== History ==
Metal Supermarkets was established in 1985 as a single location in Mississauga, Ontario. Its founder, William “Bill” Mair, wanted to address the demand for small quantities of metal that large metal warehouses could not satisfy. Therefore, Metal Supermarkets adopted a business model based on cut-to-size metals with pick-up and delivery services.
Metal Supermarkets began franchising in 1987 as the company did not have enough funds at the time to finance an expansion. Due to the franchise’s success in Canada, stores were opened for the first time in the United Kingdom and in the United States in 1994 and 1995 respectively. In 2007, Metal Supermarkets acquired Metal Express, a metal distributor based in the United States.
Metal Supermarkets currently operates over 70 stores worldwide and also operates its own online store.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.franchise.org/Metal_Supermarkets_franchise.aspx )〕
