Metro looks to home deliveries as it shifts its ecommerce strategy

• As more and more Canadians look to online shopping in 2020, Metro has updated its strategy to tap further into ecommerce orders
• Metro has announced it will spend roughly CA$15 million to open an online order-only store next year. This marks a large shift for the Montreal based reatiler, who until now had emphasised filling delivery orders at stores
• The 100,000 square-foot facility will take over the orders of several other stores when it opens next summer. Marc Giroux, Metro’s head of ecommerce said that ecommerce is an “evolving market in terms of customer demand, customer expectation and in terms of technology and business models”
