Wholesale business giant Metro Wholesale is looking to enter smaller cities in the State with smaller stores and is looking for partners for the purpose, Managing Director and CEO of Metro Cash & Carry India Arvind Mediratta has said.
Speaking to presspersons after the launch of the eighth Metro Store, the 31st in the country, he said that while the Hubballi store is a bigger one spread over 34,000 sq ft, the company is looking to set up smaller stores of 20,000 sq ft, just like it has done in Tumakuru.
Mr. Mediratta said that each one of the Metro stores will generate direct and indirect employment for 500 people. And, 99% of the products that Metro sells are Made In India.
