About the company
METRO AEBE runs grocery stores for household shoppers and cash-and-carry outlets for retailers, hospitality operators, and other professional buyers. Its Greek retail business operates under the My market and My market Local banners, while METRO Cash & Carry sells food, beverages, and everyday supplies to professional customers; some neighborhood locations are franchised. These formats pair direct consumer sales with larger product orders for businesses, including stock for resale and food-service operations. A Cyprus subsidiary, BEST VALUE for Professionals, extends the wholesale channel to resellers and hospitality businesses outside Greece. METRO AEBE was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in Metamorfosi, Attica.
