ALLAS, TX – June 8, 2015 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has closed the sale leaseback of two separate portfolios totaling 39 Haggen Food & Pharmacy grocery stores spanning Washington, Oregon and California.   Additionally, HFF arranged financing for 19 of the stores.  

HFF marketed the properties on behalf of Haggen Inc. (Haggen) and arranged the floating-rate financing for the 19 properties.  Haggen entered into long-term leases with the purchasers.

Haggen purchased 146 stores from Albertson’s as part of a $9.4 billion merger between Safeway Inc. and AB Acquisition LLC, the owner of Albertson’s LLC.  

This expansion grows the Haggen Food & Pharmacy portfolio from 18 stores in Washington and Oregon to 164 stores in five western states.  

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing directors Mark West, Timothy Hall and Bryan Ley, managing directors Brandon Chavoya and Coler Yoakam and real estate analysts Michael George and Campbell Black.

Founded in 1933, Haggen Inc. has long been one of the Pacific Northwest's leading grocery chains.  The Bellingham, Washington-based company has historically operated stores in Washington and Oregon under the Haggen Northwest Fresh banner, but will now be operating stores in California, Arizona and Nevada as well.
