Metro Inc. is a large grocery company with over 600 stores in Quebec and Ontario, serving more than 65,000 employees. Founded in 1947, it is the only major Canadian food distributor headquartered in Quebec. The stores are known for being very clean and offering fresh produce and baked goods, including freshly sliced and unsliced bread that is kept cool to maintain freshness. While prices are generally high, many customers find that sales sometimes make items cheaper than competitors like Costco. The store is well-organized, well-stocked, and focused on satisfying customers daily to build long-term loyalty. Some shoppers appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, especially mentioning positive experiences with floral arrangements for special events. However, reviews also mention that prices can be expensive, and some items, like salmon, are not scaled, which may be a surprise to some customers. Despite busy locations and quick sales on popular items, customers generally see Metro as a reliable grocery option, though some note that prices are high across the board and blame market conditions rather than the store itself.
