      Markets, Incorporated Reports Results for Second Quarter and First Half
      of Fiscal 2012</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>

    </p>
    <p>
      ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2012--Ingles Markets,
      Incorporated (NASDAQ:&#160;IMKTA) today reported its results for the three
      and six months ended March 24, 2012. Second quarter net sales rose $11.3
      million to $881.7 million and net income totaled $6.5&#160;million, compared
      with net income of $7.7 million for the prior year&#8217;s second quarter. For
      the first six months of fiscal 2012, net sales rose $56.8 million to
      $1.80 billion and net income increased 11.3% to $17.1 million, compared
      with the first six months of fiscal 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Robert P. Ingle II, chief executive officer, stated, &#8220;We are pleased
      with our sales growth in the second quarter especially since last year&#8217;s
      second quarter included a lot of inclement weather that resulted in
      higher sales for the prior year. Our grocery margins were stable
      compared with last year; however, our profitability was affected by
      lower gasoline margins compared with last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We remain committed to providing value to our customers by investing in
      improvements to our store base and our distribution system. Our new
      distribution center is scheduled to open next quarter, providing more
      long term benefits to our Company,&#8221; continued Mr. Ingle.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Second Quarter Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales increased by $11.3 million to $881.7 million for the three
      months ended March&#160;24,&#160;2012, from $870.4 million for the three months
      ended March 26, 2011. The growth in sales benefited from higher gasoline
      prices and more customer transactions compared with the second quarter
      of last year, and was offset partially by more favorable weather in 2012
      than the prior year. Second quarter 2011 included a large number of snow
      days that resulted in customers spending more time at home for meals,
      including children on snow days who are eating at home rather than at
      school. Excluding gasoline, grocery segment comparable store sales were
      essentially flat (decreased 0.1%) compared with the second quarter of
      the prior fiscal year. The number of customer transactions (excluding
      gasoline) increased 0.7%, while the comparable average transaction size
      decreased 0.8% compared with the same quarter last year. Ingles operated
      203 stores at March&#160;24, 2012, and at March 26, 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit for the March 2012 quarter decreased 1.1% to $192.4
      million, compared with $194.6&#160;million for the second quarter of last
      fiscal year. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 21.8% for the
      March 2012 quarter compared with 22.4% for the March 2011 quarter. Gross
      profit contributed by gasoline sales was lower due to a spike in
      gasoline prices compared with the second quarter of last year. Excluding
      gasoline sales, grocery segment gross profit as a percentage of sales
      was level at 25.9% for the three months ended March&#160;24,&#160;2012, compared
      with 26.0% for the same quarter of last fiscal year.

      Operating and administrative expenses for the March 2012 quarter totaled
      $169.1 million, an increase of $0.5 million, or 0.3% over the March 2011
      quarter. Excluding gasoline sales and associated operating expenses
      (primarily payroll), operating and administrative expenses as a
      percentage of sales were 22.4% for both the three months ended March 24,
      2012 and the three months ended March 26, 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense decreased $0.8 million for the three-month period ended
      March&#160;24,&#160;2012, to $14.9 million from $15.7 million for the three-month
      period ended March 26, 2011. The decrease in interest expense is
      attributable to lower interest rates and to capitalized interest. Total
      debt at March 24, 2012, was $833.5 million compared with $875.6&#160;million
      at March 26, 2011. The Company currently has lines of credit totaling
      $175.0&#160;million with none borrowed at March&#160;24,&#160;2012. The Company
      believes its financial resources, including these lines of credit and
      other internal and anticipated external sources of funds, will be
      sufficient to meet planned capital expenditures, debt service and
      working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income totaled $6.5 million for the three-month period ended March
      24, 2012, compared with $7.7 million for the three-month period ended
      March 26, 2011. Net income, as a percentage of sales, was 0.8% for the
      quarter ended March 24, 2012, compared with 0.9% for the quarter ended
      March&#160;26,&#160;2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share for Class A Common
      Stock were $0.28 and $0.27 for the quarter ended March 24, 2012,
      compared to $0.33 and $0.32, respectively, for the quarter ended March
      26, 2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share for Class B Common Stock
      were each $0.26 for the quarter ended March 24, 2012, compared to $0.30
      of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 26,
      2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>First Half Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales increased $56.8 million to $1.80 billion for the six months
      ended March 24, 2012, from $1.74 billion for the six months ended March
      26, 2011. Excluding gasoline, where retail prices were significantly
      higher than the March 2011 six month period, grocery segment comparable
      store sales increased 1.6%. The number of customer transactions
      (excluding gasoline) increased 1.4%, while the comparable average
      transaction size increased 0.3%&#160;compared with the March 2011 six-month

      Gross profit for the six months ended March 24, 2012, increased 1.6%, to
      $394.2 million, an increase of $6.1 million compared with the first six
      months of last fiscal year. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was
      21.9% for the March 2012 six-month period compared with 22.3% for the
      March 2011 six-month period. Gross profit dollars increased due to the
      higher sales volume and inflationary effects on certain products.
      Excluding gasoline sales, grocery segment gross profit as a percentage
      of sales rose to 25.7% for the six months ended March 24, 2012, compared
      with 25.6% for the same period of last fiscal year.

    <p>
      Operating and administrative expenses increased $5.1 million, or 1.6%,

      million for the six months ended March&#160;26,&#160;2011. As a percentage of
      sales (and excluding gasoline), operating and administrative expenses
      were 22.0% for the six-month period ended March 24, 2012, compared with
      22.1% for the six-month period ended March 26, 2011. Operating expense
      increases were driven by store development activities, including higher
      personnel cost, repairs, and depreciation.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense totaled $30.0 million for the six-month period ended
      March&#160;24,&#160;2012, compared with $31.6&#160;million for the six-month period
      ended March 26, 2011. Principal debt payments totaled $24.9 million
      during the March 2012 six-month period.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income totaled $17.1 million for the six-month period ended March
      24, 2012, compared with $15.4 million for the six-month period ended
      March 26, 2011. Net income, as a percentage of sales, was 1.0% for the
      six months ended March 24, 2012, and 0.9% for the six months ended March
      26, 2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share for Class A Common Stock
      were $0.73&#160;and $0.70 for the six months ended March 24, 2012, compared
      to $0.66 and $0.63, respectively, for the six months ended March 26,
      2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share for Class B Common Stock were
      each $0.67 for the six months ended March 24, 2012, compared to $0.60 of
      basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 26,
      2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Capital expenditures for the March&#160;2012 six-month period totaled $103.5
      million, compared with $42.9 million for the March 2011 six-month
      period. The increase is attributable to the construction of the new
      distribution center that will open later this fiscal year. Capital
      expenditures for the entire fiscal year are expected to be approximately
      $160 million, including expenditures for the new distribution facility,
      store improvements and for stores to open in fiscal 2013.
