OPS Steel Retail Store in Dewey, OK
While much of OPS Steel’s business is focused on supplying structural steel to a nationwide network of wholesalers and fabricators, our roots in retail run deep. For nearly 20 years, the OPS Steel Retail Store in Dewey, Oklahoma has proudly served local ranchers, builders, and hands-on DIY customers throughout Northeast Oklahoma and the surrounding region.
From pole barns and culvert pipe for pond drainage to gates, panels, and structural shapes for everyday projects, the Dewey store has become a trusted source for dependable steel products and knowledgeable service. Whether the job is large, small, or somewhere in between.
A People-First Culture, Built to Last
We recently sat down with Store Manager Justin James to talk about what has made leading the Dewey location so rewarding over the past several years.
“The daily interaction with our team members has been the most important and rewarding part of my job. Being part of a culture where employees come first—and watching them grow into new skills and roles—has been incredibly fulfilling. OPS leadership has allowed me to help build a culture where everyone feels supported and proud of the work they do.”
Justin also highlighted the customer experience as a core focus of the store’s evolution.
“Providing a modern, welcoming store and a friendly environment where customers feel comfortable asking questions and working through their goals—whether business-related or personal—is something I truly enjoy. Helping people succeed in their projects is a big part of why we’re here.”
Finally, he noted the pride that comes with long-term growth.
“Seeing how much the store has evolved over the last few years gives me a real sense of accomplishment. It’s rewarding to know we’re building something better for both our customers and our team.”
What Makes the OPS Steel Retail Store Different
According to Justin, what truly sets the OPS Steel store apart is its commitment to relationships.
“Here at OPS, we genuinely take the time to get to know our customers as people. We work to understand what they’re trying to accomplish and how we can consistently provide excellent service—whether it’s for a fabrication shop, a ranching operation, or a personal metal project.”
That relationship-first mindset is paired with a broad, practical product selection designed to support a wide range of needs.
