ITEM 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
 
             On November 18, 2009, the board of directors of Village Super Market, Inc (the “Company”) approved an amended and restated Code of Ethics (the “Code”) applicable to its employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.  The Code was revised to add the following sections:
 
 
9.     I also agree that, if I should become aware of any violation of law or of this code by the Company or anyone acting on behalf of the Company, it is my responsibility to report the violation promptly to the Company's chief financial officer, general counsel, chief executive officer or the Audit Committee whistleblower hotline, as appropriate.  I understand that although the Company seeks to address any such matters internally, nothing in this Code prevents me from reporting any illegal activity to the appropriate legal authority.  I also understand that the Company will not discriminate or retaliate against me if I in good faith report such violation, and that I will not discriminate or retaliate against other employees who report violations.  Further, I understand that this Code does not prohibit me from testifying or otherwise participating in any proceeding or investigation that may follow.
 
10.   I acknowledge that violations of this code may subject me to disciplinary action, which could include termination.


        The adoption of the revised Code did not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Company’s previous Code.
