Grocery stores

Grocery metal — from a neighborhood remodel to a full-line store.

LoTec, Inc. has designed, fabricated, and installed structural and miscellaneous steel for over 30 years. Headquartered in Dallas, we deliver that work nationwide. Bonded and insured.

The specifications for a grocery store are typically the same: vestibule columns and beams, refrigeration-platform framing, lintels at CMU openings, lavatory and countertop supports, and angle reinforcement at fan or rooftop-unit openings.

Full-line stores and neighborhood remodels use that package. The contractor keeps the floor open. LoTec takes the metal that has to be set before the cases go in.
