Niche supermarket, similiar to a REIT with the amount of commercial property's this company owns. Sure strong competition but has consistenly gron sales of 43 years and offers competitive savings. It has its own laura lynn brand named after ingles daughter. Distribution center and HQ in a 280 mile radius of all store could hurt them in further expansion but also serves them well now.

I've been impressed with their quality and service. Their frozen vegetable selection is fantastic and totally unexpected in a store of their size. Also the meat department is well run. I was delighted that they sold Christmas pudding and certain jams I thought were only available in World Market or the UK. Since I shop here I will consider the high dividend a coupon :)

Near 52 week low. Stable business, decent cashflow, probably less capital expenses in future than in recent past.

Worth $41/share, buy below $27.25/share. 5th generation running company with lower than average salaries. Similar to Costco in services and food goods. Verticle operation with dairies, trucking, and stores. Repeatable business model, but limited to the southeast currently. Might want to own some before they expand beyond that region.

good company but a small dividend return compared to the price of the stock. More porfitable to sell out and buy CD's than remain invested.

Primarily run by the Ingle family (the founding family), who owns a good percentage of the company. Ingles has an experienced management team, and a strong foundation of stores with plans to open more in the future.

The balance sheet isn't very strong, but I think it will be strengthened going forward. Right now management is choosing to expand and invest in new equipment, which I think is a good move for this relatively small business.

Sales and earnings are growing incredibly quickly, 2006 has been a record year for earnings. Ingles is expanding nicely, not too fast, and margins still are pretty thin and have lots of room to grow. Once the company gets more settled in, margins will most likely expand.

No analysts are following the stock, and I think a P/E near 25 is too low considering the amazing rate earnings are growing at.
