Marsh Announces Store Closures
Marsh Supermarkets announced it is closing two stores after a review of company finances.
In a statement released today the supermarket chain says, “We believe it is prudent for all good companies to continually review and evaluate their assets, processes and business plans. In the world of retailing, competition moves in and out of our marketing areas, populations shift, retail centers grow and decline.
“After careful analysis and the expiration of current leases, the decision was made to close the Marsh located at 4512 S. Adams St. in Marion, Ind., and the Marsh located at 2710 State St., in Columbus, Ind. While the decision to close stores is never easy, the management team is committed to improving operating results and strengthening the Company’s position in our marketing areas.”
The company said it will offer as many employees as possible opportunities to transfer to other locations or be granted severance packages.
Marsh also maintains a store in Warsaw.
