Goodbye Réno-Dépôt, Hello RONA+

  • RONA inc. collaborates with Normand Brathwaite for an event to mark the Réno-Dépôt banner’s move to RONA+
  • RONA becomes the company’s only retail brand in the country

 

Boucherville, QC, October 10, 2024 – RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating and servicing some 425 corporate and affiliated stores, has announced on October 10, the conversion of 18 stores to the RONA+ banner, including the last 16 Réno-Dépôt stores, the RONA L’Entrepôt Québec store and RONA Home & Garden Winnipeg. This is an important step for the company, which is turning a page in its history by sunsetting the Réno-Dépôt banner to better position RONA as its sole retail brand across the country.

“It’s an important milestone in our history that we’re celebrating as we make RONA our only coast-to-coast retail banner, a strong brand with 85 years of history. I’m extremely proud of the work of our teams, who brilliantly carried out this major milestone for our company. It’s particularly exciting to be part of the expansion of this homegrown brand,” says J.P. Towner, President and CEO of RONA inc.

In Quebec, RONA+ represents the merging of two strong Quebec brands–RONA and Réno-Dépôt–which have joined forces to offer Quebecers an enhanced home improvement experience by pooling their greatest strengths: renovation, expertise, serving PROs, and products at great prices.

Normand Brathwaite is back for a special event

Réno-Dépôt and Normand Brathwaite have a long history together. To mark the brand’s new departure as RONA+, RONA teamed up again with Normand Brathwaite, the man who was Réno-Dépôt’s spokesperson for over a decade, for a special event. The host joined company executives at the LaSalle store to bid farewell to Réno-Dépôt.
