Our Business

our vison for metro 

METRO is a leading company in food wholesale and distribution. Together with our professional HoReCa and Trader customers, we want to become even more successful. We are convinced that we can trigger organic growth with our wholesale strategy. The market in our segment is big enough - in all countries where we are active. The time is ripe: competition is fragmented, the industry is growing and major social trends are in our favour. We are reaching the score: "sCore" is the name of our strategy.

Investing in future growth

Investments in digitalization, the multichannel approach and proximity to customers resulted in increased trust and customer retention. We have refined and expanded the combination of our store-based business and Food Service Distribution (FSD).

We now deliver from 625 stores and 76 dedicated depots. Rest assured that we will continue to grow and expand our network in the coming years.

Our METRO/MAKRO wholesale stores offer customers flexibility as well as a wide product selection. We are creating Europe’s largest online marketplace with METRO MARKETS, which focuses in particular on professional equipment for HoReCa customers. In the area of FSD, METRO maintains a strong presence with its METRO Delivery Service and the delivery companies Classic Fine Foods, Pro à Pro, Rungis Express, Aviludo and Pro a Pro Spain.
