INDIANAPOLIS -- Marsh Supermarkets announced Thursday that nine more Indiana stores would be closing for good by the end of May, that makes 18 stores closing this month.

Before the whirlwind of closures began in January, there were over 70 Marsh Supermarkets and O’Malia Food Markets in Indiana and Ohio. After the May closures, the company will only have 44 stores still open.
Marsh has been an Indiana staple since the company opened their first store in Muncie in 1931. Their headquarters is currently in Indianapolis.
