Rhine-Main-Neckar is the smallest of four regions that house Kaiser stores in Germany and the disposals mark Tengelmann’s latest move to reduce its presence in the country.

In 2007, Tengelmann agreed to cede control of Plus, its discount business in Germany, to larger rival Edeka.

A&P, Tengelmann’s US venture, has had a troubled few quarters and in January appointed a new CEO in a bid to breathe fresh life into the business.
