A federal bankruptcy court on Tuesday approved the sale of 33 Haggen stores to Albertsons LLC, returning the units to the entity that sold them just under a year ago.

The court on Tuesday also approved the sale of four Haggen locations to Sprouts Farmers Market; four stores to Smart & Final; three stores to Tawa Inc.; and single stores to Yoke’s Market, Stater Bros. and Good Food Holdings.

The approved sales followed an auction earlier this month that netted 55 proposed sales that would raise more than $47 million.

The stores were offered by Haggen Inc., which acquired the units less than a year ago when they spun off as part of mandated divestitures in the Albertson-Safeway merger.

A spokeswoman for the FTC told the Wall Street Journal that the agency did not object to selling the stores back to Albertsons in cases where there wasn’t a competing bidder.

Haggen operated the stores under its banner until filing for bankruptcy in September.

The court approved separate purchase agreements for the following stores:
