On the occasion of the “Own Business Day,” METRO will be presenting the results of a representative study reflecting the mood in independent businesses for the third time since 2017. It shows how important these local businesses are for many consumers in order to maintain their own way of life.
To gain further insights into the experiences of business owners and how the public views independent businesses, METRO has commissioned the Own Business Study, a representative study encompassing 10,000 respondents across ten countries.
Own Business Day celebrates business owners by advertising them on an online platform with their special ideas & offers. On 8th October everybody can enjoy thousands of specials and pay tribute to the business owners that allow all of us to keep our own way of life.
