Metal Supermarkets Enjoys Significant Growth in First Half of 2021

Revenue growth

Over the past six months, the world leader in small-quantity metals has consistently achieved year-over-year monthly revenue growth, including seeing its all-time highest network sales in June, with an increase at nearly 37% over 2020 and 61% over 2019. In the United States - the network’s fastest growing market - Metal Supermarkets earned a 57% sales increase in June over last year while being 41% higher for the first six months. Additionally, the brand has opened six new stores in Deptford, New Jersey; Houston and Lewisville, Texas; New Orleans, Louisiana; Ottawa, Ontario; and San Jose, California.

“Metal Supermarkets fills an essential business niche, and our rapid growth proves the value in our offering,” said Stephen Schober, Metal Supermarkets President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our business has proven to be pandemic-resistant, as we grew sales during the first six months of 2020. In 2021, we have grown even faster withstanding the hardships of the previous year and enabling our franchise owners to build successful businesses by supporting customers every day.

Through relentless commitment to outstanding customer service, Metal Supermarkets will continue to forge its way into more markets across North America and the U.K.”
