Re:   Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. Application for Withdrawal on Form RW
      pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of
      Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8
      ------------------------------------------------------(File No. 333-96551)



Ladies and Gentlemen:

On July 16, 2002, Foodarama Supermarkets, Inc. a New Jersey corporation (the
"Company"), filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on
Form S-8 (File No. 333-96551) (together with exhibits, the "Post-Effective
Amendment") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
The Post-Effective Amendment, filed for the purpose of amending Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 33-65328), relates to 65,000 additional
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share ("Additional
Shares"), which were made available for issuance under the Foodarama
Supermarkets, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company
hereby applies for the withdrawal of the Post-Effective Amendment and requests
that the Commission consent thereto, consistent with the public interest and
protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of said Rule 477. This
application is made because, upon inquiry, the Commission has advised that the
Company may register the Additional Shares only by filing a new registration
statement, and not by post-effective amendment. No options have been granted
under the Plan with regard to the Additional Shares. A new registration
statement is being filed contemporaneously herewith for the purpose of
registering the Additional Shares.






If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact John A
Aiello, of the law firm of Giordano, Halleran & Ciesla, P.C., at (732) 741-3900.

Sincerely,

FOODARAMA SUPERMARKETS, INC.
