ONTARIO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cardenas Markets, the leading Hispanic supermarket chain in the country, announced today the acquisition of Los Altos Ranch Market, integrating seven operating Phoenix locations of Los Altos Ranch Market into the Cardenas operating system. Earlier this year, Cardenas Markets in Southern California, as well as Mi Pueblo in Northern California, joined forces in pursuit of their vision of becoming the #1 Hispanic grocer in the United States.
“Acquisitions and new strategic store locations are a key component of our growth strategy,” said John Gomez, President and CEO of Cardenas Markets. “We are fortunate to have identified Los Altos Ranch Market as a partner whose values and mission are aligned with our organization.
