Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED

The audited consolidated balance sheets of Super Food Services, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of August 26, 1995 and August 27, 1994 and the related
audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended August 26, 1995, including the
independent public accountant's report thereon, dated October 19, 1995, as
contained in Super Food Services, Inc.'s Form 10-K Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended August 26, 1995, are incorporated by reference herein.

The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Super Food Services, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of May 4, 1996 and the related unaudited consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the period ending May 4, 1996, as
contained in Super Food Services, Inc.'s Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the
quarterly period ended May 4, 1996, are incorporated by reference herein.

(b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In November 1996, Nash Finch Company (the "Company") acquired substantially all
of the outstanding common stock, at $15.50 per share, of Super Food Services,
Inc. ("SFS").  The aggregate cash purchase price paid by the Company was $171
million.  The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

In January 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of 
Military Distributors of Virginia, Inc. ("MDV").  The aggregate purchase 
price paid by the Company consisted of $56.0 million in cash plus the 
assumption of liabilities totaling an additional $54.0 million.  The assets 
acquired included certain real property, leasehold interests in real property 
and equipment, fixed assets, inventory, receivables, supplies and contractual 
rights.  The terms of the acquisition were the result of arm's-length 
negotiations between the parties, and the acquisition was accounted for as a 
purchase.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are 
included herein as required by rules of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission ("SEC"). Such pro forma financial statements do not purport to be 
indicative of the results of future combined operations.  The pro forma 
combined financial statements are based upon the historical financial 
statements of the Company, MDV and SFS, and should be read in conjunction 
with those historical financial statements as they appear elsewhere in this 
filing or previous filings with the SEC, as applicable. The historical 
financial information for Nash Finch at December 31, 1995, is derived from 
audited financial statements. All other historical financial information 
presented in these pro forma financial statements is derived from unaudited 
historical financial statements.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deemed appropriate.  Final
purchase accounting adjustments will be made on the basis of appraisals and
evaluations and, therefore, may differ from the pro forma adjustments presented
herein.  However, management does not expect that the final allocation of the
purchase price will materially differ from the amounts presented herein.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet was prepared as if the
transactions were consummated as of October 5, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of income for the year ended December 30, 1995 and for the
nine months ended October 5, 1996 assume the acquisitions had been consummated
as of January 1, 1995, the beginning of the fiscal year presented.  The pro
forma statements of income and the balance sheet presented have been adjusted
for the effects of costs, expenses, assets and liabilities which might have been
incurred or assumed had the acquisitions been effected on the dates indicated.




The pro forma combination of the Company and MDV, and the Company (including
MDV) and SFS has been prepared under the purchase method of accounting.
Therefore, the purchase price for both acquisitions has been allocated based on
the estimated fair values of the identified assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.  The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying pro forma financial statements
and amortized over periods of 15 years and 25 years for MDV and SFS,
respectively.
