Metro Market

Ownership

Metro Market is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kroger Co., a Cincinnati-based national corporation. This is a large corporate chain with no local ownership.

Local Sourcing

Metro Market has worked to source some local produce including broccoli crowns from DeGroot Farms in Illinois and potatoes from Wisconsin under the Simple Truth label, but most inventory flows through Kroger's national supply chain, making sourcing a mixed situation.

Community Involvement

Metro Market appears in the Madison Chamber of Commerce directory but no evidence of significant community sponsorships or deep ties to local nonprofits/schools was found in search results. Community investment appears minimal.

Local Workforce

Employee reviews rate compensation and benefits at 2.7/5, with complaints about low pay and minimal annual raises of $0.30. Reviews also report understaffing and high stress, indicating poor labor practices overall.

Revenue Retention

As a Kroger subsidiary headquartered in Cincinnati, virtually all revenue flows to the corporate parent rather than remaining in Madison or Wisconsin communities.
