Topvalco, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Kroger Co., will acquire the leasehold interests of Marsh Supermarkets and its affiliates in 11 central and southern Indiana locations. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, presiding over the Marsh Supermarkets chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, approved the Topvalco bid.

Katie Wolfram, President of the Central Division of Kroger, says, “These are very desirable properties.  We are pleased to have the opportunity to provide Kroger service and value to even more Hoosier shoppers. We are eager to let them see why so many people make Kroger their favorite local grocery store.”
