RONA Viger-Leblanc reveals its newly renovated store
Customers now have access to over 3,000 additional products
The work represents an investment of over $400,000
Boucherville, QC – November 14, 2019 – Lowe’s Canada, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers, is pleased to celebrate the unveiling of the newly renovated RONA Viger-Leblanc store by dealer-owners Serge Viger and Manon Leblanc. Located at 1889 Des Laurentides Boulevard in Laval, Quebec, this store, which has been affiliated with the RONA banner for over 45 years, underwent a complete transformation thanks to an investment of nearly $400,000.
The work, which took over six months to complete, involved renovating the sales floor to add over 3,000 products and completely redesigning the store’s racking. “We were motivated by the ambition to offer our customers a larger product selection in order to continue meeting their needs and following current trends in home improvement. We benefited from the support and expertise of the RONA team to help successfully complete this monumental project,” declared Mr. Viger. “With thousands of additional finishing products, including in the Plumbing department, our selection of building materials, and my dedicated team, we are truly a go-to destination in the region for home improvement projects of any size.”
A history of customer service excellence
Founded over 70 years ago, the Laval-based business has evolved to meet the growing needs of local customers. The store, while going from a fruit market to a general store at the end of the 50s and then finally becoming a RONA affiliated hardware store in 1973, has changed vocations and locations without ever compromising the quality of its service. Serge Viger joined the RONA store’s team over 40 years ago as a part-time employee. He worked his way up the ladder and finally acquired the business with his wife Manon in 2011. Today, he employs some 30 people.
“Serge is a true ambassador of the RONA brand. Passionate about home improvement, he spares no time or effort on propelling his business forward to better serve his customers. We are delighted to support this dealer owner and his entire team in achieving their goals and to be partners in their success,” said Philippe Element, Vice-President, RONA & Ace, Sales and Dealer Support.
