Patrick Morin: The History
The Beginnings
Founded in 1960 by Patrick Morin and his wife Denise Benny, the company was established in Sainte-Marcelline-de-Kildare, in the Lanaudière region. Originally, it was a small lumber yard created from the acquisition of two sawmills and a hardware store.
Quickly, the company evolved into a true home improvement center. Thanks to its expertise and the quality of its service, Patrick Morin’s reputation grew and spread throughout the region.
A Growing Family Business
Over the years, seven of the couple’s nine children joined the business, actively contributing to its expansion. New branches opened, driven by the commitment of the second generation, and later the third.
This family involvement enabled Patrick Morin to become a key player in the construction and renovation retail industry in Quebec. Since its beginnings, the company has supported thousands of customers, consumers, self-builders, and contractors, in carrying out their projects.
A New Chapter
In February 2021, after more than 65 years under the leadership of the Morin family, the company continued its journey with Groupe Turcotte, owned by Louis Turcotte, as well as Home Hardware Stores Ltd. In March 2021, Daniel Lampron was appointed Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
This transition marked a strategic turning point, supported in particular by the opening of a new Patrick Morin store in Brossard and the acquisition of Bonhomme-By Town, a major construction materials company with four locations in Outaouais and Ontario.
A Promising Future
Today, Patrick Morin operates 26 locations and employs more than 2,000 people. The company continues its mission: to support its customers with quality products, expert advice, and outstanding customer service.
True to its roots, it relies on strong values: collaboration, commitment, adaptability, care, and service excellence, to guide every action.
More than 65 years after its founding, Patrick Morin remains a Quebec leader in construction and renovation, always looking toward the future and dedicated to offering the very best to its customers.
