Top Foods
It would appear that Top Foods has been phased out as a separate brandname? It would be useful if a (local) editor more familiar with whether that is the case or not could make the apparent phase-out of Top Foods more clear in the article text, especially in the article's lede. Thanks in advance. --IJBall (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

2015 Expansion Faltering

This whole area needs to be expanded to reflect Comvest failed strategy to flip Haggen, store closings and lawsuits against Alberstons/Cerberus Capital. It may go down as one of the worst corporate strategies ever. (IHMO it shows the negative side of lower carried interest rates for private equity managers but I have no way to prove that.) http://www.cerberuscapital.com/albertsons-safeway-complete-merger-transaction/ http://www.seattletimes.com/business/local-business/bellingham-based-haggen-growing-from-18-stores-to-164/ http://www.oregonlive.com/window-shop/index.ssf/2015/03/haggens_unprecendented_expansi.html http://www.oregonlive.com/window-shop/index.ssf/2015/07/albertsons_sues_haggen.html#incart_related_stories http://www.oregonlive.com/window-shop/index.ssf/2015/08/list_of_haggen_closures.html http://www.oregonlive.com/window-shop/index.ssf/2015/09/haggen_sues_albertsons.html#incart_most-read_window-shop_article

Ownership Side Bar
This should be changed to reflect that Comvest is the majority owner, not the Haggen Family. Comvest is responsible for the failed expansion strategy, and Haggen is no longer family owned. Nofway (talk) 14:35, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

 * agree with Conifer – go ahead and make whatever changes you see fit. As you seem to have sourcing for it, it shouldn't be a problem. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:53, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
