Hi everyone,
What is the name of the shop that sells texture and material for making clothes?
Thanks.​

A fabric store.
Here, we just call it "Jo-ann Fabrics." They are the biggest store in this market.

In the UK it used to be called a draper's (shop) or a drapery, but I think it's just called a fabric shop these days.

 

[Raymott]

Also haberdashery, haberdasher.

Also, mehdihas, you mean textiles - not texture.

In AmE, this is a shop that sells men's furnishings.

Interesting. We use it for places like this:
Tessuti Fabrics - Online Fabric Shop - Haberdashery

This gives a good summary of the various usages:
What is a Haberdashery?

Utterly irrelevant, but haberdashery is a really, really fun word to SAY. I wish it were more in vogue to use it.

haberdashery noun (MEN'S CLOTHES )

/ˌhæb.əˈdæʃ.ər.i/

/-ɚˈdæʃ.ɚ-/ n [C or U]

US old-fashioned clothing for men, or a shop or department in a large shop which sells this.

I'd like to ask two questions.

1. How do they call the person who owns the store (haberdashery)?
2. How do they call the person who own a fabric store?

Btw, a draper is one who own a drapery store.

Look below what the same dictionary says for the word draper.

draper noun

/ˈdreɪ.pər /

/-pɚ/ n [C] UK old-fashioned

someone who, in the past, owned a shop selling cloth, curtains, etc.

Does this mean he lost or closed the shop?

 

[corum]

UK old-fashioned

A men's clothing store owner. The owner of a men's clothing store. (Most of them are chains these days. My husband manages one. I think I'll refer to him as a haberdasher this evening.)

A fabric store owners. The owner of a fabric shop. (Again, the only one I could tell you about is a chain called Joanne's Fabric. I don't know of a single stand-alone, sole-owner fabric store these days.)
