About Metro and its banners

Metro, a Canadian company, has established itself as a leader in the food and pharmacy industries since 1947. Its success is due to the leadership and determination of its members and executives, who have pursued growth through mergers, acquisitions, and innovations. As a result, Metro has achieved a leading position in Canada's food and pharmaceutical industries.

Through its activities as a retailer, franchisor, distributor, and manufacturer, it operates or supplies a network of some 950 food stores under several banners including Metro, Metro Plus, Super C, and Food Basics, as well as some 650 pharmacies mainly under the Jean Coutu, Brunet, Metro Pharmacy and Drug Basics banners.

METRO Inc. acquired The Jean Coutu Group (PJC) Inc. in the Spring of 2018. The combination of these two major companies has created a $16 billion retail leader, ideally positioned to meet the growing needs of consumers in food, pharmacy, health, and beauty.
