Well even though you knew that maybe some of the other posters did not.
Half the fun of the CD forum is learning things you do not know.

Sorry if you found it useless maybe other did not know Kroger has many tentacles.
IDK ... No harm intended .... IMO Food4 less is a great store.

SuperValu scooped them up.

Cub Foods is also a subsidiary of SuperValu

I am not a fan of Kroger (especially the meat). I occasionally shopped at F4L back home (which I understand is a subsidiary of Kroger). Ultra Foods is a fantastic store with a huge selection of everything, I was hoping they had a store here.

Thanks you all so much for the information

Just goes to say Kroger doesnt own Indy
Marsh/Meijer/Walmart/Sams Club/Costco/Foods4Less are all good

Marsh has closed several locations on the past few years including a very nice O'Malia's store in Carmel.

It has been very disappointing to see the destruction of the O'Malia's brand by Sun Capital.

That O'Malia store in Carmel was excellent, the employees were always friendly and helpful.

Agreed. Marsh used to have a real home-town Indiana feel, but that all disappeared when the company was bought by Sun Capital.

Remember when Marsh used to support all the Indiana charities and teams? Marsh sent dozens of kids to Pacers camps, Colts games, etc. Marsh was a major sponsor at Colts and Pacers games as well as different area festivals, etc. That all disappeared overnight when Sun Capital took over.

Some towns now have only Kroger stores after the Marsh stores closed.

I apologize for the head smack and it wasn't that I found your information useless. It's just that I'm so frustrated trying to find a grocery store with more options and better quality of meat. I'm used to having a lot of options and just getting very homesick.
