01:30 PM EDT, 09/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Metro (MRU.TO) on Monday said operations at its frozen distribution center in Toronto have stopped since Friday, Sept.12 due to refrigeration issues.

The exact cause is still under investigation. It is also unclear when the distribution center will be back in operation.

The company has activated its contingency plan and confirms that all Metro and Food Basics stores are open and stocked to serve customers.

Implementation of the contingency plan will generate non-recurring costs in the fourth quarter ending Sept. 27, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Metro shares were last seen down $1.69 to $95.02 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
