Ace celebrates Quebec opening

WINNIPEG — Distribution Rioux Ace Building Centre in Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! is the newest member of the Ace banner. Owners Guy Rioux and Marie-Francine Pelletier purchased the original 1,800-square-foot location two years ago with the goal of increasing its size and adding a drive-through service for materials. Now the 4,800-square-foot location features an 8,000-square-foot drive-through and a 25,000-square-foot lumberyard. “The growth of the store means they have created 12 new jobs and they expect to have up to 15 during the peak seasons,” said Mark Blouin, business development director for Ace Canada.
