Structube was founded in 1974 and specialized in tubular retail clothing racks. The name is a portmanteau of the French words for structural and tubular, "structures tubulaires".[5] It expanded its business into furniture in 1980 in downtown Montreal.[6] A 54000square feet distribution centre was built in 2006 and subsequently expanded to in 2013.[7]
The first store in Alberta was opened in September 2012, and in 2016, three locations were opened in British Columbia.[8] [9] In May 2015, Structube began offering its product line through an e-commerce website integrated with its conventional stores,[6] and in November 2015, expanded this to the United States.[10] Structube later abandoned the U.S. market in May 2019.
