𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗠𝗙𝗖 Our multichannel strategy aims to align the stores even more closely with the needs of professional customers from the HoReCa sector. The core element here is the efficient combination of in-store sales areas with an extended delivery service. As a result, the #stores can be used not only as 1️⃣ sales locations, but also as 2️⃣ efficient warehouses and 3️⃣ delivery platforms. Just last week, METRO Italia opened a new multichannel fulfilment centre (MFC) in Olbia in northern Sardinia. With the opening of the new location, METRO Italy is expanding its strong position in Sardinia and complementing the existing locations in Cagliari and Sassari. In addition to a high #ownbrand assortment share of 26%, a special focus is also placed on #local products in Olbia. 95 local suppliers provide over 700 products from the areas of wine, cheese, cold cuts, fruits, vegetables and fish. 💡 Read in our update news what else is about to happen around our business in Italy soon 👇 (link in comments) #Multichannel #Growth #METROfact #Wholesale #MoreThanEver METRO/MAKRO

🍫 Cocoa is becoming a luxury? Rising prices demand creative solutions in gastronomy. Smart alternatives like fresh fruit with a touch of dark chocolate, house-made desserts with less cocoa, or switching to #ownbrands help keep desserts profitable and appealing. 🍓🍮 https://lnkd.in/eYnBW8GY 💡 Chocolate is one of the most popular sweets worldwide, especially in Germany. In comparison to other sweets such as fruit gums or liquorice, Germans consume the chocolate most frequently, with an annual per capita consumption of around 7.89 kilograms.
