## Story

First opened in 2014, Stefan purchased Metal Supermarkets Boston (North) in 2020 which provides small-quantity metals to businesses and consumers, matched with outstanding customer service. Since then, Stefan has grown the business in each consecutive year, and is now happily doubling down on the Metal Supermarkets business with a second store.

“Focusing on providing fast and reliable service to Boston businesses has helped fuel our success in North Boston,” said Stefan Hristov. “I’m eager to bring that same experience to Worcester to help metal purchasers throughout the area find the metal they need, quickly and easily.”

“We look forward to opening our second location in the Bay State and are proud of Stefan’s success in Boston,” said Stephen Schober, President and CEO of Metal Supermarkets. “We continue to be impressed with his drive and commitment and are confident Stefan and his team can deliver even more exceptional Metal Supermarkets service to metal users in the Worcester area.”
