Metal Supermarkets

Metal Supermarkets, the world’s largest supplier of small-quantity metals, has 127 brick-and-mortar stores across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom with 8 franchise locations in development. Known for its speed and convenience, Metal Supermarkets sells a wide variety of metals including Aluminum, Hot-Rolled Steel, Cold-Rolled Steel, Stainless Steel, Alloy Steel, Galvanized Steel, Tool Steel, Brass, Bronze and Copper.

An Untapped Market

While conventional metal distributors have always focused on selling large quantities of specific metals or shapes, Metal Supermarkets broke the mold. We understood consumer frustration with the inability to purchase a variety of metals in smaller quantities, and used this knowledge as the foundation of our business.

Over 30 years later, Metal Supermarkets has pioneered the perfect business model to fulfill this niche in the metal distribution industry. With virtually no competition, over 60,000 loyal customers rely on Metal Supermarkets as a one-stop-shop for their small-quantity metal requirements.
