      Markets, Incorporated Board Authorizes One Million Share Repurchase
      Program</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2010--Ingles Markets,
      Incorporated (NASDAQ:&#160;IMKTA) announced today that its Board of Directors
      authorized the repurchase of up to one million shares of its Class A and
      Class B Common Stock. Ingles Markets had approximately 12.9 million
      Class&#160;A shares outstanding and 11.6 million Class B shares outstanding
      as of January 25, 2010.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;The stock repurchase authorization highlights our confidence in Ingles&#8217;
      business and our outlook for continued growth,&#8221; stated Robert P. Ingle,
      chief executive officer. &#8220;We believe the stock repurchase program is a
      solid investment for our shareholders and provides us with the
      opportunity to leverage our strong financial position to improve our
      earnings per share.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      The share repurchase program may be carried out through open market
      purchases, block trades, purchases from the Company&#8217;s investment/profit
      sharing plan and in negotiated private transactions. No shares will be
      repurchased from directors or officers of the Company, or any of their
      respective affiliates, except for the investment/profit sharing plan, as
      part of this repurchase program. The timing and actual number of shares
      repurchased will depend on a&#160;variety of factors including the stock
      price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market
      and&#160;economic conditions. The stock repurchase program may be suspended
      or discontinued at&#160;any&#160;time. The Company plans to use existing cash,
      cash flow from operations and other financing sources to fund the
      repurchase program.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s Class A shares are traded publicly on the NASDAQ Stock
      Market&#8217;s Global Select Market under the symbol IMKTA. Class B shares are
      not publicly traded and are held primarily by insiders and the Company&#8217;s
      investment/profit sharing plan. The Class B shares are valued on a
      one-to-one basis with the Company&#8217;s publicly-traded Class A shares.
    </p>
    <p>
      This press release contains certain forward-looking statements. Ingles
      undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to any
      forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or
      circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the
      occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Ingles&#8217;
      actual results may differ materially from those projected in
      forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, Ingles. Factors
      that may affect results include changes in business and economic
      conditions generally or in Ingles&#8217; operating area, pricing pressures,
      increased competitive efforts by others in Ingles&#8217; marketing areas and
      the availability of financing for capital improvements. A more detailed
      discussion of these factors may be found in reports filed by the Company
      with the Securities and Exchange&#160;Commission including its 2009 Form 10-K
      and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December&#160;26,&#160;2009.
