About the business

Metal Supermarkets sells small quantities of metal with no minimum order, cut to size, through more than 140 stores across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Customers choose from aluminum, steel, stainless, brass, bronze, copper and other metals in thousands of shapes and grades, in store or online, and stores offer light processing services. The company has operated for more than 40 years.

What owners do day to day

Owners run a brick-and-mortar metal store and manage, mentor and develop a small team.

Ideal owner

Metal Supermarkets looks for people who can manage a small team, enjoy building long-term customer relationships, lean toward sales and favor consistent execution over quick wins. Most franchisees come from other fields with no prior metal experience, including veterans, tradespeople and business leaders.
