The divestment comes amid growing fears that immigration raids will weaken consumer demand among Latino communities across the US. Consequently, it has engaged investment bank UBS to maximize value from the sale.

Heritage Grocers Group generated $150 million in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, with over $2 billion in revenue. However, in recent months, the chain’s performance has come under pressure due to weak consumer spending. Additionally, rating agencies have downgraded the company’s credit rating due to soft consumer spending.
