Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have requested our opinion in connection with the Post Effective
Amendment No. 1 to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") filed by Village Super Market, Inc. (the "Company") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for the additional
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 300,000 shares
of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Shares") which may be acquired by
certain employees of the Company pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Company's 2004 Stock Plan (the "Plan").

     We are familiar with the corporate proceedings relating to the
authorization of the Shares and have reviewed the corporate proceedings taken
with respect to the approval of the Plan by the Company's Board of Directors
and the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on
December 10, 2004.  We have examined and relied on originals, or copies
certified to our satisfaction, of all such corporate records of the Company
and such other instruments and other certificates of public officials,
officers and representatives of the Company and such other persons, and we
have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a
basis for the opinion herein expressed.

     Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares will, if
issued and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan,
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.  By giving such consent we do not thereby admit that
we are an "expert" with respect to any part of such Registration Statement as
that term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules or
regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

                         Very truly yours,


                         DILLON, BITAR & LUTHER, L.L.C.


                         Dillon, Bitar & Luther, L.L.C.
