Our vision 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).
Multichannel business model
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 like Classic Fine Foods, Pro à Pro, Rungis Express, Aviludo, JHB, GVS Group and Pro a Pro Spain.
Working environment
One METRO Campus - shaping our home of working
We are working on shaping the M ourselves – we are transforming our One METRO Campus into a large showroom where our employees as well as customers and guests can experience our products, services and partnership live.
The redesign – planned to be finished by 2027 – is being carried out with the aim of bringing us all together and showing our dedication to support local gastronomy and social life in the beautiful city of Düsseldorf. This will be achieved by creating a vibrant and diverse range of foodservice concepts using METRO products and services.
Modern Office Spaces
You want to work on your project or task more productively and still have a chance to chat with your colleagues? The great choice of office space allows you to select the best environment for your work. You can use one of our, meeting rooms, hubs, phone booths or if you feel like it, have a working coffee session at our Rioba coffee bar.
Attractive Gastro Concepts
Would you like to have the original pizza from Napoli for lunch and take a break at a famous coffee place afterwards? It will all be possible after our renovation of our ONE METRO Campus. At METRO we support restaurateurs and independent business owners in their valuable work of preparing, hosting and creating very special moments. You can experience exactly that!
Fitness and Health
Our Canteen already offers a variety of healthy food choices, including vegan and vegetarian options. Talking about health, are you also one of those who always wanted to try kickboxing? Or yoga? At our METRO Activity Center, you can immediately take part in a variety of sports courses at no cost and also use the gym for free.
Finding a good balance
While we are investing a lot into our new home of working, we are aware that everyone needs a good balance. At METRO, you have many different options for balancing your work and personal life.
What flexibility means can vary for each person - it could be the ability to work from home or taking parental leave for new mothers and fathers, among other things. We support you in your individual work schedule to give you space and valuable time for your personal life. Because we are convinced that people who like their work, live better. And vice versa.
