      Markets, Incorporated Announces Increased Sales and Net Income for Third
      Quarter and Nine Months of Fiscal 2012</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2012--Ingles Markets,
      Incorporated (NASDAQ:&#160;IMKTA) today reported increased sales and net
      income for the three and nine month periods ended June&#160;23,&#160;2012,
      compared with the same periods of the previous year. Third quarter 2012
      net sales rose to $917.8 million, compared with $911.0 million for the
      previous year. Net income totaled $13.1 million for the third quarter of
      fiscal year 2012, compared with $12.7 million for the same period of
      last fiscal year. Included in last year&#8217;s quarterly net income was a
      $2.8 million pre-tax gain on a property disposal. If that gain is
      excluded, pre-tax income increased 18.2% for the comparative third
      quarters. For the first nine months of fiscal 2012, net sales rose 2.4%
      to $2.72 billion and net income increased 7.4% to $30.2 million compared
      with the first nine months of fiscal 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Robert P. Ingle II, chief executive officer, stated, &#8220;We opened our new
      distribution center in June and we are pleased with the initial results.
      We are also pleased with our sales and profit growth for the third
      quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2012.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Third Quarter Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales rose 0.7% to $917.8 million for the three months ended June
      23, 2012, compared with $911.0&#160;million for the three months ended June
      25, 2011. Ingles operated 203 stores and 11.0&#160;million retail square feet
      at the end of both June 2012 and June 2011. Excluding gasoline, where
      retail prices were approximately ten cents per gallon lower in the June
      2012 quarter compared with the June 2011 quarter, grocery segment
      comparable store sales increased 2.1%.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit for the June 2012 quarter increased 2.3% to $205.9 million,
      an increase of $4.6&#160;million compared with the third quarter of last
      fiscal year. The increase in gross profit dollars is attributable to
      increased sales and an increase in gross profit margin. Gross profit, as
      a percentage of sales, rose to 22.4% for the June 2012 quarter compared
      with 22.1% for the June 2011 quarter. Excluding gasoline sales, grocery
      segment gross profit as a percentage of sales was level over the
      comparative three-month periods at 26.1% for the three months ended June
      23, 2012, compared with 26.0% for the same quarter of last fiscal year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Operating and administrative expenses for the June 2012 quarter totaled
      $172.3 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 1.5% over the June 2011
      quarter. Excluding gasoline sales and associated operating expenses
      (primarily payroll), operating and administrative expenses as a
      percentage of sales remained level at 22.0% for the three months ended
      June 2012 compared with 22.1% for the three months ended June 2011.

    <p>
      During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company was granted $3.1
      million in an eminent domain proceeding related to an owned land parcel
      and recognized a gain of approximately $2.8 million. There were no other
      significant sale or disposal transactions in the third quarter of either
      fiscal 2012 or 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense decreased $0.4 million for the three-month period ended
      June 23,&#160;2012, to $14.9 million from $15.3 million for the three-month
      period ended June 25, 2011. Total debt at June 23, 2012, was $846.1
      million compared with $857.1&#160;million at June 25, 2011. Interest on the
      $99.7 million of bonds issued in December 2010 to fund the new
      distribution center was capitalized as part of the project cost up until
      June 2012, when the facility began operation.
    </p>
    <p>
      Income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income decreased to 37.0%
      in the June 2012 quarter compared with 37.7% in the June 2011 quarter
      due to higher tax credits partially offset by higher state income taxes.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income totaled $13.1 million, or 1.4% of sales, for the three-month
      period ended June&#160;23,&#160;2012, compared with $12.7 million, also 1.4% of
      sales, for the three-month period ended June 25, 2011. Basic and diluted
      earnings per share for publicly traded Class A Common Stock were $0.56
      and $0.54 for the June 2012 quarter compared with $0.54 and $0.52,
      respectively, for the June 2011 quarter. Basic and diluted earnings per
      share for Class B Common Stock were each $0.51 for the June 2012 quarter
      compared with $0.49 of basic and diluted earnings per share for the
      June&#160;2011 quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Nine Months Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales increased 2.4%, to $2.72 billion for the nine months ended
      June&#160;2012 compared with the same period in the prior fiscal year.
      Excluding gasoline, where retail prices were higher in the June 2012
      nine-month period compared with the June 2011 nine-month period, grocery
      segment comparable store sales increased 1.8%. The number of customer
      transactions (excluding gasoline) increased 1.4%, while the comparable
      average transaction size increased 0.4% compared with the nine month
      period of last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit dollars for the June 2012 nine-month period increased $10.7
      million, or 1.8%, to $600.1&#160;million, compared with $589.5 million for
      the same period of fiscal 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
      was 22.1% and 22.2% for the nine months ended June&#160;23,&#160;2012 and
      June&#160;25,&#160;2011, respectively. The decline in gross profit margin was due
      primarily to gasoline sales. Excluding gasoline sales, grocery segment
      gross profit as a percentage of sales rose to 25.8% for the nine months
      ended June&#160;23, 2012, compared with 25.7% for the same period of last
      fiscal year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Operating expenses increased $7.6 million comparing the first nine
      months of fiscal 2012 to the&#160;same period of last fiscal year, and were
      18.9% of sales for the nine months ended June&#160;23,&#160;2012, compared with
      19.1% of sales for the nine months of fiscal 2011. Excluding gasoline
      sales and associated gasoline operating expenses (primarily payroll),
      operating expenses were 22.0% of sales for the nine-month fiscal 2012
      period compared with 22.1% for the same period of fiscal 2011. Operating
      expense increases were driven by sales growth and store development
      activities, including higher personnel, repairs, depreciation, and
      supply costs.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense totaled $44.8 million for the nine-month period ended
      June 23, 2012, a decrease of $2.1&#160;million from $46.9 million for the
      nine-month period ended June&#160;25,&#160;2011. During the nine months ended June
      23, 2012, net principal debt reductions totaled $9.0 million.
    </p>
    <p>
      Income tax expense as a percentage of pre-tax income was 35.5% for the
      June&#160;2012 nine-month period compared with 36.5% for the comparable June
      2011 period.

      Net income totaled $30.2 million, or 1.1% of sales, for the nine-month
      period ended June&#160;23,&#160;2012, compared with $28.1 million, also 1.1% of
      sales, for the nine-month period ended June 25, 2011. Basic and diluted
      earnings per share for publicly traded Class A Common Stock were $1.30
      and $1.24 for the June&#160;2012 nine-month period compared with $1.20 and
      $1.15, respectively, for the June 2011 nine-month period. Basic and
      diluted earnings per share for Class B Common Stock were each $1.18 for
      the fiscal June 2012 period compared with $1.09&#160;of basic and diluted
      earnings per share for the same period of last fiscal year.
    </p>
    <p>
      During June 2012, the Company began operations in its newly constructed
      836,000 square foot warehouse and distribution facility located adjacent
      to its existing 919,000 square foot facility. When fully operational,
      the new facility will distribute frozen, health/beauty/cosmetic and
      general merchandise products previously distributed by third parties.
      The new facility also produces ice, and provides expanded perishable
      distribution in a modern, energy efficient building.
    </p>
    <p>
      Capital expenditures totaled $144.9 million for the nine-month period
      ended June 23, 2012. Approximately one half of this total was spent on
      construction and equipment related to the new distribution facility.
      Another significant component of the Company&#8217;s capital expenditures has
      been its ongoing program of remodels to a larger number of stores which
      do not result in increased square footage or new buildings. Capital
      expenditures are expected to be approximately $170 million for the full
      fiscal year.
    </p>
    <p>
      At June 23, 2012, the Company had $175 million of committed credit
      facilities, of which $20&#160;million was outstanding. The Company believes,
      based on its current results of operations and financial condition, that
      its financial resources, including existing bank lines of credit, short-
      and long-term financing expected to be available to it and internally
      generated funds, will be sufficient to meet planned capital expenditures
      and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future, including
      any debt service requirements of additional borrowings.
