The new outlets, to be based in the east of the country, will take Metro CC’s store network in China to 42, a spokesperson told just-food today (10 July).


“China is one of the most important strategic markets for us,” the spokesperson said.


Metro generated around EUR1bn (US$1.39bn) in revenues in China last year. The spokesperson said the retailer was emphasising its record on quality and food safety as it competes with local, traditional, ‘wet’ markets.
