Toronto, July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metro will be hosting Mini Metro Lunch Clubs in designated community parks across Ontario. Children aged 2 to 8 are invited to join the sessions with qualified childcare staff on site and partake in a diverse selection of activities tailored to their specific age group affording parents the opportunity for some additional alone time this summer.
"As a community grocer, Metro recognizes alone time is in short supply for parents, especially during the summer months" said Mathieu Robitaille, Head of Marketing, METRO Ontario Inc. “For parents, grocery shopping alone can be a treat, but many don’t have the opportunity. By hosting these sessions, we aim to take the stress out of shopping and provide some fun for the whole family.”
Once parents arrive at their local Mini Metro Lunch Club session, they will register their children on-site and receive an exclusive coupon that can be redeemed at select Metro locations.
