RONA expands its network
RONA inc., which operates and services approximately 425 corporate and affiliated dealer stores, has welcomed the Coopérative de Saint-Quentin hardware store, located in New Brunswick, to its network of affiliated dealers. The store had been operating under the Home Hardware banner until this shift.
According to the store’s owners, RONA says, one of the main reasons for this change was the desire to improve their assortment of products and services for local construction and home improvement professionals.
“La Coopérative de Saint-Quentin has been part of the community for over 85 years. With a hardware store and a grocery store under the same roof, our goal is to offer the best services in the region. We saw that there was a demand, so we banded together to meet that demand,” said Michelle Dubé, General Manager of La Coopérative de Saint-Quentin. “Today, in the hopes of better serving our community and its growing needs for building and renovation services, we have decided to join the RONA network and enhance our offering to local entrepreneurs and DIYers.”
With an area covering 12,000 square feet, a vast indoor yard for lumber and building materials, and a large outdoor lumberyard, the store already has many features that cater to the region’s pro customers. RONA says in coming weeks the store will have an upgraded selection of lumber, building materials, paint and seasonal products. In addition, a new Pro desk will be added in the spring.
“The team at La Coopérative de Saint-Quentin truly cares about its community and is aligned with RONA’s mission, which is to help communities build homes and dreams. We are thrilled to welcome them to RONA’s network of affiliated dealers and to support them in their future projects, aiming to ensure the growth and longevity of this historic place,” added Alain Ménard, Senior Vice-President, RONA Affiliated Dealers, RONA inc.
