by presenting a scannable Price Plus card. In
addition, the Company began using Clip Less coupons in 1994. Customers need
only present their Price Plus card to receive the value of our in-ad coupons.
Also, target marketing programs using this technology are presently being
developed. The Company has converted our customers separate Price Plus and
check cashing cards to a single universal card. In addition to customer
convenience, the new card provides the Company with improved ability to limit
the acceptance of bad checks.
The Company utilizes a direct store delivery system, consisting of personal
computers and hand held scanners, for most items not purchased through Wakefern
in order to provide equivalent cost and retail price control over these
products. In addition, certain in-store department records are computerized,
including the records of all pharmacy departments. In certain stores, meat,
seafood and delicatessen prices are maintained on computer for automatic
weighing and pricing. Furthermore, all stores have computerized time and
attendance systems and most also have computerized energy management systems.
The Company seeks to design its stores to use energy efficiently, including
recycling waste heat generated by refrigeration equipment for heating and other
purposes.
COMPETITION
The supermarket business is highly competitive. Industry profit margins
are narrow, consequently earnings are dependent on high sales volume and
operating efficiency. The Company is in direct competition with national,
regional and local chains as well as independent supermarkets, warehouse clubs,
drug stores, discount department stores and convenience stores. The principal
methods of competition utilized by the Company are low pricing, courteous, quick
service to the customer, quality products and consistent availability of a wide
variety of merchandise including the ShopRite private label. The Company
believes its regional focus and the continuity of its management by the Sumas
family permit it to operate with greater flexibility in tailoring the products
offered in each store to the demographics of the communities they serve as
compared to national and larger regional chains. The Company's principal
competitors are Pathmark, A & P, Foodtown, King's, Grand Union and Acme. Many
of the Company's competitors have financial resources substantially greater
than those of the Company.
LABOR
As of October 6, 1995, the Company employed approximately 3,750 persons,
of whom approximately 2,400 worked part-time. Approximately 86% of the
Company's employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The
Company was affected by a labor dispute with its largest union in fiscal 1993
which was settled with a new four year contract. A contract with one union
expires in fiscal 1996. Most of the Company's competitors in New Jersey are
similarly unionized.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
While the Company must secure a variety of health and food distribution
permits for the conduct of its business, it does not believe that such
regulation is material to its operations. The Company's pharmacy departments
are subject to state regulation and licensed pharmacists must be on duty at
all times. The Company's liquor operation is also subject to regulation by
state and municipal administrative authorities. The Company does not
presently anticipate expanding its liquor operations. Compliance with
statutes regulating the discharge of materials into the environment is not
expected to have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings and
competitive position in fiscal 1996 and 1997.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company owns the sites of five of its supermarkets (containing
304,000 square feet of total space), all of which are free-standing stores,
except the Egg Harbor store, which is part of a shopping center. The Company
also owns the site of the former Easton and Maplewood stores. The Maplewood
property is under contract for sale to the current tenant and the Easton store
is currently being marketed. The remaining eighteen supermarkets (containing
800,000 square feet of total space) are leased, with initial lease terms
generally ranging from 20 to 30 years, usually with renewal options. Eleven
of these leased stores are located in strip shopping centers and the remaining
seven are free-standing stores. Except with respect to one lease between the
Company and certain related parties, none of the Company's leases expire
before 1997. The annual rent, including capitalized leases, for all of the
Company's leased facilities for the year ended July 29, 1995 was approximately
$5,700,000. The Company is a limited partner in two partnerships, each of
which owns a shopping center in which one of the Company's leased supermarkets
is located. The Company also is a general partner in a general partnership
that is a lessor of one of the Company's free-standing supermarkets.
