PART I
Item 1. Business
General
At March 27, 2004, Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. (the Company or Marsh®) operated 114 supermarkets and 164 Village Pantry® convenience stores in central Indiana and western Ohio. The Company believes that Marsh supermarkets have one of the largest market shares of supermarket chains operating in its market area and Village Pantry has one of the largest market shares of convenience stores in its market area. Marsh also owns and operates a food services division, which provides upscale catering, vending, office coffee, coffee roasting, concession and business cafeteria management services, and a floral division, which operates six upscale retail floral shops under the name of McNamara® and one business florist under the name Enflora®. The Company may from time to time explore various strategic alternatives regarding one or more of its business divisions.
Supermarkets
At March 27, 2004, the Company operated 101 supermarkets in central Indiana and 13 in western Ohio. The 49 stores in the Indianapolis metropolitan market area constitute the Companys major market. The remaining supermarkets operate in 39 other communities. Revenues from supermarket operations represented approximately 80% of the 2004 consolidated sales and other revenues.
The Companys supermarket merchandising strategy emphasizes service, quality and convenient one-stop shopping at competitive prices. Of the Companys supermarkets, 54 are open 24 hours a day and 15 are open until midnight, with the remainder having various other schedules. All stores are open seven days a week.
The Company believes providing quality merchandise is an important factor in maintaining and expanding its customer base. In recent years, the Company has devoted a greater proportion of new and remodeled stores to fresh, high quality perishables, such as produce, delicatessen items, baked goods, prepared foods, seafood and floral items. The Company believes fresh produce is an important customer draw; therefore, it focuses on buying premium quality produce worldwide. The geographic concentration of the Companys supermarkets enables the Company to deliver fresh items to its stores quickly and frequently. An extension of this theme is convenient, high quality, ready to eat meals. The Chef Fresh program offers take-home items for immediate consumption in 113 stores. These products are prepared in the Companys central kitchen, which provides fresh items to most of the Companys divisions.
The Companys superstore format offers customers convenient one-stop shopping. Its Marsh supermarkets feature an extended line of traditional grocery store items as well as service and specialty departments, such as delicatessens, bakeries, prepared foods, prime cut meats, fresh seafood, floral and video rental. The Company features nationally advertised and distributed merchandise along with products under its own trademarks, service marks and trade names. Service and specialty departments included in Marsh supermarkets include delicatessens (113 stores), hot prepared foods (76), bakeries (113), prime cut service meat (62), fresh seafood (64), sushi shops (26), floral shops (76), imported cheese shops (80), wines and beer (108), salad bars (43), video rental (48), fuel kiosks (5) and Ticketmaster® outlets (33). Forty-two of the Companys supermarkets include pharmacies in food and drug combination stores. In addition, banks or savings institutions operate branch facilities in 37 of the Companys stores and 93 stores offer automated teller machines (ATMs).
The Companys superstore format is in excess of 75,000 square feet, and its modern conventional supermarket format is approximately 55,000 to 65,000 square feet. The Company currently operates six superstores and 17 modern conventional supermarkets. Approximately one-third of the sales area in these stores is devoted to merchandising fresh, high quality perishable products such as deli meats and salads, baked goods, prepared foods and produce. Approximately 54% of the total supermarket square footage has been newly constructed or remodeled in the past 10 years.
2
The Company has a smaller, low-price supermarket format with limited service and specialty departments as an alternative to the large, full service Marsh supermarket. As of March 27, 2004, the Company operated 36 supermarkets under the trade name LoBill Foods®. There is an ongoing development program to remodel selected Marsh supermarkets to the LoBill format. The Company believes the LoBill format offers an opportunity to maximize its market share by expanding into smaller communities and inner city metropolitan areas that can be better served by that format and to appeal to the price motivated consumer in markets currently served by traditional Marsh stores. The Company also operates one limited selection, stock-up grocery store with an every day low price format operating under the trade name Savin*$.
The Company operated nine OMalia Food Markets as of March 27, 2004. OMalia Food Markets are upscale neighborhood stores whose reputation has been built upon full service meat, specialty food items and the highest level of customer service. The Company believes this format offers the opportunity to enhance its market share by strategic placement of OMalia stores in neighborhoods where consumers appreciate a selection of non-traditional grocery items and full-service.
The Companys supermarkets range in size from 12,200 to 82,300 square feet. The average size is approximately 39,000 square feet. The Company has an ongoing development program of constructing larger Marsh supermarkets within its market area and remodeling, enlarging and replacing existing supermarkets. Future development will continue to focus on a food and drug combination store format of approximately 55,000 to 65,000 square feet, with superstores in excess of 75,000 square feet in select locations. The Company believes a larger store format enables it to offer a wider variety of products and expanded service and specialty departments, thereby strengthening its competitive position. The following summarizes the number of stores by size categories:
Number | ||||

The Company advertises through various media, including circulars, newspapers, radio and television. Printed circulars are used extensively on a weekly basis to advertise featured items. The focus of the television campaign primarily promotes a quality and service image rather than specific products and prices. The Indianapolis television market covers approximately 80% of the Companys supermarkets. Various sales enhancement promotional activities designed to encourage repeat shoppers are conducted as an important part of the Companys merchandising strategy. The Company utilizes a frequent shopper card program, Fresh I.D.E.A. Card®. The card provides shoppers electronic coupons, opportunities to win trips and other prizes, and also functions as a video rental card. Over 800,000 active cards are in circulation. Further, customers may select a VISA® co-branded credit card option for their Fresh I.D.E.A. Card and earn rebates on all credit card purchases regardless of the merchant. The credit card rebates are funded by the Companys bank partner. In 2000, the Company implemented a Marsh Kids Club program to emphasize marketing opportunities to families. In 2002, the Company introduced MyMarshSM, an exclusive program that allows the Company to optimize promotional dollars by tracking individual customer spending and delivering incentives and rewards tailored to each customer with limited or no competitor visibility.

Convenience Stores
At March 27, 2004, the Company operated 164 convenience stores under the Village Pantry trade name. These self-service stores offer a broad selection of grocery, bakery, dairy and delicatessen items, including fountain drinks, and store-prepared pizza and/or chicken (51), fresh pastry products (114) and sandwiches (159). Fifty-nine of the stores have sit down eating areas. All of the stores sell money orders and lottery tickets and 146 stores have ATMs. Additionally, 109 stores offer petroleum products; approximately 80% of the petroleum stores are operated under the Marathon brand and the remaining petroleum stores are unbranded. Nineteen of the stores operate drive-thru car washes. Revenues from the convenience stores represented approximately 16% of the 2004 consolidated sales and other revenues. Carry-out cold beer, a high-volume item typically found in convenience stores in other states, may be sold only by package liquor stores and taverns in Indiana; accordingly, it is not sold in the Companys convenience stores in Indiana. All but 15 of the Companys convenience stores are open 24 hours a day; the remaining stores close between 10:00 PM and midnight. All stores are open seven days a week.
The Company has an ongoing program of upgrading and replacing existing Village Pantry stores with particular emphasis on developing locations that will yield a high volume of gasoline sales. New stores generally range from 3,700 to 5,000 square feet, compared to 1,800-2,500 square feet for older stores. The larger size accommodates the aforementioned prepared food products. In constructing new stores and remodeling and expanding existing stores, the Company tailors the format to each specific market, with heavy emphasis on food service in areas which the Company believes to be less susceptible to intense competition from major fast food operators, such as smaller towns and high density neighborhoods. During fiscal year 2003, the Company re-imaged 102 Village Pantry stores with new exterior signage and painting, interior décor and fixture layout.
Crystal Food Services
The Companys food service operation conducts business under the trade name Crystal Food Services. It offers a range of services including banquet hall catering, special events catering, concession services, cafeteria management, vending, office coffee and coffee roasting. The Company focuses on presenting expertly prepared cuisine in all of its food service operations. The Company intends to expand the food services operations through the solicitation of new customers and possible acquisition of businesses that will complement the existing operations.
The combination of these operations has created a unique range of services, products and facilities. The Companys banquet hall facilities include the Murat Shrine Center, Crown Plaza Hotel at Union Station, Riverwalk Banquet & Lodge, Fountains Banquet and Conference Center, the Indiana Roof Ballroom, Indiana State Museum, NCAA Headquarters and Primo North, South and West. The Company is the largest caterer of special events at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the exclusive foodservice provider of the RCA Tennis Championships. The Company also provides concession services at the Indianapolis Zoo, Prairie View Golf Club and Purgatory Golf Club, cafeteria management to 22 major employers, and vending services, coffee and frozen beverage service to over 2,100 locations throughout the greater Indianapolis area.
Floral Fashions and McNamara
The Companys floral operations conduct business under four trade names. Floral Fashions® provides plants and cut flowers in all 67 of the Marsh supermarkets and custom designed arrangements in 47 of those stores. McNamara is a retail florist operating six upscale, traditional full-service shops in the Indianapolis market and is one of the largest FTD florists in the U.S. and Canada. McNamara also operates a 57,000 square foot design center that serves the Companys supermarket and food services divisions, as well as its own operations. McNamara Marketplace operates nine self-serve shops within the Companys OMalia Food Markets; this brand has been developed recently and will ideally suit future development into hospitals, gift shops, bookstores and other select retail locations. Enflora, Flowers for Business, provides both daily and single event floral arrangements for corporate clients.

Supply and Distribution
The Company supplies its supermarkets from four Company-operated distribution facilities. Non-perishable grocery products are distributed from a 409,000 square foot leased facility in Indianapolis. Frozen foods are distributed from a newly constructed 119,000 square foot Company owned facility in Indianapolis that began operations in August 2002. Produce, meat and delicatessen products are distributed from a 191,000 square foot Company owned perishable products facility in Yorktown, Indiana. Non-food products are distributed from 180,000 square feet of a 388,000 square foot Company owned warehouse in Yorktown. In addition, the Company leases both a 172,000 square foot warehouse and a 32,000 square foot warehouse for storage of forward purchases of merchandise and seasonal items. Additional outside warehouse space is leased as needed to meet seasonal demand.
The Companys distribution centers are modern and automated. Merchandise is controlled through an on-line computerized buying and inventory control system. The Company believes its distribution centers are adequate for its needs for the foreseeable future without major additional capital investment. The Company estimates the supermarket distribution centers currently operate at approximately 75% of aggregate capacity. Approximately 80% of the delivery trips from distribution centers to supermarkets are 75 miles or less. The Company also operates a USDA approved production facility to produce products sold through the delicatessen departments of its supermarkets and convenience stores, and to support Crystal Food Services for large catering events and vending operations.
The Company believes centralized direct buying from major producers and growers and its purchasing and distribution functions provide it with advantages compared to purchasing from a third-party wholesaler. Direct buying, centralized purchasing, and controlled distribution reduce merchandise cost by allowing the Company to minimize purchases from wholesalers and distributors and to take advantage of volume buying opportunities and forward purchases of merchandise. Centralized purchasing and distribution promote a consistent merchandising strategy throughout the Companys supermarkets. Rapid inventory turnover at the warehouse permits the Companys stores to offer consistently fresh, high-quality products. Through frequent deliveries to the stores, the Company is able to reduce in-store stockroom space and increase square footage available for retail selling.
The Companys supermarket transportation function is performed through a wholly-owned subsidiary. Some products, principally bakery, dairy and beverage items, and snack foods are delivered directly to the supermarkets and convenience stores by distributors of national and regional brands.
Management Information Systems
All of the Companys supermarkets are equipped with electronic scanning checkout systems to minimize item pricing, provide more efficient and accurate checkout line operation, and provide product movement data for merchandising decisions and other purposes. The checkout systems are integrated with the Companys frequent shopper card program to provide customer specific data to facilitate individualized marketing programs. Point-of-sale electronic funds transfer and credit card systems are in place in the supermarkets. Through the use of a bank debit card, a customer can authorize the immediate transfer of funds from their account to the Company at the point of purchase. Village Pantry utilizes 100% scanning at the front-end.
The Company utilizes in-store micro-computers in the supermarkets to automate various tasks, such as electronic messaging, processing the receiving and billing of vendor direct-store-delivered (DSD) merchandise, processing of video rentals, processing pharmacy records in the 42 food and drug combination stores, and time keeping for payroll processing. The Company employs a wide area network for data communications between the corporate office, supermarkets, and warehouses. Future supermarket applications currently under development include computer-assisted reordering. All convenience stores are equipped with micro-computers for electronic transmission of accounting and merchandising data to headquarters, electronic messaging and processing DSD merchandise receiving and billing.
Since 1998, the Company has broadcast live video communications by satellite to its supermarkets from the corporate office. The Company believes this medium has greater appeal to a generation of employees accustomed to learning from television. In addition, the immediacy of live broadcasts reduces the barriers of time, distance and consistency in communicating competitive strategies and other information to retail operations. These communications are further enhanced through a toll free telephone line which permits
5
questions to be asked and answered during each broadcast. The network is currently used for merchandising, training and employee benefits communications.
6
Competition
The retail food industry is highly competitive. Marsh believes competitive factors include quality perishable products, service, price, location, product variety, physical layout and design of store interior, ease of ingress and egress to the store and minimal out-of-stock conditions. Marsh endeavors to concentrate its efforts on these factors with special emphasis on maintaining high quality store conditions, high quality perishable products, expanded service and specialty departments, and competitive pricing.
The Company believes it is one of the largest supermarket chains operating in its market area. The Companys supermarkets are subject to competition from local, regional and national supermarket chains, independent supermarkets, and other retail formats, such as discount stores and wholesale clubs. The number of competitors and degree of competition experienced by the Companys supermarkets vary by store location. The principal supermarket chain competitors are The Kroger Co., Meijer, Inc., and Wal-Mart supercenters.
The Company believes Village Pantry is one of the largest convenience store chains in its market area. Major competitors are petroleum marketing companies which have converted or expanded gasoline locations to include convenience food operations. National convenience store chains do not have a significant presence in the Companys marketing area. The Company believes the principal competitive factor for convenience stores is location, and it actively pursues the acquisition of attractive sites for replacing existing stores and future development of new stores.
Seasonality
Marshs supermarket sales are subject to some seasonal fluctuation, as are other retail food chains. Traditionally, higher sales occur during the third fiscal quarter holiday season, and lower sales occur in the warm weather months of the second fiscal quarter. Convenience store sales traditionally peak in the summer months.
Employees
The Company has approximately 14,300 employees. Approximately 8,700 employees are employed on a part-time basis. All employees are non-union, except approximately 120 fleet drivers and 200 supermarket distribution facility employees who are unionized under collective bargaining agreements with terms that extend to April 2005. The Company considers its employee relations to be very good.
Regulatory Matters
As a retailer of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and gasoline, the Company is subject to federal and state statutes, ordinances and regulations concerning the storage and sale of these products. The Company is aware of the existence of petroleum contamination at 21 Village Pantry locations and at one distribution center, all located in Indiana, and has commenced remediation at each of these sites. The cost of remediation varies significantly depending on the extent, source and location of the contamination, geological and hydrological conditions and other factors. An Indiana excess liability fund has reimbursed the Company for more than 95% of remediation costs incurred over the past three years, and it is expected that the fund will continue to reimburse for future costs.
