Metro Ontario expands ready-to-eat meal delivery

Following a pilot project that launched at an Etobicoke store last February, Metro Ontario is expanding its partnership with food delivery app SkipTheDishes to include six additional locations.

Customers can now order individual and family sized ready-to-eat meals, as well as lunchtime sandwich and salad combos for delivery from select Metro Ontario locations in Burlington, Etobicoke and Toronto.

“By utilizing SkipTheDishes’ network of professional couriers, it will allow Metro to focus on preparing the fresh, quality meals that our customers have come to know and expect, while expanding our online and delivery presence,” said Andre Gagne, vice-president, fresh merchandising, Metro, in a press release.

It's partnership with SkipTheDishes isn't the only way Metro is offering convenient meal solutions online. Last year the Montreal-based grocer acquired ready-to-cook meal delivery subscription service MissFresh.
