O’Malia’s Food Markets opened in the first floor of the building three years later. Marsh purchased O’Malia in 2001. After six years, it rebranded the store as Marsh the Marketplace at Lockerbie. Unfortunately, the store closed in 2017. Today, it’s home to Needler’s Fresh Market. 

Marsh Supermarkets made waves around the midwest in 1966 when it entered the fast-growing convenience store segment.

I try to take a photo when I drive past one.
