Troubled grocery chain Haggen will leave open its store in Oak Harbor, to judge by documents it filed Thursday in bankruptcy court.

The Bellingham-based firm, which filed for Chapter 11 protection earlier this month, submitted to the Delaware bankruptcy court a list of 100 stores it wants to close, including 14 in Washington but the vast majority in California. Others are in Arizona and Nevada.

The chain is hastily retreating from a too-rapid expansion after snapping up more Albertsons and Safeway stores than it was able to digest.

“Haggen intends to rebuild its operation around a core group of successful stores made up of 37 stores in the Pacific Northwest,” the chain said Thursday in a prepared release.

Those 37 consist of 16 stores Haggen has owned for some time, plus 21 former Albertsons or Safeways it bought earlier this year.

The Washington stores set to close are located in Aberdeen, Bremerton, Burien, Everett, Gig Harbor, Liberty Lake, Milton, Monroe, Port Orchard, Renton (two stores), Shoreline, Silverdale and Tacoma.

Oak Harbor Haggen store manager Sherrie Sadigh yesterday declined to comment on the news, citing company policy.
