Metro chain wants to strengthen the section "fruit & vegetables"

The Canadian company Metro, which operates over 200 supermarkets announces an increase, and plans to strengthen its section of fruits & vegetables.

For the period ended on September 25th, net income increased of 10.7% to reach 93.4 millions. The turnover totaled 2.56 billion. For the full year, net income totaled 391.8 million, up 10.6% from last year.

 
Dissatisfied with the image that customers have of the fruit and vegetables section from supermarkets, Metro wants to improve the situation.

 
Metro is setting up a "project team" that must find better ways to present fruit and vegetables in stores,to increase supply and drive sales.

 
Metro also plans to invest 225 million in renovation, expansion and construction of supermarkets, mostly in Quebec.
