Metro Retail Stores Group Inc. (stylized as METRO Retail Stores Group Inc., shortly known as Metro Retail or Metro) is a retail company based in Mandaue, Cebu, Philippines.

History

In 1949, Modesta Gaisano, together with her five sons - David, Stephen, Henry, Victor and John - established White Gold Department Store. After the death of Doña Modesta in 1981, her sons pursued their respective business interests by operating their respective Gaisano retail operations.[3]

The Metro Retail Stores Group began in 1982 when the Metro Gaisano Department Store and Supermarket was established by Victor Gaisano and his wife, Sally, together with their children, Margaret, Jack, Edward and Frank. The group expanded to major cities outside Cebu by opening stores in key cities in Central, Western and Eastern Visayas, as well as in Central Luzon, Metro Manila and South Luzon.

The company's expansion in Metro Manila, in particular, was marked by the opening of the Market! Market! mall in the early 2000s.[1]

Metro made its debut at the Philippine Stock Exchange in November 25, 2015.[4]
