RONA inc. has welcomed a former Ace store in Lumby, B.C., to its network of affiliated dealers. Alex Day is co-owner of the business along with partner Wade Tearne, who works alongside his parents and brother. The store will undergo expansion work to add 3,000 square feet to its interior and exterior retail space, allowing it to showcase RONA’s ECO line of green products.
“Wade and Alex are familiar faces at RONA,” Alain Ménard, SVP of RONA Affiliated dealers, said in a release, “as they used to operate their store – rather remarkably – under the Ace Canada banner, which used to be part of RONA’s banner portfolio.”
