Marsh Hires Price Chopper Executive As Chairman, CEO

Grocery industry veteran Joseph M. Kelley has been named chairman, president and CEO of Marsh Supermarkets Inc., the Indianapolis-based company said early Monday.

He replaces Frank Lazaran, who announced his departure about two weeks ago.

Officials at parent company Sun Capital Partners said then that a successor had been hired, but did not identify him. At the time, industry publication Supermarket News said Kelley had the job.

Most recently, Kelley was executive vice president at Price Chopper, a Schenectady, N.Y.-based grocery chain with about 125 locations in six states, mostly in New York.
