      Year of Record Sales, Plus Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 Results</font></b>
    </p>
    <p>
      ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 7, 2009--Ingles Markets,
      Incorporated (NASDAQ:&#160;IMKTA) today reported fiscal year 2009 sales of
      $3.25 billion, its 45<sup>th</sup> consecutive year of sales growth.
      Excluding gasoline, sales grew 4.3%. Fourth quarter sales totaled $830.1
      million. Excluding gasoline, sales grew 1.5% compared with the fourth
      quarter of the prior fiscal year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income totaled $5.2 million for the three months ended and $28.8
      million for the fiscal year ended September&#160;26,&#160;2009, compared with
      $10.5 million and $52.1 million for the comparable three month and
      fiscal year periods of 2008. The fiscal year 2009 results include $10.2
      million of prepayment penalties and loan cost write-offs related to the
      Company&#8217;s issuance of $575 million in bonds in May 2009 and the higher
      level of interest expense following the bond issuance.
    </p>
    <p>
      Commenting on the results, Robert P. Ingle, chief executive officer,
      said, &#8220;Our sales have continued to grow during this recession and we&#8217;ve
      taken care of our financing for future growth and increased
      profitability. These are important long-term goals for Ingles.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Fourth Quarter Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales totaled $830.1 million for the quarter ended September 26,
      2009, compared with $842.8&#160;million for the comparable quarter in fiscal
      2008. Total and comparable store sales comparisons are affected by
      retail gasoline prices, which were approximately 37% lower during the
      fourth fiscal quarter of 2009 compared with the prior year. Grocery
      segment comparable store sales, excluding gasoline sales, rose 2.4%
      compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The growth in
      comparable store sales benefited from a 9.9% increase in average weekly
      customer visits and more than offset a $1.51 decrease in the average
      purchase amount compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $184.8
      million, an increase of $4.4&#160;million compared with the fourth quarter of
      fiscal 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased to 22.3%
      for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with 21.4% for the fourth
      quarter of fiscal 2008. Grocery segment gross margins excluding gasoline
      were stable, while gross profit in the Company&#8217;s fluid dairy operations
      increased due to substantially lower milk prices for the fourth fiscal
      quarter of 2009 compared with the comparable 2008 quarter.

      Operating and administrative expenses for the September 2009 quarter
      totaled $161.1 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 4.8%, over the
      September 2008 quarter. As a percentage of sales,&#160;operating and
      administrative expenses were 19.4% for the three months ended
      September&#160;26,&#160;2009, compared with 18.3% for the three months ended
      September 27, 2008. In&#160;general, the Company&#8217;s increased store
      development activities have resulted in higher personnel, depreciation
      and occupancy costs compared with the prior year. Ingles operated 200
      stores at fiscal&#160;year-end 2009, compared with 197 stores at the end of
      fiscal year 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net rental income, other income and losses on asset disposals totaled
      $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $0.7
      million for the 2008 fourth fiscal quarter, primarily due to the lower
      rental income partially offset by fiscal 2008 losses that were related
      to shopping center and store assets taken out of service in conjunction
      with the Company&#8217;s store relocation, closing and remodeling activities.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense totaled $16.5 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of
      2009, compared with $12.1&#160;million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008.
      Total debt at September&#160;26, 2009, was $849.3&#160;million compared with
      $717.2 million at September 27, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s effective tax rate was 37.5% for the fourth quarter of
      fiscal 2009 compared with 31.1% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income for the September 2009 quarter totaled $5.2 million compared
      with net income of $10.5&#160;million for the September 2008 quarter. Basic
      and diluted earnings per share for the Company&#8217;s publicly traded Class A
      common stock were $0.23 and $0.22 per share, respectively, for the
      September 2009 quarter compared with $0.44 and $0.43 per share,
      respectively, for the September 2008 quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Annual Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales totaled a record $3.25 billion for the fiscal year ended
      September 2009, an increase of $12.9 million, or 0.4%, from $3.24
      billion for the fiscal year ended September 2008. Fiscal year 2009 was
      Ingles&#8217; 45<sup>th</sup> consecutive year of record sales.
      Excluding gasoline sales where the retail per gallon price was
      approximately 37% lower, grocery segment comparable store sales
      increased 5.4%. Excluding gasoline, the number of customer transactions
      increased 7.9% and the average transaction size decreased by 53 cents.
      The Company believes customers are eating at home more often and are
      changing purchasing habits towards private label and lower priced
      products.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit for the fiscal year ended September 26, 2009, increased
      $36.7 million, or 5.2%, to $743.1 million, or 22.9% of sales, compared
      with $706.3 million, or 21.8% of sales, for the fiscal year ended
      September 27, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      The increase in grocery segment gross profit dollars was primarily due
      to the higher sales volume. Grocery segment gross profit as a percentage
      of total sales (excluding gasoline) was 25.3% for fiscal year 2009
      compared with 25.5% for the comparable fiscal 2008 period. The Company
      has responded to the current competitive environment by keeping prices
      as low as possible in order to grow sales and market share.

      Operating expenses increased $47.5 million comparing fiscal year 2009 to
      fiscal year 2008, and were 19.5% of sales for fiscal year 2009 compared
      with 18.1% of sales for fiscal year 2008. Excluding gasoline sales and
      associated gasoline operating expenses (primarily payroll), operating
      expenses were 21.7% of sales for fiscal year 2009 period compared with
      20.9% for fiscal year 2008. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2008, the
      Company has completed 22 new, remodeled or relocated stores. Current
      unfavorable economic conditions have extended the time needed for new
      and redeveloped stores to reach targeted levels of sales and
      profitability to cover additional personnel, utility and depreciation
      costs that are incurred in full from the opening of a new/redeveloped
      store.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net rental income, gains/losses on asset disposals and other income
      totaled $4.9 million for fiscal year 2009, compared with $5.1 million
      for fiscal year 2008. Lower rental income in fiscal year 2009 was
      partially offset by fiscal year 2008 losses are related to shopping
      center and store assets taken out of service in conjunction with the
      Company&#8217;s store relocation, closing and remodeling activities.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense totaled $59.1 million for the year ended September 26,
      2009, compared with $46.9&#160;million for the year ended September 27, 2008.
      The increased interest expense for fiscal year 2009 is primarily
      attributable to increased total debt with a higher average interest rate
      and less interest capitalized as a component of store construction cost.
    </p>
    <p>
      During fiscal year 2009, the Company incurred $10.2 million of debt
      extinguishment costs. In May&#160;2009, the Company issued $575.0 million
      aggregate principal amount of senior notes due in 2017 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;).
      Note proceeds were used to pay off $350 million aggregate principal
      amount of senior subordinated debt maturing in 2011, pay off $45.3
      million of indebtedness outstanding under the Company&#8217;s committed lines
      of credit, and pay off $77.7&#160;million of secured indebtedness. In
      conjunction with these payoffs, the Company incurred call premiums and
      prepayment penalties totaling $6.8 million and wrote off $3.4 million of
      unamortized capitalized loan issuance costs associated with the paid off
      debt.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s effective tax rate was 37.6% for fiscal year 2009 compared
      with 34.6% for fiscal year 2008 due to a higher provision for deferred
      taxes.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income for fiscal year 2009 totaled $28.8 million compared with net
      income of $52.1&#160;million for fiscal year 2008. Basic and diluted earnings
      per share for the Company&#8217;s publicly traded Class A common stock were
      $1.23 and $1.18 per share, respectively, for the year ended
      September&#160;26,&#160;2009, compared with $2.22 and $2.13 per share,
      respectively, for the year ended September 27, 2008.
    </p>
    <p>
      Capital expenditures totaled $141.0 million and $248.8 million for
      fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. During fiscal 2009, Ingles
      opened four new stores, closed one older store and completed six
      replacement or remodeled stores. Retail square footage increased to
      10.7&#160;million square feet at September 26, 2009, compared with 10.2
      million square feet at September 27, 2008. Current economic conditions
      have resulted in the Company reducing the number of planned projects
      that will be started during the upcoming fiscal year. For fiscal year
      2010, the Company plans to open 10 new, replacement or remodeled stores
      and add three fuel stations either at existing stores or in conjunction
      with its new, replacement and remodeled stores. Total fiscal year 2010
      capital expenditures are estimated at between $120 million and $150
      million.

      In conjunction with the new senior note issuance in May 2009, the
      Company entered into a new three-year $175.0 million syndicated line of
      credit facility to replace certain existing facilities. Line of credit
      facilities total $190.0 million of which there are no amounts
      outstanding at September&#160;26,&#160;2009. As a result of the new senior note
      issuance and repayment of other debt, the Company extended the average
      maturity of its debt, decreased its letter of credit outstanding to
      $8.2&#160;million and increased the amount of unencumbered real property and
      equipment. The Company also had $77.0 million cash on hand at September
      26, 2009.
