The new and very modern at the time store with many innovations like computer systems at tills, electronic stock control and ordering system- the first in the Middle East- and upgraded equipment in all departments, became the stepping stone of our country’s supermarket development. Throughout the years our course was marked by continuous upgrading with main focus on customer service, the development of a friendly human environment, the quality check on products and competing prices. To accomplish this, we leaned on our human resources of which we feel great pride as well as on the very good and honest relationships we built with our suppliers and the rest of our associates.

Installation of latest technology, modernisation of building facilities and equipment and constant training are the keys of our whole effort. Our vision is: To be established as a supermarket chain that is characterised by quality, variety, excellent service and competing prices. To offer our customers a friendly, pleasant environment where shopping is pleasure. To respect our customers and to always apply “AT METRO PEOPLE COUNT ABOVE ALL” To maintain excellent cooperation with all our suppliers and associates.
