SURREY, B.C. ― The RONA store in Surrey, B.C., also known as the Fleetwood store, is using extra space in the warehouse to serve as a direct delivery centre hub for other RONA corporate stores in the area. It is also sharing some warehouse space with Dick’s Lumber, the contractor yard also owned by RONA in the area, says Interim Manager Adam Creelman.
The 55,000-square-foot Fleetwood store, which has another 50,000 square feet for the lumber yard, is now supplying to 10 of the 40 stores in the Lower Mainland. According to Creelman, the cities of Chilliwack and Abbotsford have their own distribution.
