"Our strong comparable store sales growth continues to demonstrate our ability to succeed in a highly competitive retail market," said Don E. Marsh, chairman and CEO.
During the quarter, the company opened two new Village Pantry convenience stores and acquired three convenience stores. The company also converted three Marsh supermarkets to LoBill Foods. Marsh acquired two supermarkets and closed two stores in order to consolidate sales into the remaining units.
The company purchased the assets of O'Malia Food Markets, which has eight upscale stores in the Indianapolis metro area. O'Malia will operate as a separate division.
The company also sold the assets of CSDC to McLane Company Inc., a Temple, Texas-based grocery distributor.
