Haggen Auction Pushed Back to Feb. 22

Haggen has pushed back the auction of its remaining cores stores, to Feb. 22.

The auction, which was rescheduled from its original date of Feb. 5, was slated for Thursday, Feb. 11 at 9 a.m. EST in the New York offices of law firm Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, according to court filings. At press time, Haggen was unavailable for comment.

The now defunct grocer filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy last fall, after failing to gain its footing in the wake of the 146-store acquisition it made from the Safeway-Albertsons merger. The Bellingham, Wash.-based retailer exited the Pacific Southwest in late September to focus on its core stores, and on Nov. 10 unveiled plans to sell off the remainder of its locations.
