EXHIBIT 23.2


                         Consent Of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
Richfood Holdings, Inc.:


We consent to incorporation  by reference in the  registration  statements (Nos.
33-41210,  33-41570,  33-43652,  33- 55299,  33-63447,  333-1251,  333-1253  and
333-16411) on Form S-8 of Richfood  Holdings,  Inc. of our report dated June 10,
1996, relating to the consolidated balance sheet of Richfood Holdings,  Inc. and
subsidiaries  as of April 27, 1996, and the related  consolidated  statements of
earnings,  shareholders' equity, cash flows and financial statement schedule for
the fiscal  years  ended  April 27,  1996 and April 29,  1995,  which  report is
included  in the May 3, 1997 annual  report on Form 10-K of  Richfood  Holdings,
Inc. The consolidated  financial statements give effect to the merger on October
15, 1995 of a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Richfood Holdings,  Inc. with and into
Super  Rite  Corporation,  which has been  accounted  for using the  pooling  of
interests  method  as  described  in  note  2  to  the  consolidated   financial
statements.  We did not audit the fiscal 1995 consolidated  financial statements
and financial  statement schedule of Super Rite Corporation,  which consolidated
financial statements reflect sales constituting approximately 49% of the related
consolidated  financial  statement  totals for  fiscal  1995.  The  fiscal  1995
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of Super Rite
Corporation  were audited by other  auditors,  whose  reports  thereon have been
furnished to us, and our opinion,  insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Super Rite Corporation, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
