TIMBER MART Continues to Grow in Quebec with Fifth Quebec Dealer This Year

 

Quincaillerie J.D. Lafontaine is the fifth dealer in Quebec to join TIMBER MART this year alongside: RenoRun (Montreal), O. Coderre et Fils (St-Jacques and Crabtree), J.P. & F. Larochelle (Dunham) and Matériaux Audet (Saint-Marc-des-Carrières and Quebec City). Offering a wide selection of hardware and building materials, Quincaillerie J.D. Lafontaine joins TIMBER MART to gain better buying power in building materials and hardware as well as greater competitive advantage in their local market.

“With TIMBER MART, we’ll have access to highly competitive building material and Spancan hardware programs which will offer us greater competitive advantage and higher margins,” says Quincaillerie J.D. Lafontaine owner, Martin Lafontaine. “Being a part of a low-cost buying group especially in trying times like the ones we’re in now gives us peace of mind that we can weather the storm and come out of this situation as a profitable business.”

“In addition to adopting the TIMBER MART banner and benefiting from our marketing and buying programs, Quincaillerie J.D. Lafontaine will also appreciate access to our lumber and building material distribution centre in St-Nicolas for inventory fill-ins,” says Daniel Rioux, TIMBER MART’s regional director of member services for Quebec.

“We welcome Quincaillerie J.D. Lafontaine to our network of Quebec dealers and look forward to supporting their business as it grows amid these uncertain economic times,” says Alain Charbonneau, TIMBER MART’s national membership development manager in Quebec.

For over 41 years, Quincaillerie J.D. Lafontaine has been serving contractors and DIYers in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region with a wide selection of general hardware, seasonal products and building materials. Located on the St. Lawrence River in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Quebec, the business encompasses a 40,000 square-foot store and warehouse.
