Marcil stores to adopt the RONA banner at the end of February


BOUCHERVILLE, QC, Jan. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Lowe's Canada announced earlier today that the 17 Marcil stores located in Quebec will be converted to the RONA banner on February 26. This decision furthers Lowe's Canada's vision to make RONA the #1 banner in the building centre market (small to medium stores, also known as "proximity stores") in the country.

"We are committed to RONA and the proximity building center model as one of Lowe's Canada pillar of growth," said Serge Éthier, Executive Vice-President of RONA Proximity. "RONA and Marcil operate in the same market segment, have complementary locations, and both serve a large client base of contractors and pros. It was therefore natural to combine the strengths of both banners. This decision will allow us to maximize our products and services offering to Marcil retail and professional customers, while simplifying our operations," he added.

Starting February 26, consumers who used to shop at Marcil will see the product selection available to them double, going from approximately 20 000 items to more than 40 000 products available in store and on rona.ca. In addition, they will benefit from the introduction of new product categories, such as home appliances and a wide seasonal department, as well as from a transactional website that will not only let them consult the product catalogue and verify store inventory, but also order online and collect their items in store or have them delivered by truck.

« We are happy to fuel RONA's growth with the addition of these 17 stores and their seasoned teams, and we are impatient to show the Marcil customers the numerous advantages of the RONA banner," concluded M. Éthier.
