The Forget Family passes the torch to another RONA affiliated dealer

Carlos Munoz, who owns three other RONA stores in Québec, will take over the reins of RONA Forget, which has been serving the Mont-Tremblant community for 120 years

Boucherville, Québec, March 20, 2025 – RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating and servicing some 425 corporate and affiliated stores, announces the acquisition of the RONA Forget store located at 302 Rue de Saint-Jovite in Mont-Tremblant by Carlos Munoz, a RONA affiliated dealer who already owns three stores under that banner in Montréal’s South Shore. The transaction, made official on March 20, will ensure the future of the company that has been serving the local Mont-Tremblant community for 120 years.

“Over time, our business has become an integral part of the community. We have grown alongside our partners and our customers by sharing the values that are important to us, including authenticity, collaboration and commitment. We’re proud of RONA Forget’s growth, and it’s with great emotion and optimism that we’re passing the torch today to someone who shares these same values, so that the company can carry on and continue to shine,” says Benoit Forget, former shareholder of RONA Forget.

Backed by the same team of experts currently in place, Mr. Munoz is committed to serving the customers with the same high standards, offering them all the products they need to complete their home improvement projects, and getting involved in the community. He has solid industry experience and will play an active role in the company as General Manager. The Forget family will stay involved in the business to ensure a smooth transition for the team and for customers. Some family members will retain their position at the store for the long term as it continues to operate under the same name.

“The store benefits from a rich history and an obvious reputation in the Mont-Tremblant community. I have great respect for the company’s traditions and the solid foundations laid by the Forget family. By building on these strengths, I hope to leverage my expertise to continue to serve and support the local community. I look forward to joining the team so that together we can continue to grow the company. I also want to work with RONA’s team of dedicated experts, who are key partners in store operations,” says Carlos Munoz, new owner of the RONA Forget store.

“A business transfer can be a very delicate challenge. I’m proud of the work done by the teams, who managed this project with professionalism while respecting the company’s values,” says Alain Ménard, Senior Vice-President, RONA Affiliated Dealers at RONA inc. “We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Carlos, who has now acquired his fourth RONA store in Québec. I would also like to thank the Forget family for their considerable contribution to the RONA network and to their community,” continues Mr. Ménard.
