## Story

Nashville, Tennessee – Metal Supermarkets is pleased to welcome Prakrut Bhavsar as the new owner of Metal Supermarkets’ store located at 429 Enos Reed Drive, Nashville, Tennessee.

Operating on Enos Drive since 2002, Metal Supermarkets Nashville was formally owned and operated by now retired franchisee Henry Niedzwecki, who helped position the store as the one- stop shop for local metal-buying professionals, businesses and hobbyists alike, offering speed, variety and convenience for Nashville.

Now, together with the award-winning staff and an eagerness to nurture new and established customer relations alike, Prakrut is ready to reinvigorate the store’s reputation amongst Nashville businesses and consumers.

“My background is in managing fast food restaurants, so I know it’s important to keep customers happy while promptly delivering orders,” said Prakrut. “And with data and analytics experience in multiple industries, I have a keen eye for finding the right solutions for customers. I’m excited to apply my years of experience to support Nashville.”

Metal Supermarkets provides solutions to customers’ metal needs in both the business-to-business and business-to- consumer categories. With a diverse product base and no-minimum order quantity, Metal Supermarkets has earned long-lasting relationships with customers by delivering a world-class customer service by offering 8,000 types, shapes and grades of metal, cut to exact specifications.

“We thank Henry for his years of service, and we look forward to continued success for Prakrut and his team as they work to meet Nashville’s metal needs,” said Stephen Schober, President and CEO of Metal Supermarkets. “Based on his years of management experience and keen interest in the franchise, we believe Prakrut possesses the business acumen and drive to continue the strong presence of Metal Supermarkets in Nashville. And we’ll be there to support him along the way.”
