Metro Retail Stores Group Inc. on Thursday said that it was optimistic about growth opportunities in the Visayas region with the company having embarked on projects in Leyte, Samar and Negros Occidental.
“We are excited to bring modern retail services to communities that have long been underserved,” Metro Retail President and Chief Operating Officer Manuel Alberto said in a statement.
Metro Retail, through a joint venture agreement with the provincial government of Samar, is developing a project in Catbalogan that is expected to boost retail access, community development, and regional infrastructure.
