## Story

The supplier of small-quantity metals looks to Jones and his team to place speed, variety and convenience at the forefront for metal-seeking businesses and consumers. The new and invigorated ownership seeks lasting relationships with new and existing customers through a commitment to world-class customer service, and by providing customers any metal, any size, cut and ready fast.

Metal Supermarkets Fort Lauderdale offers 8,000 types, shapes and grades of metal, cut to each customer’s exact specifications. Metal Supermarkets is the trusted metals supplier for local manufacturers, machinists, maintenance and repair, tool and die shops, hospitals, hotels, universities, schools, homeowners, artists, hobbyists and more in Fort Lauderdale.

“Since we opened our West Palm Beach store, we have built meaningful connections with businesses and consumers in the community” said Jones, who also owns the Metal Supermarkets in West Palm Beach. “Our team is prepared and excited to serve even more customers at the Fort Lauderdale location, while continuing to prioritize the customer service standard we have set in West Palm Beach.”

With a background working in implantable medical devices, Jones has seen firsthand the underserved market of small quantity metals when he opened the West Palm Beach Metal Supermarkets in 2020. His entrepreneurial skill and passion for helping others has driven the location to success, fueling his desire to expand ownership with the Fort Lauderdale store. Jones brings with him a mindset that puts customer needs at the forefront to uphold Metal Supermarkets’ reputation and values.

“Chip has impressed us at the West Palm Beach location with his constant delivery of outstanding customer service,” said Stephen Schober, President & CEO of Metal Supermarkets. “We are looking forward to seeing him grow the Fort Lauderdale store, fostering relationships with even more local businesses and residents.”
