VLGEA: DEF 14A · proxy statement
Village Super Market filed its DEF 14A for a fully virtual annual meeting on December 11, 2026, with four proposals: electing nine directors, ratifying KPMG as auditor, an advisory say-on-pay vote, and approval of a new 2026 Equity Incentive Plan.
The new 2026 Plan would reserve 1,200,000 Class A shares (8% of outstanding common stock as of the October 12, 2026 record date), expected to support equity compensation for roughly 10 years, replacing the expiring 2016 Plan. The company also shifted from triennial cliff-vesting grants to annual grants vesting over three years.
Compensation disclosures note aggregate fiscal 2026 bonuses were 5% lower than fiscal 2025, reflecting a 7% decrease in net income excluding nonrecurring items, with 3% salary increases approved for fiscal 2027. The Sumas Family Group controls about 61.7% of voting power via Class B super-voting shares, making Village a NASDAQ 'controlled company' exempt from majority-independent board requirements.

VLGEA: 10-K · periodic report
Village Super Market reported fiscal 2026 sales of $2.41 billion, up 3.7% on 2.2% same-store sales growth and new replacement stores in Watchung and East Orange, NJ. Net income fell to $52.5 million from $56.4 million as gross margin compressed to 28.17% on lower Wakefern patronage dividends and higher operating costs. Diluted Class A EPS was $3.54 versus $3.81 a year earlier.
The company is locked in escalating litigation with Wakefern, its principal supplier and cooperative, over Wakefern's acquisition of Morton Williams, with counterclaims (later withdrawn as procedurally deficient) seeking to force Village out of the cooperative, plus a separate trademark suit over the Fairway and Gourmet Garage marks.
Village remains financially strong with $130.8 million in cash, covenant compliance on its Wells Fargo credit facility, and continued dividend plans; it budgeted $80 million for FY2027 capex including a Galloway, NJ replacement store and a new Manhattan Fairway, and guides to 0.5% to 2.0% same-store sales growth.

Village Super Market reported Q4 fiscal 2026 sales of $609.6 million, up 1.6%, with net income of $13.6 million or $0.92 per Class A diluted share, down from $15.5 million or $1.05 a year earlier.
Full-year fiscal 2026 sales rose 3.7% to $2.406 billion, but net income declined to $52.5 million from $56.4 million as operating and administrative expense as a percent of sales expanded to 24.06%.
Growth was driven by digital sales (same-store digital up ~6% in Q4), fresh and pharmacy strength, and replacement store openings, partially offset by egg price deflation and cost pressures.

Village Super Market, Inc. Reports Results for the Third Quarter Ended April 25, 2026
Village Super Market reported Q3 fiscal 2026 sales of $572.6 million, a 1.6% increase year-over-year, driven primarily by the opening of a replacement store in Watchung, NJ.

Net income fell to $9.0 million from $11.2 million in the prior year, with gross margin compressing to 28.08% from 28.77% due to lower patronage dividends from Wakefern and increased promotional spending.
