Mario Petit, president of Club Tissus descends from a family involved in the textile industry for many years. Honoré Petit et Fils ltée founded by grandfather Petit is administered today by Mr. Petit, father.

In 1986, Mario Petit and his wife, Linda Guérin, founded Tissus de Haut Richelieu enr., a retail company selling fabric in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

In 1988 the couple’s vision broadened. They separated from Tissus de Haut Richelieu enr. and founded Texlima inc., a company specializing in the wholesale of fabric.

In 1991, while maintaining its operations as a wholesaler, the Petit-Guérin team decided to open its first wholesale store in St-Hubert, their mission being to offer fabric and sewing accessories at competitive prices.

In 1994, Texlima inc. was further known as Distribution Club Tissus (1994) inc. It is within the same period that all administrative operations were moved within the same store in St-Hubert.

During the same year, other entrepreneurs witnessing the success of Club Tissus on the South Shore, solicit the owners to further investigate a franchise development project. Thus, between 1994 and 1995, three new branches were established in Laval, Québec and Sherbrooke.

In 1998, the Petit-Guérin team founded a management company under the name Gestion Texlima inc. This latter became the holding of all wholesale, retail and franchise operations.

Since 2000, with the growth of its administration team, the company continuously strives towards new projects of expansion and diversification.

The objective is simple: To make Club Tissus the leader in its industry in terms of quality goods, competitive price and excellent service.
