Tesco is undertaking a major overhaul of 147 stores across the UK.
The summer shake-up will see the supermarket giant re-brand its Metro stores "to better reflect" the current shopping habits of the nation.
It means Tesco Metro stores will instead be turned into either Express or Superstores.
The news comes two years after the chain launched a restructuring of Metro stores to reflect the fact that many customers were using Metro stores for their convenience shop.
Stores will receive new fascias over the coming months but will continue to trade normally throughout.
The re-branding will take place over the coming months with 89 Metro stores re-branding as Tesco Express and the remaining 58 Metro stores will be turned into Tesco Superstores.
Metro stores in Wales include Albany Road and Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff.
A Tesco spokesperson told WalesOnline: "Over the last few years, we have seen our customers' shopping habits change and we have taken the decision to re-brand all of our Metro stores to better reflect this.
"Our Metro format was originally designed for larger, weekly shops, but today nearly 70% of customers use them as convenience stores, buying food for that day.
"To ensure our offer continues to serve the needs of our customers, 89 of our Metro stores will re-brand as Tesco Express.
"The remaining 58 Metro stores will have their Metro signage removed and be referred to as Tesco Superstores."
