                                    PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS.

     (a)  GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.

     Nash Finch Company, a Delaware corporation organized in 1921 as the 
successor to a business founded in 1885, has its principal executive offices 
at 7600 France Avenue South, Edina, Minnesota 55435.  Its telephone number is 
(612) 832-0534.  Unless the context otherwise indicates, the term "Company," 
as used in this Report, means Nash Finch Company and its consolidated 
subsidiaries.

     The Company is one of the largest food wholesalers in the United States, 
serving approximately 1,400 affiliated and other independent retail 
supermarkets, other retail stores and outlets, and institutional accounts, 
such as military base commissaries, restaurants, schools and hospitals, as of 
December 30, 1995.  No one customer accounts for a significant portion of the 
Company's sales.  The Company also operates and supplies, as of December 30, 
1995, 113 Company-owned supermarkets and warehouse stores.  The Company's 
affiliated and Company-owned stores operate under a number of tradenames, 
including ECONOFOODS-Registered Trademark-, FOOD BONANZA-Registered 
Trademark-, SUN MART-TM-, FAMILY THRIFT CENTER-TM-, EASTER FOODS-TM-, FOOD 
FOLKS-Registered Trademark-, JACK & JILL-Registered Trademark-, 
ECONOMART-TM-, OUR FAMILY FOODS-Registered Trademark-, FOOD PRIDE-Registered 
Trademark- and SAX FOOD & DRUG-Registered Trademark-. The Company's market 
areas are in approximately 30 states in the Midwest, West, Mid-Atlantic and 
Southeast and are serviced through 16 wholesale distribution centers and one 
general merchandise warehouse.  The Company packages, ships and markets fresh 
produce from California and the countries of Chile and Mexico to a variety of 
buyers across the United States, Canada and overseas. 

     During 1995, the Company converted a closed full-line distribution 
center into a specialized warehouse which handles general merchandise and 
slow-moving items in support of other Midwest distribution centers.  
Operations from the closed facility were consolidated into those of four 
other distribution centers.

     In December, 1995, the Company sold its two convenience store 
subsidiaries which distributed food and non-food products to over 3,000 
convenience stores primarily in the southeastern United States.  The sale 
involved Thomas & Howard Company of Hickory, Inc. ("Thomas & Howard"), a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and T&H Service Merchandisers, Inc. 
("T&H"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomas & Howard.  Thomas & Howard 
operates a grocery distribution center in Newton, North Carolina; T&H 
operates a general merchandise warehouse in Hickory, North Carolina.

     In January, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the business 
and assets of Military Distributors of Virginia, Inc. ("MDV"), a Virginia 
corporation based in Norfolk, Virginia.  MDV engages in the business of 
distributing groceries and related products to military commissaries in the 
eastern United States and Europe.  The MDV operation is being consolidated 
with the Company's existing military distribution operations in Baltimore, 
Maryland, and Chesapeake, Virginia, into a single military division which will
have two operating centers - one in Norfolk and the other in Baltimore.

     (b)  FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS.

     Financial information about the Company's business segments for the most 
recent three fiscal years is contained on pages 24 and 25 of the 1995 Annual 
Report (Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements).  For segment financial 
reporting purposes, a portion of the operational profits of wholesale 
distribution centers are allocated to retail operations to the extent that 
merchandise is purchased by these distribution centers and transferred to 
retail stores directly operated by the Company.  For fiscal 1995, 44% of such 
warehouse operational profits were allocated to retail operations. 

     (c)  NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

     1.   PRODUCTS SUPPLIED.

     The Company distributes and sells a full line of food products, 
including dry groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen foods, fresh and 
processed meat products and dairy products, and a variety of non-food 
products, including health and beauty aids, tobacco products, paper products, 
cleaning supplies and small household items.  The Company primarily 
distributes and sells nationally advertised brand products and a number of 
unbranded products (principally meats and produce) purchased directly from 
various manufacturers, processors and suppliers or through manufacturers' 
representatives and brokers.  Many of the major suppliers of the Company are 
large companies.  The Company has no significant long-term purchase 
obligations and believes that adequate and alternative sources of supply are 
generally available to meet the Company's needs.

     The Company also distributes and sells private label products using the 
Company's own trademarks.  A wide variety of grocery, dairy, package meat, 
frozen foods, health and beauty care products, paper and household products, 
beverages, and other packaged products are manufactured or processed by 
others for the Company and sold under Company brand names.  

     2.   DISTRIBUTION.

     The Company distributes products to Company-owned supermarkets and 
warehouse stores and to independent customers and military base commissaries 
from 16 distribution centers, as of December 30, 1995, located in Minnesota 
(1), Iowa (1), Kansas (1), Nebraska (2), Colorado (1), North Dakota (2), 
South Dakota (1), Wisconsin (1), North Carolina (2), Virginia (2), Maryland 
(1) and Georgia (1).  The Company's distribution centers are located at 
strategic points to efficiently serve Company-owned stores, independent 
customers, and military base commissaries.  The distribution centers are 
equipped with modern materials handling equipment for receiving, storing and 
shipping goods and merchandise and are designed for high-volume operations at 
low unit costs.  The Company also distributes health and beauty aids, general 
merchandise and specialty grocery products from a warehouse facility located 
in South Dakota, and produce from a separate warehouse facility in North 
Carolina.  

     The distribution centers serve as central sources of supply for 
Company-owned and independent stores, military base commissaries and other 
institutional customers within their operating areas.  The distribution 
centers maintain complete inventories containing virtually 

                                       2
<PAGE>

every national brand grocery product sold in supermarkets, together with a 
wide variety of high-volume private label items.  In addition, the 
distribution centers provide full lines of perishables, including fresh meats 
and poultry, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy and delicatessen products and 
frozen foods.  Retailers order their inventory requirements at regular 
intervals through direct linkage with Company computers.  Deliveries are made 
primarily by the Company's transportation fleet. The frequency of deliveries 
varies, depending upon customer needs.  The Company currently has a modern 
fleet of approximately 350 tractors, 610 semi-trailers, and 160 small trucks 
and vans, most of which are owned by the Company.  In addition, many types of 
meats, dairy products, bakery and other products are sold by the Company but 
are delivered by the suppliers directly to retail food stores. 

     Virtually all of the Company's wholesale sales to independent customers 
are made on a cost-plus-fee basis, with the fee based on the type of 
commodity and quantity purchased.  Selling prices are changed promptly, based 
on the latest cost information.

     The Company distributes products to military base commissaries primarily 
under contractual arrangements with the manufacturers of those products.  The 
Company provides storage, handling and transportation services for the 
manufacturers; and, as products ordered from the Company by the commissaries 
are delivered to them, the Company invoices the manufacturer for the cost of 
the merchandise delivered plus negotiated fees.

     3.   WHOLESALE OPERATIONS.

     As of December 30, 1995, the Company distributed food products and 
non-food items, on a wholesale basis, to approximately 1,400 affiliated and 
other independent retail supermarkets, other retail stores and outlets, and 
institutional accounts, such as military base commissaries, restaurants, 
schools and hospitals.  The Company's retail supermarket customers are 
primarily self-service supermarkets that carry a wide variety of grocery 
products, health and beauty aids and general merchandise.  Many stores also 
have one or more specialty departments such as delicatessens, in-store 
bakeries, restaurants, pharmacies and flower shops.  The stores served by the 
Company's wholesale operations range in size from small stores to large 
supermarkets containing approximately 100,000 square feet. 

     The Company offers to its affiliated independent retailers a broad range 
of services, including promotion, advertising and merchandising programs, the 
installation of computerized ordering, receiving and scanning systems, the 
establishment and supervision of computerized retail accounting, budgeting 
and payroll systems, personnel management assistance and employee training, 
consumer and market research, store development services and insurance 
programs.  The Company's retail counselors and other Company personnel advise 
and counsel the affiliated independents, and directly provide many of the 
above services. Separate charges are made for some of these services.  Other 
independent stores are charged for services on a negotiated basis.  The 
Company also provides retailers with marketing and store upgrade services, 
many of which have been developed in connection with Company-owned stores.  
For example, the Company assists retailers in installing and operating 
delicatessens and other specialty food sections.  Rather than develop a 
single pattern for the services it provides, the 

                                       3

<PAGE>

Company has developed flexible programs to serve the needs of most of its 
affiliated independents, whether rural or urban, large or small.

     The Company's assistance to its affiliated independent stores in store 
development provides a means of continued growth for the Company through the 
development of new retail store locations and the enlargement or remodeling 
of existing retail stores.  The services provided include site selection, 
marketing studies, building design, store layout and equipment planning and 
procurement. The Company assists its retail customers in securing existing 
supermarkets that are for sale from time to time in market areas serviced by 
the Company and, occasionally, acquires existing stores for resale to 
customers.

     The Company also may provide financial assistance to independent 
retailers it services, generally in connection with new store development and 
the upgrading or expansion of existing stores.  The Company makes secured 
loans to some of its affiliated independent operators, generally repayable 
over a period of five or seven years, for inventories, store fixtures and 
equipment, working capital and store improvements.   Loans are secured by 
liens on inventory or equipment or both, by personal guarantees and by other 
types of security.  As of December 30, 1995, the Company had outstanding 
$7,373,000 in such secured loans to 27 independent operators.  In addition, 
the Company may provide such assistance to independent retailers by 
guarantying loans from financial institutions and leases entered into 
directly with lessors.  The Company also uses its credit strength to lease 
supermarket locations and sublease them to independent operators, at rates 
that are at least as high as the rent paid by the Company.

     4.   RETAIL OPERATIONS.

     As of December 30, 1995, the Company owned and operated 113 retail 
outlets, including 75 supermarkets, 34 warehouse stores and 4 combination 
general merchandise/food stores.  The Company has devoted considerable 
resources in recent years to acquire, construct, enlarge and modernize 
Company-owned stores; and, by constructing new stores or expanding existing 
stores, seeks to add either larger conventional supermarkets (at least 30,000 
square feet) or warehouse stores (at least 45,000 square feet), as 
appropriate.  The Company has implemented a number of automated systems, 
including scanning and direct store delivery for its stores.  These systems 
provide inventory control at delivery and checkout points, reducing shrinkage 
and increasing labor efficiency. 

     The Company operates its 75 supermarkets principally under the names SUN 
MART-TM-, EASTER FOODS-TM- and FOOD FOLKS-Registered Trademark-.  These 
stores, 14 of which the Company owns (the remainder are leased), range in 
size up to approximately 46,000 square feet.  These stores are primarily 
self-service supermarkets that carry a wide variety of grocery products, 
health and beauty aids, and general merchandise.  Many stores also have one 
or more specialty departments such as delicatessens, in-store bakeries, 
restaurants, pharmacies and flower shops. 

     The Company operates 34 warehouse stores principally under the names 
ECONOFOODS-Registered Trademark- and FOOD BONANZA-Registered Trademark-.  
These stores, 10 of which the Company owns (the remainder are leased), range 
in size up to approximately 106,000 square feet.  The Company's warehouse 
stores offer a 

                                      4

<PAGE>

wide variety of high quality groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy 
products, frozen foods, fresh fish, fresh and processed meat and health and 
beauty aids, all at lower prices.  Many have specialty departments such as 
delicatessens, in-store bakeries, pharmacies, banks and floral and video 
departments.  These stores appeal to quality and price-conscious customers 
who want national brands, broad selection, and availability of convenience 
foods, but are willing, in some cases, to forgo standard supermarket 
services.  The stores are able to offer lower prices due to increased 
business volume as well as the limited services available. 

     The Company also operates four combination general merchandise/food 
stores under the name FAMILY THRIFT CENTER-TM-.  These stores, all of which 
are owned, range in size up to approximately 60,000 square feet.  In addition 
to traditional supermarket food departments, these stores have expanded 
general merchandise and health and beauty aid departments and pharmacies, and 
some also have sit-down restaurants, full-service floral departments and book 
departments.

     5.   PRODUCE MARKETING OPERATIONS.

     Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Nash-DeCamp Company, the Company 
grows, packs, ships and markets fresh fruits and vegetables from locations in 
California and the countries of Chile and Mexico to customers across the 
United States and Canada, and also overseas.  For regulatory reasons, the 
amount of business between Nash-DeCamp Company and the Company is limited.  
The Company owns and operates three modern packing, shipping and/or cold 
storage facilities that ship fresh grapes, citrus, plums, peaches, 
nectarines, apricots, pears, persimmons, kiwi fruit and other products.  The 
Company also acts as marketing agent for other packers of fresh produce in 
California and in the countries of Chile and Mexico.  For the above services, 
the Company receives, in addition to a selling commission, a fee for packing, 
handling and shipping produce.  The Company also owns vineyards and orchards 
for the production of table grapes, tree fruit, kiwi and citrus. 

     6.   COMPETITION.

     All segments of the Company's business are highly competitive.  The 
Company competes directly at the wholesale level with a number of wholesalers 
that supply independent retailers, including "cooperative" wholesalers that 
are owned by their retail customers and "voluntary" wholesalers who, like the 
Company, are not owned by their retail customers but sponsor a program under 
which single-unit or multi-unit independent retailers may affiliate under a 
common name. Certain of these competing wholesalers may also engage in 
distribution to military bases.  The Company also competes indirectly with 
the warehouse and distribution operations of the large integrated chains, 
which consist of single entities owning both wholesale and retail operations. 
At the wholesale level, the principal methods of competition are location of 
distribution centers, the services offered to independent retailers, such as 
store financing and use of store names, and the services offered to 
manufacturers of products sold to military base commissaries.  The success of 
the Company's wholesale business also depends upon the ability of its retail 
store customers to compete successfully with other retail food stores. 

                                       5

<PAGE>

     The Company competes on the retail level in a fragmented market with 
many organizations of various sizes, ranging from national chains and 
voluntary or cooperative groups to local chains and privately owned 
unaffiliated stores. Depending on the product and location involved, the 
principal methods of competition at the retail level include price, service, 
quality, display, selection and store location. 

     The Company competes directly in its produce marketing operations with a 
large number of other firms that pack, ship and market produce, and competes 
indirectly with larger, integrated firms that grow, pack, ship and market 
produce.  The principal methods of competition in this segment are service 
provided to growers and the ability to sell produce at the most favorable 
prices.

     7.   EMPLOYEES.

     As of December 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 11,500 
persons (approximately 5,400 full-time and 6,100 part-time). 

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES.

     The principal executive offices of the Company are located in Edina, 
Minnesota, and consist of approximately 68,000 square feet of office space.  
The locations and sizes of the Company's distribution centers, as of 
December 30, 1995, are listed below (all of which are owned, except as 
indicated).  The distribution center facilities which are leased have varying 
terms, all with remaining terms of less than 20 years.  Total rent in fiscal 
year 1996 for the leased facilities was $4,385,000.

ITEM 3    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     In November 1992, Jin Ku Kim, currently an employee of the Company, 
commenced an action against the Company in U.S. District Court for the 
Northern District of Iowa claiming damages as a result of the alleged failure 
of the Company to promote Mr. Kim to the position of shipping foreman in 
November 1990 and April 1992 because of his national origin and race, and the 
alleged retaliation against him by the Company in terms and conditions of 
employment after he filed charges of employment discrimination with the Cedar 
Rapids, Iowa, Civil Rights Commission.  On September 16, 1994 a jury verdict 
was entered against the Company in the amount of $8,786,000, including 
$36,000 in back pay, $1,750,000 in mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of 
life and $7,000,000 in punitive damages.  On April 13, 1995, the U.S. 
District Court entered an Amended Judgment reducing the jury award to a total 
of $421,000 plus attorneys' fees and costs of $114,556.  Both Mr. Kim and the 
Company have filed appeals from the Amended Judgment with the United States 
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Mr. Kim's appeal seeks reinstatement 
of the jury verdict and the Company's appeal seeks judgment as a matter of 
law or further reduction of the damage award; both parties seek a new trial 
in the alternative.  Briefs  have been submitted and the case was argued on 
December 14, 1995.  No decision has been issued.  The Company continues to 
deny that Mr. Kim has suffered any discrimination or retaliation, or any 
damages as a result thereof.  The Company believes that there is substantial 
basis, both in the facts of this case and in law, supporting the Company's 
position before the Eighth Circuit.  Although no assurance can be given that 
the Eighth Circuit will award the relief the Company seeks, the Company 
believes that 


                                      8

the jury verdict will not be reinstated and that the reserves it has 
established are reasonably adequate to cover its liability.

     On March 16, 1995 a group of nine separate entities engaged in growing 
citrus crops in Fresno County and Tulare County, California, commenced an 
action against Nash-DeCamp Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 
and others, including three of its officers and directors, in the United 
States District Court for the Eastern District of California.  Nash-DeCamp 
Company provided services to the plaintiffs relating to the packing, 
marketing and distribution of produce grown by the plaintiffs, and advanced 
financing to assist the plaintiffs in growing and harvesting their crops.  
The plaintiffs' complaint alleges that the defendants engaged in various acts 
of misconduct relating to the handling, packaging and pricing of such 
produce, and relating to financing extended to the plaintiffs, in violation 
of various federal and state laws, resulting in unspecified damages to the 
plaintiffs.  The plaintiffs' complaint sought unspecified compensatory 
damages, punitive damages, treble damages, rescission of the loan documents 
relating to the financing extended by Nash-DeCamp Company to the plaintiffs, 
injunctive relief preventing Nash-DeCamp from enforcing the loan documents, 
attorneys' fees and costs.  The defendants denied any liability under the 
plaintiffs' claims, and Nash-DeCamp Company counter-sued for judicial 
foreclosure of certain deeds of trust securing debts of the plaintiffs to 
Nash-DeCamp Company.  At December 30, 1995, while still in the pre-trial 
phase of this action, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement and 
Mutual Release of All Claims, pursuant to which the referenced action was 
dismissed with prejudice as to all claims.  The reserves established by Nash-
DeCamp Company at the end of the fiscal year 1995 were sufficient to cover 
the terms of the settlement, and no financial liability is expected to be 
incurred in 1996.

ITEM 4    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
