                 Report of Independent Auditors


Plan Administration Committee
Marsh Employees' Monthly Stock Investment Plan - 1977


We have audited the accompanying statements of financial
condition of Marsh Employees' Monthly Stock Investment Plan -
1977 as of January 14, 1993 and December 31, 1992, and the
related statements of income and changes in participants' equity
for the period ended January 14, 1993 and each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 1992.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Marsh Employees' Monthly Stock Investment Plan - 1977 at
January 14, 1993 and December 31, 1992, and the results of its
operations for the period ended January 14, 1993 and each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1993


1.   Significant Accounting Policies

Investment

Investment in Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. Common Stock was valued at
market value, which was the quoted closing market prices of the
stock on the last day of trading of the Plan year.  The
difference between cost and market value was reflected in the
statements of income and changes in participants' equity as
unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment in Marsh
Supermarkets, Inc. Common Stock.

Investment Income

Dividends on Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. Common Stock were recorded
as income on the dividend record date.

2.   Termination of the Plan

The Plan was terminated effective as of December 31, 1992.  On
January 14, 1993, as directed by each participant, December 31,
1992 share balances were transferred to the Marsh Shareholder
Investment Plan (a dividend reinvestment plan available to
shareholders generally), or certificates were issued for whole
share interests.  Fractional share interests were redeemed in
cash.

3.   Description of the Plan

All non-union employees of Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. and certain
of its subsidiaries (the Company) who were 18 years or older were
eligible to participate in the Plan.  Participants could
contribute up to 20% of their base pay, to a maximum of $400 per
week ($200 per week prior to August 6, 1991).  The Company
matched 20% of participants' contributions and also made
additional contributions equal to the amount of dividends
credited to participants' accounts, net of income taxes. 
Monthly, shares of Common Stock of the Company were  credited to 
participants' accounts  based on  the average daily closing price
for the month, utilizing amounts accumulated in the account of a
participant for the month.  Share purchases were made through
broker-dealers, in private transactions or directly from the
Company.  (No purchases were made from the Company during the
period ended January 14, 1993 or the two years ended December 31,
1992.)  All administrative expenses of the Plan were paid by the
Company.

          Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


3.   Description of the Plan (continued)

The Plan was not intended to be a "qualified plan" under the
Internal Revenue Code; however the Plan was not subject to
federal income tax as participants' contributions were made in
"after tax" dollars and accordingly, the Company's contributions
and any dividends represented taxable income to the participants.

Participants could withdraw at any time.  Upon withdrawal, share
certificates were issued or at the participants' request, the
Plan acquired the share interest for cash, based on the average
daily closing price for the month of withdrawal.

The Plan Administration Committee determined whether the
contributions and cash dividends under the Plan were invested in
Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or any combination
thereof.  During 1991, only Class A shares were credited to the
accounts of participants.  Effective January 1, 1992, both Class
A and Class B shares were acquired, in approximately equal
amounts (Note 4).  Participants were immediately vested in all
participant and Company contributions made to the Plan.

4.   Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. Common Stock

As of May 15, 1991, the Company effected a recapitalization which
resulted in the following:

1.      One-for-two reverse split of existing Common Stock;
2.      Redesignation of existing Common Stock as Class A Common
        Stock; and
3.      Dividend of one share of new Class B Common Stock for
        each share of Class A Common Stock.

Except that Class A had one vote per share and Class B was
non-voting, each Class had substantially identical rights,
including equal dividend rights.

5.     Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) of Investment in
       Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. Common Stock

To the extent there were more shares credited to participants'
accounts than were actually held by the Plan, the Company was
obligated to provide funds sufficient to acquire the required
number of shares.  Accordingly, the following amounts are based
on the number of shares credited to participants' accounts:
