Properties, in its own words

As of July 25, 2026, Village owns the sites of nine of its supermarkets (containing 576,000 square feet of total space). The remaining 28 stores (containing 1,553,000 square feet of total space), the central commissary and the corporate headquarters are leased, with initial lease terms generally ranging from 20 to 30 years, usually with renewal options. The stores are freestanding or are located in shopping centers or city storefronts. Most of the Company's leases contain renewal options at increased rents of five years each at the Company's sole discretion. These options enable Village to retain the use of facilities in desirable operating areas. Each renewal option is evaluated when recognizing the lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, and the Company utilizes the lease term for which it is reasonably certain to use the underlying asset. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company is obligated under all leases to pay for real estate taxes, utilities and liability insurance, and under certain leases to pay additional amounts based on maintenance and a percentage of sales in excess of stipulated amounts. The Company accounts for rent holidays, escalating rent provisions and construction allowances on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company owns all trade fixtures and equipment in its stores and several other properties including retail shopping centers and parcels of vacant land, which are available as locations for possible future stores or other development.

As of July 25, 2026, finance lease right-of-use assets of $8,070 are included in property, equipment and fixtures, net in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

The rest of Item 2

The annual rental payment, including finance leases, for all of the Company's leased facilities for the year ended July 25, 2026 was approximately $38,969. For additional information on lease obligations, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company holds a 30% interest in the development of a retail center in Old Bridge, New Jersey, which includes the Village Old Bridge replacement store. As of July 25, 2026, the Company had an operating lease obligation of $4,279 related to the project and had invested $17,694 in the real estate partnership. The investment is accounted for under the equity method and is included in Investments in Real Estate Partnerships on the consolidated balance sheets. No additional equity investment is expected for this project.

Village is a limited partner in two additional partnerships, one of which owns a shopping center in which one of our leased stores is located. The Company is also a general partner in a partnership that is a lessor of one of the Company's freestanding stores.

Legal proceedings

On May 2, 2025, the Company filed a Verified Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (the "Complaint") against Wakefern and certain members of its senior management ("Wakefern Management," and together with Wakefern, the "Defendants") in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Middlesex County (the "Chancery Court"). The matter was captioned Village Super Market, Inc., et al. v. Wakefern Food Corp., et al. In the Complaint, the Company sought to enjoin Wakefern's acquisition of Morton Williams Supermarkets (the "Acquisition") on the basis that the Acquisition violates Wakefern's governing documents, which the Company believes prohibits Wakefern from acquiring and operating a retail chain that competes directly with its members. It also challenged certain actions and inactions by the Defendants in connection with the Acquisition. Subsequently, the Company filed an amended complaint in the Chancery Court on September 19, 2025 (the "First Amended Complaint") to include additional claims concerning the Defendant's actions against the Company that occurred beginning in 2025. The Court declined to enjoin the Acquisition and it closed on or about October 1, 2025.

On January 16, 2026, the Chancery Court denied Wakefern Management's motion to dismiss the claims asserted against them for breach of fiduciary duty. The Chancery Court also entered an Order granting the Company's motion to transfer the matter to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County (the "Law Division"). Subsequently, the Company filed a second amended complaint and Jury Demand with the Law Division on February 6, 2026 (the "Second Amended Complaint") to seek monetary and punitive damages, and removed the request for injunctive relief as a result of the consummation of the Acquisition.
