Are You a Good Fit for Metal Supermarkets International?
Although “metals” as a background is helpful, it is not a necessity in undertaking a franchise. Many of our successful franchisees have not been from the “metals” business. If you have a strong sales and/or business background, and a willingness to learn, we can train you on the “metals” portion of the business.
In order to undertake a Metal Supermarkets® franchise, and to qualify, you will need to invest approximately $125,000.00 of your own capital.
