RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating and servicing some 425 corporate and affiliated stores, is joining the dealer owners Joe Reid, Ryan Austin and Pat Butler to celebrate the grand opening of their new store RONA Manotick. Leaders from RONA’s Dealers Support Team along with partners and store employees attended the traditional board cutting event held on September 19, 2024.
“Manotick was missing a centre like ours to meet the needs of the local community and to help bring construction and renovation projects to life. The town has growth plans, and it was clear for us that the strength of the RONA brand, along with the company’s offering and services, especially in terms of retail, lumber and building materials, would help us bring about our vision for our store,” says Ryan Austin, dealer owner, RONA Manotick.
RONA Manotick is the first renovation centre to open in the city and has a 14,000 sq. ft. sales area offering a complete selection of lumber, building materials, paint, plumbing, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, appliances, hardware, and seasonal products to meet the construction and renovation needs of the local community. The opening of this store has created 15 new jobs in the region.
RONA Manotick is also the first RONA affiliated store in the province of Ontario to display the new visual identity designed specifically for RONA stores owned by independent dealers. The interior and exterior signage has been modernized to highlight the entrepreneurship, unique history, and community spirit which characterize RONA affiliated dealers.
“It’s amazing to see entrepreneurs like Joe, Ryan and Pat, with an objective to improve their town’s services and offering. I’m confident that their store will be a great added value for the local community, and I’m very happy that they chose RONA to help them achieve their business goals,” mentions Alain Ménard, Senior Vice-President, RONA Affiliated Dealers at RONA inc.
