CHRISTOPHER KENNY APPOINTED PRESIDENT OF KENNY FAMILY SHOPRITES OF DELAWARE

Wilmington, DE (June 22, 2012) – Delaware Supermarkets, Inc. (DSI) announced today that Christopher L. Kenny, chief operating officer, will assume the role of president and chief executive of the company, effective immediately. Former president and DSI founder Bernard F. Kenny, Jr. will remain chairman of the board as his son transitions into his new role. Christopher L. Kenny is also a member of the DSI Board of Directors.

Since founding DSI in 1995, Bernard Kenny has built a strong foundation of customer service and unwavering commitment to the Delaware communities served by his five ShopRite stores.

Bernard is confident in choosing his son Christopher as his successor. “We started this business with just two stores in 1995. Since that time, Chris has worked very closely with me and with DSI management to increase sales three times over, open an additional three stores in the great state of Delaware and has developed the leadership skills necessary to fill this new role. I have every confidence in his ability to continue to lead our family business into an increasingly successful future.”

“I am very proud to take up the reins so skillfully held by my mentor, teacher and father, Bernard Kenny,” said Christopher L. Kenny. “He has created a legacy for our family, our stores and our community that I am so honored to be a part of. I look forward to his continue guidance and support as we move toward this new phase of our family’s history.”

Delaware Supermarkets, Inc. is a member of Wakefern Food Corp., the nation’s largest retailer-owned cooperative whose 47 members own and operate their own supermarkets under the ShopRite banner. Three generations of the Kenny family are actively engaged in their five stores’ day-to-day operations, living and working in the communities they serve.
