Haggen Attempts $12M Asset Sale To Albertsons, Says More Stores Will Close

Stricken supermarket chain Haggen is attempting to sell $12.16 million in assets back to Albertsons and Safeway.

A proposed sale filed as part of Haggen's bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S. District Court of Delaware on Wednesday would hand over $3.57 million of the chain's inventory as well as $8.9 million in “records and goodwill." That includes prescription records, customer records, lists and medical profiles, as well as all other written or recorded information relating to pharmacies' operations.

This comes after a string of other major challenges for Haggen, which was recently slapped with a $41 million suit from Albertsons. Haggen later filed a $1 billion suit against the Albertsons, alleging the larger chain sabotaged the transition of stores.
