A federal bankruptcy court cleared the way for Haggen supermarket chain to sell 47 of its stores. 33 of these stores, which had been formerly owned by Albertsons LLC, and sold to Haggens less than a month ago, will actually be returned to Albertsons.

The court approved 47 purchase agreements for 25 locations in Southern California, as well as four stores in Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Washington. That means that eight of the 55 stores that went up for bidding in the three-day auction aimed to raise $47 million, held earlier this month, are still awaiting court approval.

Most stores were sold to Albertsons, which plans to turn them into Albertsons or Safeway markets within the next 30 days.

The court approved the sale of four Haggen stores to Sprouts Farmers Market; four stores to Smart & Final; three stores to Tawa Inc.; and individual stores to Yoke’s Market, Stater Brothers and Good Food Holdings.

The stores were offered up by Haggen Inc., which acquired units less than a year ago, when it was spun off as part of compulsory divestments in the Albertson-Safeway merger.

A spokesman for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said the agency did not object to the sale of new stores to Albertsons in cases where there was not a competing bidder.

Haggen stores operated under its own name until declaring bankruptcy in September.

The next important step in this chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding is the proposed sale of 32 central Haggen stores. A hearing to discuss this potential auction is scheduled for Friday, December 4th. If the auction of central stores receives approval, it will take place on January 8.
