RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers, operating and servicing over 425 corporate and affiliated stores, recently opened several RONA+ stores across Canada, continuing its transformation journey to the RONA+ and RONA banners.
Thanks to these latest conversions, the company can provide its customers with an outstanding experience, the right product offering at the right price, and exceptional customer service, while improving the ways Canadians shop for their construction and home improvement projects, it said in a news release.
“We have accomplished so much since RONA+ was launched over two years ago, and our results are positive. Customers truly appreciate the brand, as we saw with the 10-point increase in the latest Léger Reputation Study. I am extremely proud of our teams’ hard work to convert our stores to the RONA+ banner and to celebrate their grand opening today,” said Sylvain Proulx, Senior Vice-President, Store Operations at RONA inc.
“Over the past few weeks, these stores underwent major transformations to implement all of their new features, such as an expanded PRO department and new RONAPRO permanent signage; new MOEN and Scotts Shop in Shops; a new program in the kitchen department that includes more demos; an expanded and redesigned seasonal department, as well as an overall modernization of the stores. And like every other RONA+ store, they will offer added value to local customers thanks to a broader selection of products and flexible payment options,” explained the retailer.

More from Retail Insider:
I’ve tried shipping at Rona several times, multiple locations. It’s always a disappointment. Never a checkout open, staff standing around chatting and not knowing where anything is. Lots out of stock. Just seems so disorganized. You go over to Home Depot and you can find what you need, staff are very helpful. Rona is severely lacking something I can’t put my finger on. Maybe it’s the old Lowes locations that are the problem? Don’t know, because Lowes was a total disaster. Seems like the same disappointing experience at Rona as it was at Lowes
It’s called the RONA factor, they were horrible before Lowes came, and Lowes was great, and a go to for myself. And I was sad to see them leave and the RONA name go back on the store, as in the RONA+ near my house there is never a cash open and only 1 employee staffed at the self checkout, and 1 down at the prodesk. Cause now the call buttons to advise you need service in various sections are gone, and the staff one the floor are non existant.
I only shop at RONA+ if I don’t want to make the extra 10 min trek to a Home Depot.
