Marsh Supermarkets is no backwater grocery chain. A leading retailer in Indianapolis, Marsh operates about 100 supermarkets under the Marsh Supermarkets, Marsh Hometown Markets, and O'Malia's Food Markets banners in Indiana and western Ohio. About 40% of the stores have pharmacy departments. Its floral business -- Marsh Floral Fashions -- operates floral and gift departments inside Marsh stores. Founded in 1931, the family of late founder Ermal Marsh sold the company in 2006 to an affiliate of the private equity firm Sun Capital Partners (SCP) for about $325 million. After restoring the grocery chain to profitability, SCP put it up for sale in late 2009.
