More Marsh grocery stores will close within two months unless the struggling company can find buyers or business partners, the locally based supermarket chain warned in a letter to state officials on Monday.

Marsh has identified 16 more stores for closure—including 11 in the Indianapolis metropolitan area—which would eliminate 1,454 full- and part-time jobs. The grocer said that figure was equivalent to 986 full-time jobs.

Two of the stores are located in the heart of downtown, which would leave the city's core without a grocery store as apartment developers prepare to open thousands of units in the area.
