    </p>
    <p>
      ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2009--Ingles Markets,
      Incorporated (NASDAQ:&#160;IMKTA) (&#8220;Ingles&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announced today
      the preliminary results in connection with its previously announced
      tender offer and&#160;consent solicitation (the &#8220;Offer&#8221;) for its 8 7/8%
      Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;) (CUSIP&#160;No.&#160;457030AC8).
      As of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on May 8, 2009, tenders and consents
      had been received from holders of $266.6 million in aggregate principal
      amount, representing approximately 76.2%, of the outstanding Notes.
    </p>
    <p>
      Accordingly, the requisite consents of a majority to adopt the proposed
      amendments to the indenture governing the Notes have been received, and
      a supplemental indenture to effect the proposed amendments described in
      the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 28,
      2009 (the &#8220;Offer to Purchase&#8221;) has been executed. The amendments
      provided for in the supplemental indenture will become operative on the
      date that validly tendered Notes are purchased by Ingles pursuant to the
      Offer on the initial payment date. As the Company has executed the
      supplemental indenture, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn and
      consents delivered may no longer be revoked, except in the limited
      circumstances described in the Offer to Purchase.
    </p>
    <p>
      Holders still have until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 11, 2009

      consideration which includes the $20 per $1,000 consent payment. The
      Offer remains open and is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York
      City time, on May 26, 2009, unless extended or earlier terminated (the

      or waiver by the Company of a number of conditions, as described in the
      Offer to Purchase.
    </p>
