Flagged to this thread.
Metropolitan Market (which is a chain, not just this one store) had some investment last year:

That wasn’t a sale, though. It was for an expansion plan. (Added: this related announcement in August did suggest that another company now has a “majority equity share.” http://www.theshelbyreport.com/2012/08/20/metropolitan-market-joins-good-food-holdings/#.UTbd2Os6W18 )
I won’t be able to contact anyone to rumor-check until tomorrow, but if you have any specifics, you are welcome to e-mail: editor@westseattleblog.com.
thanks
