A Smooth Transition for the RONA Quincaillerie Crémazie Store

Lowe’s Canada, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating or servicing some 470 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, welcomes a new dealer owner in its RONA dealer network. François Thifault, also at the helm of Thifault Notaires, has just acquired the RONA hardware store in the Montcalm district, located at 168 rue Crémazie Ouest in Quebec City.

“I live and work in the Montcalm district, and the RONA Quincaillerie Crémazie store is part of what makes this neighbourhood so vibrant and inviting,” said Mr. Thifault. “Thanks to the current staff’s expertise and RONA’s tailored support, my team and I will be able to continue providing excellent service to the community.”

“We are pleased to welcome Mr. Thifault to our network and to have the opportunity to support him in his growth projects. Thanks to his entrepreneurial spirit and his commitment to providing a proximity service to local customers, he will ensure the continuity of the business that has been operating under the RONA banner since 1997,” added Philippe Element, Vice-President, RONA Sales and Dealer Support at Lowe’s Canada.

Located minutes away from the Old Québec and the Plains of Abraham, the 1,500-sq.-ft. store has been serving the community for over 75 years. Customers can find a wide range of products for their home improvement projects as well as a rich variety of kitchenware. For more convenience, the store also offers the options of home delivery or store pickup for purchases made online at rona.ca.
