Not including gasoline sales, total sales increased 3.1%, and on a same-store basis, sales gained 2.4%.
In a statement, chairman/CEO David B. Dillon says that despite "the difficult operating environment," the company stayed focused on its "Customer 1st" strategy, "and as a result, the total number of families we serve continues to grow and our most loyal customers are buying more with us."
The Cincinnati-based company says it continues to expect identical supermarket sales, excluding fuel, to gain between 2% to 3% for the year.
