B.C. RONA first to adopt new store model

BOUCHERVILLE, Que. — RONA’s Vernon, B.C., store is the first in the province to transition to the banner’s new building centre model, as a result of an investment exceeding $2.5 million. The new model features a more open-concept space with lower racks, more services for contractors, and a more user-friendly layout of products. Lowe’s Canada plans to have 10 stores remodeled by year’s end.
