News Release from Dillons:

COMMITMENT TO JOPLIN REMAINS AS DILLONS READIES A TEMPORARY PHARMACY LOCATION AND “RED CROSS TORNADO RELIEF DRIVE” CONTINUES WITH MORE THAN $117,000 IN DONATIONS

HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, June 10, 2011 – Through an ongoing commitment to the community, Dillon Stores today shared plans to open a temporary Dillons Pharmacy mobile unit at their existing site, 1402 E. 20th Street in Joplin, MO.

While the team from Dillons continues work to ready the site, the pharmacy unit is expected to open on Monday, June 13 in Joplin. The hours of operation will be as follows:

· 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Monday through Friday

· 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM on Saturday

· Closed on Sunday

When visiting the temporary Dillons Pharmacy, customers will be greeted by many familiar faces of the pharmacists and technicians from the original store’s pharmacy.

“Our top priorities for Dillons have always been focused on the needs of our associates in Joplin and community in the wake of this disaster,” said Sheila Lowrie, Dillons Spokeswoman. “With the opening of our new Dillons Pharmacy, we can help ensure our customers and associates have convenient access to the medications they need and the care from a familiar, friendly face.”

This commitment to Joplin can also be seen through the ongoing “Red Cross Tornado Relief” donation drive. Thanks to the generosity of customers and associates, more than $58,500 has been collected through a “round up” at cash registers at all locations. Dillons Stores has also pledged an additional “dollar-for-dollar” matching contribution to the Red Cross, bringing the current contribution to more than $117,000.

Customers and associates may give a cash donation at coin-boxes or round-up their grocery order to the nearest dollar at the register while doing their regular grocery shopping. Donations are now being accepted at all Dillons, Baker’s, Gerbes, and Fremont Food 4 Less in Nebraska through June 18, 2011. 100% of funds collected will benefit the Red Cross’ tornado relief efforts. The “Red Cross Tornado Relief” donation drive has been made possible by the additional support of local media partners:

· Wichita, KS: KAKE TV (ABC)

· Topeka, KS: WIBW TV (CBS)

· Springfield, MO: Clear Channel Radio

· Columbia, MO: Zimmer Radio Group

“The generosity of our customers and associates is truly remarkable,” Lowrie added. “Time and time again, our customers and employees step forward to help with open hearts when disasters strike. With one week remaining in our ‘Red Cross Tornado Relief’ drive, more than $58,500 has been gracious donated at our stores. Combined with a matching contribution from Dillons, together we will provide $117,000 to the Red Cross, as of today. Every donation counts and we thank our customers, associates, and media partners for their support.”

Dillons has also pledged $250,000 to the Ozark Food Harvest in support of continued relief efforts and provided a semi-truck load of water and food to assist with essential needs at the Joplin Red Cross Command Center, shortly following the storm.

Thanks Dillons!
