“After 12 years as the Chairman of Aurora Grocery Group, I’m very proud to pass the baton to our new Chairman, my brother, Franky Jorge.

“I’m very excited about the growth that we will see under Franky’s leadership and look forward to continuing to serve on the Board of Directors and as an AGG member,” Jorge added.
