Over 700 local grocery stores have taken up the La Doi Pasi (Two Steps Away) franchise since Metro Cash&Carry launched it in March 2012, the company announced today.
The network is now present in all counties. The largest number of operational stores are in Constanta (47 stores), Brasov (42 stores), Bucharest (37 store) and Iasi (37 stores).
The La Doi Pasi franchise targets small independent retailers who alongside horeca units represent Metro Cash & Carry’s main clients. Retailers receive training and consultancy services from the company and are able to maintain their financial and operational independence while being part of a national network of stores at the same time.
Metro Cash & Carry Romania runs 32 stores locally, the first of which was opened in 1996.
