Haggen Grocery Corporate Office

Haggen Grocery, often referred to as simply “Haggen”, was founded in 1933 by Benet and Dorothy Haggen in downtown Bellingham, Washington. Haggen has since become one of the leading grocery chains in the Pacific North Western part of the U.S. The company operates stores in both Oregon and Washington states under the Haggen name, as well as under the TOP Food and Drug name. Haggen is Washington state’s 6th largest privately owned company. Haggen specializes in produce and foods from local or regional farmers and suppliers.

The company has experienced a rough road, lately, and was forced to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Haggen announced that they were closing or selling 29 of their locations to the Albertson’s chain of supermarkets in March of 2016. Albertson’s will purchase these stores for an estimated $106 million.

Haggen hopes to hold on to some of their core locations. The company plans to abandon their attempts to put locations in the South West and remain a presence in the Northwest part of the country.

In early 2020, a man who was stealing from or living in the rafters of an Auburn Haggen location was finally arrested after eluding police for weeks.

The company retains only 15 locations after the sale to Albertson’s, with all of the locations in Washington state.
