PORTLAND, Maine — Whole Foods Market has agreed to sell a Wild Oats location here to Trader Joe's East, according to a filing by the Federal Trade Commission Wednesday seeking comment on the proposed divestiture.

The FTC previously mandated that Whole Foods sell 32 stores following the 2007 acquisition of Wild Oats to satisfy antitrust concerns.
