Fleming, which recently agreed to end its contract with its biggest customer Kmart, is to use the proceeds from the sale, US$82m in cash, to reduce debt.


Kmart, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002, accounted for around $3.3bn of Fleming’s $15.5m in 2002 sales.


Fleming plans to sell another 11 Food4Less stores to Save Mart and expects two of these sales to be completed this quarter, reported Dow Jones News Service.
