RONA inc. is proud to celebrate the official opening of a new store in Rockland, Ontario, owned by the Lalonde family (J. Lalonde & Fils). Located 3015 Richelieu, this new store offers 15,000 square feet of retail space in addition to a 75,000 square feet lumberyard with a 6,000 square feet drive-thru. Celebrating 100 years in the retail business in 2016 and the fourth generation in their family to continue the tradition, the Lalondes also own another RONA store located just 15-minutes away in Hammond. The Lalondes have invested 6 million dollars for the new RONA in Rockland, thus creating 40 jobs in the local community.
France Lalonde, along with her brother Serge and her father Robert, are dedicated to better serving the home renovation and building needs of the Clarence-Rockland communities located some 15 minutes away from the National Capital Region and are proud to further expand their business under the RONA banner.
"With this new store, we want our customer to experience an increased product offering, right in time for any spring/summer maintenance and renovation projects. We believe that our revamped offering and in-store service will meet the local community’s highest expectations," said France Lalonde, co-owner of the new RONA in Rockland.
"We are proud to emphasize the dynamism of the Lalonde family who truly believes in the RONA brand and has grown their business successfully over the past years," added Luc Rodier, Executive Vice President Retail for RONA Inc. "Given their many years of retail experience and commitment to their community, we know this new location will become a key destination in Rockland for those undertaking building or renovation projects."
The new RONA store in Rockland offers a spacious retail space with a full assortment of products to cater to all projects, big or small, and will work closely with the Hammond RONA store to fulfill the needs of both retail customers as well as professionals and contractors. Customers also have access to RONA's full selection of products on www.rona.ca. The store, managed by Stéphane Mongrain, features core departments such as paint, hardware, electrical, lighting, trims, tools and seasonal products as well as specialized departments for building materials, bathroom, doors and windows, plumbing and flooring.
