OPENING CEREMONY OF THE REMODELED ATRIUM AT ONE METRO CAMPUS
We are delighted to celebrate the official opening of the newly designed atrium at the Metro Campus in Düsseldorf, Germany!
Located at the intersection of Düsseldorf's Flingern, Düsseltal, and Grafenberg districts, Metro Campus is set to become a new mixed-use urban quarter.
The atrium is being opened to the public as part of the extensive renovation work of the existing Metro buildings on the site. The repurposed ground-floor space, located directly in front of Metro's headquarters, has been handed over to ambitious restaurateurs as the first step in creating a culinary destination. METRO AG joined forces with Thomas Bühner of ‘LA VIE’, which was awarded a Michelin star in record time after just a few weeks; top chef and president of Bocuse d'Or Germany Patrik Jaroš from the newly opened '485 Grad' and the Buchmann brothers from ‘Casita Mexicana’, who are opening a young Mexican concept in the third new restaurant space.
A total of seven new restaurants are expected to open on the Metro Campus by the end of 2026, reflecting the diversity of the industry: from high-calibre Michelin-starred cuisine to neighbourhood restaurants and a forward-looking casual dining experience.
"At the campus, we want to bring to life who we are and how we want to be: pragmatic, focused on our core business and in open dialogue with people – whether they are employees, business partners or customers. With the new catering facilities in the atrium, we are symbolically and literally bringing gastronomy, as our core customer group, into the heart of our business. This is a strong sign of our commitment to the industry and strengthens METRO's identity internally and our modern employer profile externally."
Dr Steffen Greubel, CEO of METRO AG
"The new METRO Campus is a win for Düsseldorf. It shows how modern business locations are being reimagined today – open, lively and with a clear commitment to the urban community. The new and varied gastronomic concepts are a real added value for the neighbouring districts and a strong signal for the future of gastronomy in our city."
Dr Stephan Keller, City Mayor of Düsseldorf
