METRO is a German wholesaler founded in 1964 that sells food and supplies to restaurants, hotels, caterers and independent traders through large cash-and-carry stores and a growing delivery business. Its customers are businesses rather than consumers, which makes it a very different operation from a supermarket: assortment, pack sizes, opening hours and credit terms are all built around a restaurant owner buying stock at six in the morning. Headquartered in Düsseldorf, it operates in more than thirty countries and has been shifting deliberately from store-based collection toward delivery and digital ordering for its professional customers.
