RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating and servicing some 425 corporate and affiliated stores, says the RONA Lachine’s major expansion and renovation project is now complete.
Recently, leaders from RONA’s dealer support team, business partners, and store employees joined the Chartier family, who owns the store, to mark the occasion with the traditional board-cutting ceremony.
“The project required a local investment of approximately $2 million. The main goal was to build a second warehouse for building materials, to improve the service offering for construction and home improvement professionals. The RONA Lachine store was expanded by 6,500 square feet, and 75 items were added to the store’s product assortment. The new warehouse is accessible by vehicle and includes a service counter equipped with a racking system, electronic shelf labels, and lockers for online order pick up. The Chartier family also took the opportunity to add parking spaces, including two with electric charging stations, and a staff break room with a patio,” said the company.
“We are now the third generation to run this neighbourhood hardware store since it first opened in 1998. Our improved offering aims to meet the growing needs of construction, commercial, and home improvement professionals, as well as small business owners in our communities,” said Yves Chartier, Co-owner.
The company said the store’s exterior and interior signage were also updated and customized with the new visual identity designed exclusively for RONA affiliated dealers. It highlights the “Yves Chartier Family,” its unique history, and its community spirit. The Chartier family is very involved in its community and supports many charitable causes. They have received several awards for their social involvement over the years, it added.
“Hugo, Pierre-Yves, and Yves Chartier are highly respected in their community, and their store is a real neighbourhood institution. They embody the vitality and strength of the affiliated dealers that make up our network in Canada, and we’re happy to help them gain even more of a competitive edge in their market,” said Alain Ménard, Senior Vice-President, RONA Affiliated Dealers at RONA inc.
