Loic started in the BBQ world at Matériaux Lavoie in Lévis in 2014.

This company, owned by the parents of our founders, Max and JP Lavoie, is part of his childhood; it was the hardware store in his neighborhood.

All the renovations in his parents' house were done with tools and materials from Matériaux Lavoie.

In 2014, BBQ Québec was going to open its first store in Ste-Foy, Matériaux Lavoie was therefore going to lose its advisors for the seasonal products area and the BBQ area.

So Loic and his friends started working for them since they were looking for a job.

This job developed a passion in him; a passion for cooking and a passion for grilling. He was able to develop his skills by perfecting the sale of outdoor kitchens which requires more technical skills.

He went to train as a carpenter to be able to read and assemble plans, and thus better advise clients on their outdoor kitchen projects.

In 2018, he moved to the greater Montreal metropolitan area and joined the Boucherville store where he shares his passion for grilling with his colleagues and customers.

It continues to be THE reference for outdoor kitchens at BBQ Québec!
