            which accompanies this statement, is being solicited on
            behalf of the Company.</b> Subject to the conditions
            hereinafter set forth, the shares represented by each
            proxy executed in the accompanying form of proxy will
            be voted at the meeting, or any adjournments or

            be first sent to shareholders on or about March 5,
            2004.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A proxy executed in
            the form enclosed may be revoked by the person signing
            the same at any time before the authority thereby
            granted is exercised. The revocation may be exercised
            at any time before the annual meeting by indicating the
            revocation in writing. This revocation should be
            directed to the Judge of Elections, Weis Markets, Inc.,
            1000 South Second Street, Sunbury, Pennsylvania 17801.
            The proxy may also be revoked by voting in person at
            the annual meeting or by voting a later dated
            proxy.</p><br clear="left">

            <p><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company will

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses related to
            the solicitation of the proxies for the meeting and the
            handling and tabulation of proxies received, estimated
            at $24,000 in total, will be paid by the Company. If
            proxies are not promptly received, officers, directors
            and regular employees of the Company may solicit
            proxies personally by telephone or otherwise, for which
            they will not receive additional compensation. The
            Company may reimburse charges of banks, brokers, other
            custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxy
            material to the beneficial owners and to secure their
            voting instructions, if necessary. It is estimated that
            such costs will be nominal.</p><br clear="left">

            shares of stock owned by the shareholder for as many
            persons as there are directors to be elected, or may
            cumulate such votes and give to one or distribute among
            two or more nominees as many votes as shall equal the
            number of directors to be elected multiplied by the
            number of the shareholder's shares of
            stock.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Directors are elected
            by a plurality vote of all votes cast at the meeting.
            Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as
            present for purposes of determining a quorum, but will
            not affect the election of directors or other matters
            submitted to the vote of
                shareholders.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of

            <p>Companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange

            corporate governance, as codified in Section 303A of
            the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, with some
            exceptions. A company of which more than 50% of the
            voting power is held by an individual, a group or
            another company need not comply with the requirements
            of Sections 303A.01 Independent Directors, 303A.04
            Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee or 303A.05
            Compensation Committee. Robert F. Weis, Chairman of the
            Board, and Ellen W. Wasserman, his sister, control
            57.9% of the voting power. The Company does not have a
            majority of independent Directors. Based upon the stock
            ownership of the principal shareholders, the Company
            determined it would be better served by having the full
            Board review nominating and corporate governance issues

            401(h) of Regulation S-K, and all members of said

            <p align="center"><b>REPORT OF THE AUDIT
            COMMITTEE</b></p>

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee
            oversees the Company's financial reporting process on
            behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the
            primary responsibility for the financial statements and
            the reporting process including the systems of internal
            controls. Management represented to the Audit Committee
            that the Company's consolidated financial statements
            were prepared in conformity with accounting principles
            generally accepted in the United States and the
            Security and Exchange Commission disclosure
            requirements. In fulfilling its oversight
            responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the
            audited financial statements in the Annual Report with
            management including a discussion of the quality, not
            just the acceptability, of the accounting principles,
            the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the
            clarity of disclosures in the financial
            statements.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee
            reviewed with the independent auditors, who are
            responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity
            of those audited financial statements with accounting
            principles generally accepted in the United States,
            their judgments as to the quality, not just the
            acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles
            and such other matters as are required to be discussed
            with the Committee under generally accepted auditing
            standards. In addition, the Audit Committee has
            discussed with the independent auditors, their
            independence from management and the Company including
            the matters in the written disclosures required by the
            Independence Standards Board and also considered the
            compatibility of nonaudit services with the auditors'
            independence.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee
            discussed with the Company's internal and independent
            auditors the overall scope and plans for their
            respective audits. The Audit Committee meets with the
            internal and independent auditors, with and without
            management present, to discuss the results of their
            examinations, their evaluations of the Company's
            internal controls and the overall quality of the
            Company's financial reporting.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In reliance on the
            reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit
            Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and
            the Board has approved) that the audited financial
            statements be included in the Annual Report on Form
            10-K for the year ended December 27, 2003 for filing
            with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
            Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, the
            appointment of Ernst &amp; Young LLP as the Company's
            independent public accountants for fiscal 2004, subject
            to shareholder ratification.</p><br clear="left">

            <p><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Appreciation
            Rights.</i> The Company maintains a Stock Appreciation
            Rights program for certain of its officers and other
            key executives. Under this program, participants are
            granted rights equivalent to shares of Company stock.
            The rights expire in one year, at which time the value
            of any appreciation from the original date of issue is
            paid in cash to the participant. No stock is
            distributed to the participant and there are no plan
            provisions for reload or tax-reimbursement
            features.</p><br clear="left">

            <p><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Options.</i>
            The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan. Under
            the terms of the plan, options are granted for shares
            of the Company's common stock based on the market value
            at the date of grant and may be exercised immediately.
            There are no plan provisions for reload or
            tax-reimbursement features. There were no stock options
            or stock appreciation rights granted to the named
            executives in the fiscal year ended December 27,
            2003.<font size="2"><br clear="left"></font></p>

            <p align="center"><b>BOARD COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
            REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION</b></p>

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation
            Committee of the Board of Directors believes that the
            primary objective of the Company's executive
            compensation policies should be to attract and retain
            qualified executives, which is critical to the ongoing
            success of the Company. The executive compensation
            program is based upon factors that are subjective in
            nature and are in the best interests of the Company and
            ultimately the shareholders. The Committee's primary
            objective is achieved by providing appropriate
            compensation and incentives that are competitive with
            executives at selected peer companies of comparable
            size and position in the retail business, while keeping
            compensation in line with the financial objectives of
            the Company. The Compensation Committee recognizes the
            fact that the Company is engaged in a highly
            competitive industry and thus annually examines market
            compensation levels and trends in the labor
            market.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation
            Committee revised the Company's compensation program in
            2001 based upon the recommendations from a consulting
            firm specializing in executive compensation, and
            implemented an annual bonus plan to reward certain key
            employees, including its executive officers. Bonus
            potentials are established by level within the Company,
            and actual payouts are based on achievement of sales
            and operating profit targets.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on subjective
            and qualitative considerations, which include the
            overall financial and operational success of the
            Company, the Committee approved the continuation of the
            Chairman's and the President/CEO's base salary in
            fiscal 2003. Bonus amounts paid in 2003, as reflected
            in the "Summary Compensation Table," were earned in
            2002. The Chairman and the President/CEO earned 49.3%
            of their total bonus potential in 2002 and have earned
            35.0% in 2003, which will be paid in
                2004.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With the Chairman of
            the Board and President/CEO, the Committee subjectively
            evaluates the performance of senior management. The
            Compensation Committee relies upon written and verbal
            evaluations, provided by the Chairman of the Board and
            President/CEO, of each executive's performance for the
            most recent fiscal year. In addition, senior management
            is orally evaluated by the President/CEO as to their
            efforts and accomplishments throughout the period from
            information deemed relevant both internally and in
            light of the competitive position of the Company in the
            industry. These evaluations include qualitative factors
            such as the individuals' decision-making
            responsibilities, the professional experience required
            to perform given tasks, and their leadership and
            team-building skills. Although executive base
            compensation is not specifically related to corporate
            performance, the overall performance of the Company is
            a consideration in determining executive compensation.
            The Chairman of the Board and President/CEO reported
            that the executives substantially met their objectives
            during the most recent fiscal year.</p><br clear=

            <p><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employment and
            Severance Agreements.</i> The Compensation Committee
            notes that the President/CEO has an employment
            agreement through 2006 and the Senior Vice President
            and Treasurer/CFO has an employment agreement with the
            Company through 2007. These agreements specify the
            terms of employment, including pay factors. The
            agreements provide that employment shall be at will,
            but if employment is terminated without cause, or the
            executive resigns for good reason, the executive shall
            receive his remaining salary and all benefits payable
            under the agreement. The agreements include a covenant
            not to compete clause, which is limited by time and
            geography.</p><br clear="left">

            for certain salaried employees, store management and

            Plan is to enhance employee opportunities for their

            contribution is allocated among the various plan
            participants in relationship to their compensation and
            years of service. Plan participants are 100% vested in

            Ownership Plan is to give eligible employees the pride
            of ownership in the Company. Eligible employees become
            participants at the beginning of the plan year
            following the two-year anniversary date of their
            employment, subject to break in service provisions. The
            Board of Directors annually determines the amount of
            contribution to the Plan at its sole discretion. The
            entire contribution is applied toward the purchase of
            the Company's stock and is distributed among
            participant accounts in relationship to their
            compensation. Every participant is fully vested. Vested

            Plan.</i> The Company maintains a Retirement Savings
            Plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
            Code. Employees become eligible to participate once
            they complete one year of eligibility service and
            attain the age of 21. On a quarterly basis, the Company
            contributes into the plan at the rate of 25% of the
            first 4% of an employee's elective deferral. Plan
            participants are 100% vested in their accounts after
            seven years of service with the Company and are

            payment of specific amounts of annual retirement
            benefits to certain officers or their beneficiaries
            over an actuarially computed normal life expectancy.
            The benefits are determined through actuarial
            calculations dependent on the age of the recipient. The
            benefit payable on an annual basis to Robert F. Weis
            would be $657,960 if he had retired as of the date of
            this Proxy.</p><br clear="left">

            <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company also
            maintains a second non-qualified supplemental
            retirement plan for certain of its associates. This
            plan is designed to provide retirement benefits and
            salary deferral opportunities because of the
            limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code and
            the Regulations implemented by the Internal Revenue
            Service. Participants in this plan are excluded from
            participation in the Profit Sharing and Employee Stock
            Bonus plans. The Board of Directors annually determines
            the amount of the allocation to the plan at its sole
            discretion. The allocation among the various plan
            participants is made in relationship to their
            compensation, years of service and job performance.
            Plan participants are 100% vested in their accounts
            after seven years of service with the Company. Benefits
            are distributed among participants upon reaching the
            applicable retirement age. Substantial risk of benefit
            forfeiture does exist for participants in this
            plan.</p><br clear="left">

            <p align="center"><b><font size="3">AUDIT COMMITTEE
            CHARTER</font></b></p>

            <p><b><font size="3">I. Purpose</font></b></p>

            <p>The primary objective of the Audit Committee is to
            assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight
            responsibilities with respect to (a)&nbsp;the financial
            statements and other financial information provided by
            the Company to its stockholders, the public and others,
            (b)&nbsp;the Company's compliance with legal and
            regulatory requirements, (c) the independent auditors'
            qualifications and independence and (d) the performance
            of the Company's internal audit function and
            independent auditors.</p>

            <p>Although the Audit Committee has the powers and
            responsibilities set forth in this Charter, the role of
            the Audit Committee is oversight. The members of the
            Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the
            Company and may or may not be accountants or auditors
            by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or
            auditing and, in any event, do not serve the Company in
            such capacity. Consequently, it is not the duty of the
            Audit Committee to conduct audits or to determine that
            the Company's financial statements and disclosures are
            complete and accurate and are in accordance with
            generally accepted accounting principles and applicable
            rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities
            of management and the independent auditors.</p>

            <p><b><font size="3">II. Organization</font></b></p>

            <p>The Audit Committee shall consist of three or more
            directors, each of whom shall satisfy the independence,
            financial literacy and experience requirements of
            Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act and the
            rules promulgated thereunder, the New York Stock
            Exchange and any other regulatory requirements, and at
            least one of whom shall have been determined by the
            Board to be an "audit committee financial expert" as
            defined under rules promulgated by the Securities and
            Exchange Commission.</p>

            <p>The members of the Audit Committee shall be
            appointed by the Board. The Audit Committee may form
            and delegate authority to subcommittees when
            appropriate.</p>

            <p><b><font size="3">III. Meetings</font></b></p>

            <p>The Audit Committee shall meet at least four times
            per year on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as
            circumstances require. As part of its job to foster
            open communication, the Audit Committee shall meet at
            least quarterly with management, the chief internal
            auditor and the independent auditors in separate
            executive sessions to discuss any matters that the
            Audit Committee or each of these groups believe should
            be discussed privately.</p>

            <p><b><font size="3">IV. Authority and
            Responsibilities</font></b></p>

            <p>In recognition of the fact that the independent
            auditors are ultimately accountable to the Audit
            Committee, the Audit Committee shall have the sole
            authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and,
            where appropriate, replace the independent auditors (or
            to nominate the independent auditors for stockholder
            approval), and shall approve all audit engagement fees
            and terms and all non-audit engagements with the
            independent auditors. The Audit Committee shall consult
            with management and the internal audit group but shall
            not delegate these responsibilities.</p>

            <p>To fulfill its responsibilities, the Audit Committee
            shall:</p>

            <p><b>With respect to the independent auditors:</b></p>
        </li>
    </ol>

    <ol>
        <li>Be directly responsible for the appointment,
        compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the
        independent auditors (including resolution of disagreements
        between management and the independent auditors regarding
        financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or
        issuing an audit report or related work or performing other
        audit, review or attest services for the company. The
        independent auditors must report directly to the Audit
        Committee.</li>

        <li>Have the sole authority to review in advance, and grant
        any appropriate pre-approvals, of (a) all auditing, review
        or attest services to be provided by the independent
        auditors and (b) all non-audit services to be provided by
        the independent auditors as permitted by Section 10A of the
        Securities Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
        thereunder, and, in connection therewith, to approve all
        fees and other terms of engagement. The Audit Committee
        shall also consider establishing pre-approval policies and
        procedures as well as review and approve disclosures
        required to be included in Securities and Exchange
        Commission periodic reports filed under Section 13(a) of
        the Securities Exchange Act with respect to non-audit
        services.</li>

        <li>Review on an annual basis the performance of the
        independent auditors, including the lead audit
        partner.</li>

        <li>Ensure that the independent auditors submit to the
        Audit Committee on an annual basis a written statement
        consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1,
        discuss with the independent auditors any disclosed
        relationships, compensation arrangements or services that
        may impact the objectivity and independence of the
        independent auditors and satisfy itself as to the
        independent auditors' independence.</li>

        <li>At least annually, obtain and review an annual report
        from the independent auditors describing (a) the
        independent auditors' internal quality control procedures
        and (b) any material issues raised by the most recent
        internal quality control review, or peer review, of the
        independent auditors, or by any inquiry or investigation by
        governmental or professional authorities, within the
        preceding five years, respecting one or more independent
        audits carried out by the independent auditors, and any
        steps taken to deal with any such issues.</li>

        <li>Confirm that (a) the lead audit partner and the audit
        partner responsible for reviewing the audit, has not
        performed audit services for the Company in each of the
        five previous fiscal years, and (b) each audit partner,
        other than the lead audit and concurring partners, has not
        performed audit services for the Company in each of the
        seven previous fiscal years. Consider whether, in order to
        assure continuing auditor independence, it is appropriate
        to adopt a policy of rotating the independent auditors on a
        regular basis.</li>

        <li>Review, at least once prior to the filing of the audit
        report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all
        reports required to be submitted by the independent
        auditors to the Audit Committee under Section 10A of the
        Securities Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
        thereunder, including (a) all critical accounting policies
        and practices used by the Company, (b) all alternative
        accounting treatments of financial information within GAAP
        related to material items that have been discussed with
        management of the Company, including the ramification of
        the use of such alternative treatments and disclosures and
        the treatment preferred by the independent auditors, and
        (c)&nbsp;other material written communications between the
        independent auditors and management of the Company,
        including management representation letters, reports on
        observations and recommendations on internal controls,
        schedules of material adjustments and reclassifications
        proposed, and a listing of adjustments and
        reclassifications not recorded, if any, engagement letters
        and independence letters.</li>

            Review, based upon the recommendation of the
            independent auditors and the chief internal auditor,
            the scope and plan of the work to be done by the
            independent auditors.

            statements:</b></p>
        </li>
