The company said Monday that it has filed for bankruptcy and entered into purchase agreements with the supermarket chains Publix and Aldi for 11 of its closing stores. Lucky's Market plans to keep seven of its stores open in Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Florida, and Colorado.
Publix confirmed on Tuesday that it has offered to purchase five leased Lucky's Market stores in Florida.
