Haggen Finds Buyers for 36 Stores

Two California supermarket chains have entered tentative deals to buy 36 Haggen stores in California and Nevada for a combined $92 million as the struggling grocer draws the final curtain on its Southwest operations. Haggen is also trying to stir up bids for an additional 96 stores — including six in Washington and Oregon that Haggen had previously said would remain part of its 37-store Pacific Northwest core.
