Boucherville, Quebec, January 29, 2026 – RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers, operating and servicing over 425 corporate and affiliated stores, is celebrating today the grand opening of its RONA+ store in Kelowna, British Columbia. With this latest conversion, the company continues its transformation to offer an enhanced customer experience and improve the way Canadians shop for their construction and home improvement projects.

“I am extremely proud of our team’s hard work to convert this store in a record time of twelve weeks. This location has been serving the residents of Kelowna and its surroundings for over 25 years, and the tradition will continue under the RONA+ banner. We are convinced that this transformation will generate positive results in British Columbia,” said Sylvain Proulx, Senior Vice-President, Store Operations at RONA inc.

The store underwent a major makeover in the past few weeks to focus on its new offerings, such as an expanded PRO department that now features two full sections entirely dedicated to the pro customer. In addition, customers can now enjoy a new program in the kitchen department with a wide array of demos, a revamped look in the seasonal, tools, millwork, plumbing and flooring departments, and an overall modernization of the store. Like all other RONA+ locations, the Kelowna store offers better value to local shoppers thanks to an enhanced selection and flexible payment options. On top of these changes, the store now also features a Scotts Shop in Shop, a first in RONA’s network of stores in Canada.

“In addition to other store improvements, our new Scotts Shop in Shop is sure to delight gardening enthusiasts. Entirely dedicated to the Scotts brand, the number one brand in lawn and garden and one of our long-time partners, this Shop in Shop is a new merchandising approach that aims to enhance the customer experience, offering everything they need to help them complete their lawn and garden projects,” added Doug Young, Chief Merchandising Officer at RONA inc.
