Alexandria Welcomes Metal Supermarkets, The World’s Largest Supplier of Small Quantity Metals

Retail-based Metal Supplier Brings Speed, Variety and Convenience to Alexandria

Alexandria, Va. – Infusing innovation into a legacy industry, Metal Supermarkets arrives in Alexandria as a disruptive force.

The world’s largest supplier of small-quantity metals will open its newest location in Alexandria on Tuesday, September 6, instantly becoming the one-stop shop offering speed, variety and convenience for professionals and hobbyists alike. Metal Supermarkets stores specialize in the sales and distribution of all types and ranges of metal including hot and cold rolled, aluminum copper, brass and stainless in bars, tubes, angles, channel, sheet and plate to meet the needs of a wide and diverse variety of customers that require these essential products.

As the fourth location in Virginia, Metal Supermarkets Alexandria offers 8,000 types, shapes and grades of metal, cut to each customer’s exact specifications. Brandishing its signature world class customer service, Metal Supermarkets will be the trusted metals supplier for local manufacturers, machinists, maintenance and repair, tool and die shops, hospitals, hotels, universities, schools, homeowners, artists, hobbyists and more in Alexandria.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to open a second Metal Supermarkets location,” said Theresa Lora, owner of Metal Supermarkets Alexandria. “The pandemic made running our first Metal Supermarkets store in Beltsville, Maryland a little challenging, but we had a great staff that helped make things easier. Now, we have an incredible staff at the Alexandria location that will provide the same tremendous support to area businesses and the Alexandria community.”

Theresa Lora and her husband Marcus opened their first store in 2015. Prior to joining the Metal Supermarkets team, the couple owned two other businesses, but recognized the need for Metal Supermarkets in their community in Beltsville. Following the success of the Beltsville store, Theresa wanted to expand the presence, opening her second location in Alexandria.
