KR Finalizes Agreement to sell 11 Cala-Bell Stores to DeLano

Great news for DeLano. What a catch these stores are. Store names won't change. KR will still own the Cala/Bell names though. I wonder why they want to retain ownership of the names.
The question mark in this is that 13 locations presently operate, but DeLano is only buying 11. Past reports showed that DeLano was buying all locations with the exception of Post Street (since closed) and San Carlos.
I am assuming San Carlos is still going to an un-officially-identified party (known as Foodville who runs a store down the street). Now I wonder what other store is not being sold to DeLano.
What a stupid move to sell these stores. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Especially as 4 or so ABS stores closed in the C-B trade area.
