                         Report of Independent Auditors




Administrative Committee
Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. 401(k) Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits, with fund information, of the Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. 401(k) Plan as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits, with fund information, for the years then ended.
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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for  purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974, and
are not a required part of the financial statements.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits
of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1994


1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. 401(k) Plan (Plan)
provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Summary
Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

GENERAL

The Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. 401(k) Plan was established January 1, 1993 by
Marsh Supermarkets, Inc. (the Company) to provide retirement benefits for
participating eligible employees.  The Company's Retirement Committee,
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, serves as the Plan
Administrative Committee.  The trustee of the Plan is Society National Bank.

The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan covering all employees of
the Company who have met certain requirements for participation.  The Plan
provides for normal retirement at age 65, but includes a provision that allows
participants to elect to receive benefits prior to their normal retirement age.
The Plan also has provisions allowing for hardship withdrawals and loans.

CONTRIBUTIONS

The Plan provides for employees to contribute from one to 15 percent (up to the
IRS maximum) of their compensation on a pre-tax basis.  The Company contributes
an amount equal to 25 percent of employee before tax contributions (excluding
contributions in excess of six percent of compensation).  The Plan also
provides for an additional discretionary contribution determined by the Board
of Directors of the Company; however, no discretionary contributions were made
during 1994 or 1993.

ALLOCATIONS TO PARTICIPANTS

Income on the investments of the fund is allocated daily to participants
accounts based on their account balance.  Forfeited balances of terminated
participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce future Company
contributions.

Upon retirement or termination, a participant shall receive contributions made
to the Plan, the vested portion of the employer contributions and an allocable

2.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments are carried at fair value.  The fair value of investments in
securities traded on a national securities exchange is determined based on the
last reported sale on the last business day of the plan year as quoted in
business publications and by security brokers.  Dividends are recorded as
income on the dividend record date.

4.  TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service ruled on April 25, 1995 that the Plan qualifies as
defined by Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC); therefore, the
Plan is not subject to tax under present income tax law.  The Plan is required
to operate in conformity with the IRC and ERISA to maintain its qualification.
The Administrative Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of
events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified
status.

5.  PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate
the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
