Metro Cash & Carry last week celebrated the grand opening of its 12th cash and carry wholesale centre in Vietnam.

Metro is tapping into Vietnam’s growing consumer class

Metro Cash & Carry Binh Duong is located in the south eastern Binh Duong province’s Thu Dau Mot town.

Hotels, restaurants, caterers, service companies and offices are the key targeted customer groups of the 20,000 square metre Metro Cash & Carry Binh Duong. The new centre’s wholesale operations create 400 new jobs and will add further success to the province’s economy.

“Metro’s opening of a new B2B (business to business) centre in the highly developed industrial Binh Duong province proves Metro’s strong commitment to serving the business community,” said Randy Guttery, managing director of Metro Cash & Carry Vietnam.

The centre has a total sales area of 5,600 square metres and will sell more than 25,000 food and non-food items. Metro Binh Duong is open seven days a week, and from 6:00am to 9:00pm everyday.

Metro Cash & Carry opened its first cash and carry wholesale centre in Vietnam in 2002. Today the company is operating 12 wholesale centres in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Haiphong, Danang, Can Tho, Bien Hoa-Dong Nai, Long Xuyen-An Giang, Quy Nhon-Binh Dinh, and Binh Duong and two distribution platforms in Binh Duong and Lam Dong. One new wholesaler centre is under constructions in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province for opening shortly. Metro Cash & Carry is represented in 31 countries with around 670 self-service wholesale stores.
