Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. wants fast court approval to sell off the assets of some of its in-store pharmacies to Rite Aid Corp. for up to $8.1 million, Dow Jones Daily Bankruptcy Review reported today. A&P said in a Thursday court filing that Rite Aid has agreed to buy inventory and customer-prescription information from pharmacies at 12 stores that are closing. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain has approved the grocer's request for a hearing today on the matter.
