Bringing a unique shopping experience to Orange County consumers, Industrial Metal Supply Co. — a full-line metals service center — is launching a new walk-in center in Irvine, with an interior design and operational flow created specifically to accommodate small-purchase customers and to make the buying process a pleasant experience.
This flagship store represents IMS's commitment to "metal made easy," encompassing 12,000 square feet of dedicated sales space, 18,000 square feet of warehouse space that will hold the company's expansive selection of metals, a new Will-Call express counter, as well as complementary product lines.
"We are committed to making metal shopping a fun and easy experience, offering the wide product choices of large home-improvement stores and the dedication and personal service of a specialty metal shop," said IMS General Manager Tim Denges. "With the broadest in-stock selection of metals and related supplies, IMS is unlike any other metal supplier in the U.S. — and this new location perfectly meets the unique needs of our Orange County customers."
The company's breadth of product and its ability to fill any size order — from one pound to 100,000 pounds — combined with personal guidance from onsite metal experts, make it easy for customers to walk in and get what they need. Shoppers can select from a broad range of specialty items, including decorative brass and stainless-steel railing systems, imported ornamental iron, textured sheet in copper, brass and stainless and several patterns of treadplate. In addition, the store stocks a large selection of metalworking tools and supplies, including patinas, how-to books and videos, and provides metal cut-to-size, which saves customers time and money.
"Our customers consistently tell us that the personal, responsive service IMS offers is unlike any other in the business, and it's what keeps them coming back," Denges said.
The new Irvine store is at 2481 Alton Parkway, Irvine, CA 92606, two blocks north of Jamboree. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.
