Brownlee's Metro is a full service supermarket located on Wilson Street in the Town of Perth. We are an independently owned franchise of Metro Ontario Inc.

Avis and Brent Brownlee are the owners of the Perth store and are extremely fortunate to have a long term management team of very experienced individuals who strive to provide the best products possible.

There has been a grocery store located at 50 Wilson Street in Perth since the 1960's. Originally owned by the Rubino family, who had run other grocery stores in Perth since the 1930's, the IGA Foodliner was purchased by Ron Bronwlee in 1978.

In 1980, a devasting fire leveled the building but by January of 1981, a new IGA was built on the existing site. The store was expanded on two occasions during the 1980's going from IGA to Loeb and eventually to Brownlee's Metro in 2009.

The Grocery department offers a wide selection of products including local items like Crerar's Honey, Perth Pepper & Pestle products and Golden Maples Maple Syrup. We carry a wide selection of Gluten Free & Diabetic products as well as environmently friendly cleaning products.

General Manager, Will Ireton spends most of his time overseeing the day to day operations of the thousands of products and many employees who make up the Grocery department. With over 40 years experience in the grocery business, all within this store, Will leads with a strong work ethic and extensive product knowledge.

Our Meat department sets us apart from all other stores in the region. The combination of excellent product, skilled butchering and great pricing are hard to beat.

The Meat Manager, Glenn Ireton, has an amazing 46 years experience in this store. The butchers, Pat Loftus, Jim Brown, Sharon Scanlon and Allen McDougall have an average of 25 years service. Service clerks Joyce Noonan with 30+ years and Gail Teal help keep the product coming fresh all day.
