Exhibit 99.2

        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements (the "Pro Forma Financial Statements") as of March 3, 2002 are
derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Gristede's as
of and for the 52 weeks ended March 3, 2002 and the audited financial
statements and underlying accounting records of Kings as of and for the 52
weeks ended March 30, 2002. The Pro Forma Financial Statements give effect to
the Kings acquisition and the other related transactions, as if such
transactions had occurred on March 5, 2001 with respect to the pro forma
statement of operations, and as of March 3, 2002 with respect to the pro forma
balance sheet.

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the 52 week period ended December 2, 2001 is derived from the
audited consolidated financial statements of Gristede's for the 52 weeks ended
December 2, 2001 and the unaudited financial statements and underlying
accounting records of Kings for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2001. The pro
forma statement of operations gives effect to our acquisition of Kings and the
other related transactions, as if such transactions had occurred on December 3,
2000.

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the 13 weeks ended March 3, 2002 is derived from the unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements of Gristede's for the 13 weeks ended
March 3, 2002 and the unaudited interim financial statements of Kings for the
13 weeks ended March 30, 2002. The pro forma statement of operations gives
effect to our acquisition of Kings and the other related transactions, as if
such transactions had occurred on December 3, 2000.

   The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The Kings acquisition will
be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. As discussed in Note
1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, a
determination of the fair value of Kings' assets and liabilities has not been
completed. Under this method, tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values.
The excess of purchase price (which is subject to certain closing adjustments
as defined in the stock purchase agreement), including estimated fees and
expenses related to the Kings acquisition, over the net assets acquired
("goodwill") is classified with intangibles on the accompanying unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition to the purchase price
allocation, there may be post-closing adjustments to the purchase price as
defined in the stock purchase agreement, which amounts cannot be determined
presently and are not included herein. Kings entered into severance and
incentive compensation arrangements with various employees subsequent to
March 31, 2001. If certain conditions are met and Kings is sold, Kings
could be obligated to pay incentive, severance and change-in-control
payments under these agreements in the range of approximately $2 million to
$8 million, excluding related benefit costs.

       Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
                                 March 3, 2002
                             (dollars in millions)

(1) The determination of the fair values of Kings' assets and liabilities has
    not been completed. Upon completion of such valuation, we will allocate the
    purchase price to Kings' assets and liabilities, both tangible and
    intangible, with the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net
    assets acquired allocated to goodwill. Management expects that, based on
    such allocation, additional purchase accounting adjustments will be made to
    Kings' assets and liabilities.

(2)

    a. Reflects an increase from the issuance of (a) $20.0 million of Series A
       Convertible Preferred Stock to an affiliate of John A. Catsimatidis, the
       majority stockholder and Chairman and CEO of Gristede's, and (b) $10.0
       million cash infusion from a vendor support agreement, and (c) $175.0
       million of notes, net of estimated transaction costs of $7.0 million.
       These are partially offset by: (i) repayment of $28.0 million of
       indebtedness under Gristede's existing bank facility; (ii) the repayment
       of $15.0 million in loans from an affiliate of John A. Catsimatidis
       outstanding as of the date of this offering memorandum; and (iii) the
       write-off of the deferred financing costs of $0.5 million related to the
       retired debt.

    b. Reflects the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets to be
       acquired in connection with the Kings acquisition. The purchase price for
       Kings exceeds the net book value of assets to be acquired by $84 million,
       which excess has been allocated to goodwill.

    c. Reflects adjustments related to the Kings acquisition, including the
       elimination of historical retained earnings, cash and deferred tax
       assets of Kings.

    d. The pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Kings acquisition and
       this offering as if such transactions occurred on March 3, 2002. It also
       reflects the net increases and decreases in cash from (i) the gross
       proceeds received from the notes less the transaction costs, (ii) the
       repayment of affiliate debt, (iii) the cash received with the issuance
       of preferred stock, (iv) the cash received from the vendor support
       agreement, (v) amounts used to retire debt from Gristede's existing bank
       facility and (vi) purchase of common stock of Kings as set forth in the
       following table:

(3) Reflects a deferred tax asset of $9.4 million associated with the changes
    in the financial reporting basis of assets and certain liabilities due to
    the (i) realizability of Gristede's net operating losses due to the Kings
    acquisition and (ii) acquisition adjustments resulting from the Kings
    acquisition. Gristede's expects to make an IRS 338(h)(10) election to allow
    it to reflect the book and tax bases of the assets acquired at fair value.

(4) Reflects the elimination of the historical LIFO reserve of $7.8 million to
    reflect the write-up of inventory to fair value.
