Metro Greece

Metro S.A. is a prominent Greek supermarket chain headquartered in the Metamorfosi suburb of Athens, Greece. Established in 1976 as a partnership of eight independent grocery stores, the company opened its first self-branded supermarket in Athens during the same year.

Metro S.A. operates a diverse network of stores across Greece, focusing on food, household products, and consumer goods distribution. As of 2015, it managed 108 stores nationwide, positioning it as the sixth largest supermarket chain in the country by market share.

The company's portfolio includes two primary store formats tailored to different customer needs:

• My Market: 62 smaller supermarkets, typically sized between 1,000 and 2,000 m², offering everyday groceries, fresh produce, dairy, beverages, and beauty products for retail consumers.
• Metro Cash & Carry: 46 larger outlets exceeding 2,000 m², designed for professional buyers such as small retailers, caterers, and hospitality businesses, with bulk purchasing options in food, drinks, household essentials, and personal care items.

Metro emphasizes quality trading and distribution of food and household products, making it an attractive partner for manufacturers and suppliers in the FMCG sector[4]. Its stores cater to a broad customer base, supporting both retail shopping and wholesale needs with a strong presence in supermarkets and cash-and-carry models.

Located at 1 Sorou Street, Metamorfosi, 144 52, the company maintains a central role in Greece's retail landscape, contributing to local commerce through efficient supply chains and varied product assortments.
