Metro Inc.
The Project
Traugott has partnered with Metro Inc. to support their growth across Ontario by delivering grocery stores under the Metro and Food Basics banners. Each development was tailored to brand-specific standards and designed to reflect Metro’s commitment to operational excellence, community engagement, and consistent delivery.
The Conversation Pieces
Metro locations were constructed as full-service grocery environments, incorporating fresh food zones, customer amenities, and efficient back-of-house systems. Food Basics projects focused on value-engineered delivery with speed-to-market strategies and durable infrastructure that align with brand positioning.
The Challenges
Metro’s multi-banner development strategy required managing concurrent projects with differing scopes, timelines, and locations. Site conditions varied significantly, with challenges such as dense urban logistics, seasonal construction limitations, and evolving sustainability benchmarks.
