Union First Market Bank and MARTIN’S Food Markets Announce

Additional In-Store Bank Branch Locations

Richmond, Va., February 8, 2011 – Union First Market Bank and MARTIN’S^® Food Markets today announced that Union First Market Bank will add in-store bank branches to seven MARTIN’S stores in Virginia. Union First Market Bank currently operates in-store bank branches in 22 MARTIN’S Food Markets.

“Being able to offer our customers a convenient place to bank is important,” said G. William Beale, chief executive officer of Union First Market Bankshares. “Our partnership with MARTIN’S began in March 2010 after they acquired the Ukrop’s Super Markets and we are pleased to expand our relationship with them. Union recently announced a branch acquisition in Harrisonburg and now we are adding seven new banking locations in the western part of Virginia to our network. By this summer, we expect to have nearly 100 branches throughout Virginia, more than any other Virginia-based bank and another milestone as we work towards building the next great Virginia bank.”

“MARTIN’S is excited to expand our partnership with Union First Market Bank outside of the Richmond marketplace,” said Rick Herring, president, GIANT/MARTIN’S. “We strive to provide our customers with a variety of solutions to meet their everyday shopping needs. An in-store bank branch gives our customers the added convenience of conducting their banking and grocery needs all under one roof.”

The two companies recently worked together to support the Central Virginia Food Bank’s “Share a Holiday Meal” program and expect to provide similar partnerships in the new service area. After the branches open, Union First Market Bank will operate branches in 29 MARTIN’S Food Market’s Virginia locations.

The in-store bank branches will be located at the following MARTIN’S locations and are expected to open in May:

Store Address
400 Gateway Drive	Winchester	VA	22603
437 Tiffany Drive	Waynesboro	VA	22980
