Metal Supermarkets Franchise Model Overview
Metal Supermarkets stores are 4,000 to 6,000 square foot industrial-park warehouses stocking bar, sheet, tube and plate in many alloys, cut to size on saws and shears and delivered by the store's own truck to maintenance departments, machine shops, contractors, welders, schools and hospitals that need small quantities fast. The Toronto-based franchisor dates to 1985 and is now controlled by Riverarch Equity Partners. The investment is mid-six figures, driven by processing equipment, a delivery truck, racking and a large opening inventory, plus working capital, in leased industrial space. Royalties step down from 6 to 3 percent as monthly sales rise, with a 2 percent brand fund and a required local advertising spend. An Operating Principal holding at least 10 percent must work the business full time alongside at least two employees. The system is small but growing, from 83 to 98 franchised stores over three fiscal years; transfers face a right of first refusal and remodel requirements.
