Over the decades, Metro has transformed into a premiere homegrown retailer from Cebu. Much more than the capital that started the business, the core values set forth by its patriarch serve as the foundation of the business.

A nationwide expansion consequently brought Metro to major key cities outside Cebu. Today, 55 Metro stores stand tall as it serves the needs of its customers through its three store formats – department store, supermarket, and hypermarket. As the leading retailer in the Visayas region, the company looks forward to celebrating its 38th anniversary this year with optimism despite the challenging times.
