Metro Market

Ownership

Roundy's is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Kroger Co., located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Roundy's operates 149 retail grocery stores under the Metro Market banner in Wisconsin. This is a large corporate chain with no local ownership.

Local Sourcing

Pick 'n Save and Metro Market stores have worked to bring more local produce into their 105 stores across Wisconsin, with some local farm partnerships, but most of the supply chain still flows through Kroger's national corporate systems with Roundy's brand products made at the company's commissary in Kenosha supplying fresh and prepared food to 150 stores.

Community Involvement

Metro Market in Middleton presented local nonprofits with donations, with Middleton Outreach Ministry and Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy each receiving $2,500. The store has some community engagement programs, but involvement appears modest and corporate-directed rather than deeply embedded.

Local Workforce

Employee reviews are mixed: pay is good as employees are unionized, and Metro Market offers free short term disability insurance and a decent benefits package. However, Metro Market employees rate their compensation and benefits as 2.7 out of 5, and the store is constantly understaffed, leaving employees doing the work of multiple people.

Revenue Retention

Metro Market is owned by the Kroger Co., a publicly-traded corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Revenue flows almost entirely to a major national corporation, not to the local community.
