Albertsons has agreed to buy back the prescription records and customer base of 13 of the in-store pharmacies Haggen is closing, according to court filings.

The deal would put some $9.4 million in Haggen’s pockets, not counting the $3.6 million Albertsons is expected to pay for inventory. The idea is to transfer the business of those pharmacies, in various California, Arizona and Oregon locations, to nearby Albertsons stores.

Haggen, which is in bankruptcy reorganization, requested court approval to complete the deal by Oct. 15.
