All Under One Roof

The business concept of METRO Cash & Carry is specially tailored to the needs of commercial customers, such as small and medium-size retailers, restaurants, cafeterias, hotels and other service providers as well as institutions.

The Cash & Carry principle is that the customers themselves select the purchases from the wholesale store shelves, then pay and take the goods with them. The innovative METRO Cash & Carry concept of self-service wholesale was introduced to Germany more than 40 years ago by Professor Dr. Otto Beisheim: in 1964 he opened the first Cash & Carry wholesale outlet in the city of Mülheim, in the Ruhr area. Then as now, the Cash & Carry concept is characterized by outstanding depth and breadth of product range, a consistently customer-oriented approach as well as a favorable cost-benefit ratio.
