Metro to test online grocery service

MONTREAL — Metro customers in Quebec will be able to order groceries online later this year as Canada’s third-largest supermarket chain begins to test an ecommerce service. The Montreal-based company declined for competitive reasons to provide details, including locations and whether orders would be delivered to stores. But chief executive Eric La Fleche said he doesn’t believe Metro is at a disadvantage since demand for the service offered by rivals Loblaw and Sobeys is just starting.
