RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating and servicing some 425 corporate and affiliated stores, announces the conversion of 19 stores, including 16 Réno-Dépôt stores, to the new RONA+ banner this fall.
“These conversions represent an important investment in our network and will make RONA our only brand for retail customers across Canada,” says Andrew Iacobucci, President and CEO of RONA inc. He adds: “This is another important step towards delivering on our vision for the future of RONA, which is to become the best home improvement retailer in Canada.”
In addition to the conversion of Réno-Dépôt stores to the RONA+ banner, the company is announcing the deployment of a new pilot for its RONA big box stores. Three stores will be converted to the RONA+ banner: the RONA Home & Garden stores in Waterdown and Winnipeg, and the RONA l’Entrepôt store in Québec.
“The conversions that have been taking place over the past 12 months have had a tangible impact on store performance, and we are confident that this pilot at RONA Home & Garden stores and RONA l’Entrepôt will bring positive results that will pave the way for the expansion of RONA+ across the country,” mentions Mr. Iacobucci.
The conversion of the RONA Home & Garden Waterdown store has already begun and will be completed this summer, while RONA Home & Garden Winnipeg and RONA l’Entrepôt Québec will celebrate their reopening this fall, at the same time as the 16 Réno-Dépôt stores. With these conversions, the company hopes to create momentum and new opportunities to improve the way Canadians shop for their construction and home improvement projects.
Here is the list of the 19 stores that will soon be converted:
