Metro Market

Ownership

Metro Market is owned by Roundy's, which has been a subsidiary of Kroger since December 2015. This represents a corporate chain structure with no local ownership.

Local Sourcing

While Metro Market mentions sourcing locally-grown produce seasonally and claims commitment to local sourcing, the stores are part of a large corporate chain relying primarily on national supply chains managed by Kroger. Limited evidence of significant regional supplier partnerships.

Community Involvement

Metro Market operates community donation programs, a Community Rewards fundraising program linked to organizations, and participates in RaiseRight partnerships. However, these are standardized corporate programs with limited depth of local community ties compared to truly independent local grocers.

Local Workforce

Employee reviews consistently cite low pay (averaging $11-12/hour for hourly staff), limited benefits for new hires, high turnover, poor management communication, and understaffing. Glassdoor ratings average 2.7-3.1/5 stars with mixed satisfaction.

Revenue Retention

As a Kroger subsidiary, profits and revenues flow to Cincinnati-based parent company rather than remaining in the Madison community. Distribution centers and sourcing are controlled by corporate headquarters.
