NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Infusing innovation into a legacy industry, Metal Supermarkets will serve as a refreshing customer-oriented disruptive force in metal distribution in Newport News.

The world’s largest supplier of small-quantity metals will open its newest location in Newport News, Virginia on February 21, instantly becoming the one-stop shop offering speed, variety and convenience for professionals and hobbyists alike. This Metal Supermarkets is the third store in the state of Virginia, offering 8,000 types, shapes and grades of metal, cut to each customer’s exact specifications.

Brandishing its signature, world class customer service, Metal Supermarkets Newport News will be the trusted metals supplier for local manufacturers, machinists, maintenance and repair, tool and die shops, hospitals, hotels, universities, schools, homeowners, artists, and hobbyists in the area. In addition, the location is a great option for military and government purchasers, as it is a certified small business equipped to provide documented DFARs materials and meet all military specs.

“After much success with my first two Metal Supermarket locations in Virginia, opening a third store was a natural decision,” said Rob Racine, owner of Metal Supermarkets Newport News, who also owns stores in Richmond and Norfolk. “The business is sustainable as the demand for metal is always there, whether it’s for a local manufacturer, maintenance manager, military purchasing agent, machinist or even a home hobbyist. I look forward to filling the need for metal in Newport News with top notch customer service.”

Each Metal Supermarkets location provides solutions to customers’ metal needs in the business-to-business, military/government, and business-to-consumer categories. With a diverse product base and a no-minimum order quantity, Metal Supermarkets looks forward to establishing long-lasting relationships with all of our customers.

“Our product is metal, but our passion has always been our customer service and providing businesses, homeowners and hobbyists with solutions to their metal needs,” said Stephen Schober, President & CEO of Metal Supermarkets. “Our team has been impressed with the drive and commitment that Rob has displayed with his two existing Virginia stores, and as he moves ahead to get his third Metal Supermarkets location off the ground as an essential business to serve the Newport News community.”

With locations across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, the Newport News opening comes amid a pivotal growth period for the international metal-supply business. Deemed an essential business, the supplier ensures each customer in Newport News will always be able to acquire what they need.
