## Story

“Metal Supermarkets is the perfect opportunity for me, both in terms of the business model and the ability to create a legacy for my family,” said Greg Gallman, who will be the owner of the second Metal Supermarkets location in South Carolina. “There’s certainly a need for the services Metal Supermarkets provides in the Charleston market, and I’m eager to own and operate a business with my family by my side.”

The deal with Gallman comes amid a pivotal growth phase for Metal Supermarkets. With locations open across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, the company is executing a strategic expansion plan to add 50 new locations during the next four years in targeted markets, including Austin, Boston, Detroit, Milwaukee, New York, Phoenix, Sacramento and San Antonio.

“Greg and his family are the perfect people to bring Metal Supermarkets to Charleston. His drive to ensure the store becomes an integral part of the community is very apparent,” said Stephen Schober, President and CEO of Metal Supermarkets. “There is a strong demand for our metal supplies in Charleston, and we’re confident that the Greg and the entire Gallman family will provide exceptional service to our customers.”
