Metro Retail Store Group, Inc. (MRSGI) has opened its first Metro Corner at Mandaini Bay Suites in Mandaue City, a store concept that aims to provide convenient access to goods for condominium residents and nearby workers.
“Metro Corner represents the next chapter of innovation for Metro Retail in serving our customers,” Joel Orens, president and chief operating officer of MRSGI, said in a statement Tuesday.
He said the new store format reflects the changing nature of shopping in urban communities – “compact and close, designed for convenience without losing the warmth and quality for which Metro is known.”
The new store features everyday essentials, artisan goods, organic products and international specialties in a modern layout that highlights fresh goods, friendly service and quick checkout.
Located on the ground floor of Tower 1, Mandani Bay Suites, Metro Corner serves residents, workers and property owners who want easy access to quality products within their community.
The company said the launch marks its first Metro Corner store within Mandaue Bay, a growing mixed-use community in Mandaue City with a growing residential and commercial population.
Mr. Orense said, “As more communities embrace urban living, we see an opportunity to reimagine convenience through well-designed, right-sized stores that bring essentials and lifestyle selection closer to home.” “Metro Corner allows us to serve residents more efficiently while maintaining the same quality, service and trust that defines the Metro brand.”
Metro Retail operates 79 stores in Luzon and Visayas, including Metro Supermarket, Metro Department Store, Super Metro Hypermarket, Metro Value Mart and Metro Home Improvement and Lifestyle formats.
