What Franchisees Say:
“I bought into the franchise rather than open my own business because I did not have the skills or knowledge to open this particular type of business on my own. I started with no prior metal experience and have been able to grow past $1 million a year with the promise to grow even further. Metal Supermarkets has provided me with the tools to see this happen.”– Teresa Starnes, Fort Wayne, IN
“Having started and ran a business on my own in the past, I found value in being in business for yourself, but not alone. Piggybacking on the 25-plus years of experience that Metal Supermarkets possesses has allowed me to hit the ground running.”– Chris O’Neil, Ottawa, ON
“Metal Supermarkets is a good business, and more importantly a growing business. I just think increased brand awareness is the key.”– Mitch Warner, Charlotte, NC, and Greer, SC
