WEIS MARKETS 1st QUARTER EARNINGS INCREASE 82.4%

     (Sunbury, PA) - Weis Markets, Inc. (NYSE: WMK) today said its first quarter net income increased 82.4% to $16.5 million compared to the same period a year ago and that its basic and diluted earnings per share increased $.27 to $.61 per share.

     For the thirteen-week period ending March 28, 2009, the Company's sales increased 1.8% to $606.2 million and its comparable store sales increased 1.6%. The Company's sales were impacted by the late Easter holiday sales period, which occurred in the first quarter of 2008.

     "Our results reflect the continued improvement in our operating performance. We have done a better job at balancing the needs of our business and managing our expenses. These improvements are clearly apparent in our income from core operations, which increased 154.2% in the first quarter," said David J. Hepfinger, Weis Markets' President and CEO. "It is also important to note that we operate in a difficult sales environment. Our core markets are clearly affected by higher unemployment rates and a record low consumer confidence index, which has resulted in cautious overall spending by our customers."

     Founded in 1912, Weis Markets, Inc. is a Mid-Atlantic food retailer operating 154 stores in five states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia.
