The Haggen name will remain at several of its stores sold to Albertsons, including the five in Whatcom County.
In a news release, the Bellingham-based grocer announced that 14 historic Haggen stores will continue to operate out of Bellingham under the Haggen banner, along with one converted location in Oak Harbor. The remaining 14 stores, which were previously divested by Albertsons, will transition over time back to the Albertsons name.
Haggen accepted Albertsons’ offer to buy the 29 core stores on Friday, March 11 for $106.1 million. It’s the latest step in Haggen’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.
