average of 3,817,718 shares
of common stock
outstanding. In 1974, the
outstanding shares averaged
3,823,501.
Ernest F. Boyce,
Colonial's Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, said
one of the most encouraging
aspects about 1975 was the
continued stabilizing of many
retail food prices.
"Prices of many dry
grocery items actually
declined during the year with
the result that the inflation
rate of increase in dry grocery '
prices was less than 2 per cent
by year's end' , Boyce said.
"Double digit inflation has
run its course, based on the
strong evidence of a
rebounding economy and
renewed customer confidence
at the close of 1975", Boyce
continued. "I view last year's
results as highly satisfactory,
and we enter 1976 with a
new note of optimism".
Colonial is undertaking
"the greatest expansion
program in the history of the
company" over the next five
years, with a projected capital
outlay in excess of $100
million. The program calls for
the opening of 180 to 200
new stores, enlargement and
remodeling of 35 existing
stores, and the closing of 90
older, smaller stores. Also
