O’Malia’s Supermarket at Carmel will close July 8, a victim of the Marsh food stores bankruptcy. One Marsh store in the Fishers area will survive.
The O’Malia store was purchased several years ago by Marsh, but the name was so popular it was retained. Now the market at 126th and Gray Road will close July 8.
The Fishers Marsh at 116th and Brooks School Road has been purchased by Kroger, and will remain open, probably with a new name. The other Marsh stores in Hamilton County are closing or have already closed including the one in Noblesville.
The Tipton Marsh has been bought by Kroger allowing Tipton County to keep a supermarket. When the bankruptcy was announced it was feared the Tipton store might close, leaving the entire county without a supermarket.
An estimated 250 Marsh employees in Hamilton County are losing their jobs as a result of the closings. Kroger, looking for employees, is expected to hire some of them.
