Independent dealer, J.P & F. Larochelle Inc. (Quincaillerie J.P & F. Larochelle) located in Dunham, Quebec has joined TIMBER MART for better buying power and the ability to maintain their entrepreneurial independence as they grow their business.
“Since the business opened in 1975, we’ve expanded our product categories to include army surplus products, hunting and fishing gear, hardware, horticultural and garden supplies – and will be adding building materials to our product offerings in the near future as well,” says Yvon Larochelle, co-owner of Quincaillerie J.P & F. Larochelle.
“With TIMBER MART, we look forward to benefitting from their buying power, vendor relationships, Spancan programs and most importantly, the freedom to maintain our independence,” says Sylvain Larochelle, co-owner of Quincaillerie J.P & F. Larochelle.
“Particularly useful towards J.P & F. Larochelle’s future growth, will also be our LBM distribution centre in St-Nicolas which will offer them weekly delivery of building materials when they expand their product assortment,” says Daniel Rioux, TIMBER MART’s regional director of member services in Quebec.
“We welcome Yvon and Sylvain to the group and look forward to supporting their business as it grows in the Brome-Missisquoi county to serve consumers and contractors soon as well,” says Alain Charbonneau, TIMBER MART’s national membership development manager in Quebec.
J.P & F. Larochelle was founded in 1975 by Jean Paul and Cécile Larochelle as an army surplus retail business. Today, Quincaillerie J.P & F. Larochelle sits on four acres of land which encompasses a retail store, two warehouses and a garden centre which offers their customers a wide range of not only army surplus products, but also hardware, hunting and fishing gear and garden supplies.
