NEW ORLEANS – Metal Supermarkets, a supplier of small-quantity metals, will open for business on Monday, April 12 at 5820 Plauche Street in Elmwood.
The store specializes in the sale and distribution of a wide range of metals – including aluminum, copper, brass and stainless steel – in a variety of shapes: bar, tube, angle, channel, sheet and plate. Target customers include manufacturers, machinists, maintenance and repair shops, tool and die shops, hospitals, hotels, universities, schools, homeowners, artists and hobbyists.
