Former Winn Dixie Chief Will Run Marsh Supermarkets

Last updated on Monday, September 25, 2006

(UNDATED) - Marsh supermarkets has a new CEO.

Shareholders voted overwhelmingly to approve the sale of the chain to Sun Capital Partners.

The price, $88-million, in cash. But the head of Sun said with debt assumption the cost is closer to $325-million.

The former chief of Winn Dixie stores, Frank Lazaran, will be running Marsh. He promises to build on Marsh's strengths and move forward.
