PORT ANGELES — The only Haggen store on the North Olympic Peninsula will be auctioned on Feb. 5.
Bellingham-based grocer Haggen has gained approval to sell its remaining 33 stores in Washington and Oregon as part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection proceedings.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross signed the order Friday.
Darrel Chard, manager of the store at 114 E. Lauridsen Blvd., in Port Angeles, confirmed that the store will be sold at auction.
He had no information about plans for the some 65 employees of the store.
“We’re not closing, so I don’t know why any arrangements have to be made,” he said.
