Heritage Grocers Group Jobs

Heritage Grocers Group is a specialty ethnic food retailer headquartered in Ontario, California. Established in 2016, the company operates across six states — California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, and Texas — offering a diverse range of traditional and specialty grocery items to the communities it serves.

The company manages several well-known grocery chains, each catering to specific cultural preferences:

• Cardenas Markets: An authentically Hispanic grocery chain on the West Coast, providing a wide selection of Latin American produce, fresh meats, specialty cheeses, salsas, and prepared foods.
• El Rancho Supermercado: A family-oriented Hispanic grocery chain in Texas, dedicated to serving products and experiences valued by Hispanic families for generations.
• Tony’s Fresh Market: The largest independent ethnic grocery chain in Chicago, offering a diverse assortment of Italian and Hispanic products, including a robust meat department and extensive produce displays.
• Los Altos Ranch Market: A traditional Hispanic grocery chain based in California, managed by Cardenas Markets, providing authentic products reminiscent of traditional markets throughout Mexico and Latin America.

Heritage Grocers Group is committed to offering fresh-made specialty products that represent the authentic flavors of Central America, South America, and other regions. Their stores were among the first in the U.S. to bring various Hispanic specialty departments under one roof, creating a culturally inclusive shopping environment.

The company operates:

• 58 stores under the Cardenas Markets banner
• 29 stores under the El Rancho Supermercado banner
• 21 stores under the Tony’s Fresh Market banner
• 7 stores under the Los Altos Ranch Market banner

In addition to its retail operations, Heritage Grocers Group is actively involved in community initiatives. For instance, in April 2025, the company partnered with Olive Crest and the Child Abuse Stops Here Network to launch in-store fundraising campaigns aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect.
