RONA Carp Unveils Revamped Store with Grand Opening Celebration

Doidge Building Centres Ltd introduces major upgrades to its Carp location

RONA inc., one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers, operating and servicing some 425 corporate and affiliated stores, proudly celebrates the grand opening of the newly transformed RONA Carp store in Ontario. The event was marked by a traditional board-cutting ceremony attended by RONA’s dealer support team, business partners, and the local store team.

The Carp location has undergone a complete revamp since its acquisition by Doidge Building Centres Ltd in summer 2024. The store now offers an enhanced shopping experience, featuring expanded services and a broader product selection tailored to the needs of the local community. Popular brands such as BP Shingles, Tanatone pressure treated lumber, CertainTeed drywall, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation, CGC drywall compounds, Sico paints, and Milwaukee tools are now prominently available. RONA’s own private label products, including VALU+, have also been added to the mix.

Customers can now benefit from free estimates, all building materials for their next project, and a brand-new showroom showcasing kitchen, flooring, siding, window, doors, and roofing displays.

“Our goal is to listen to our customers and deliver the products and service they expect,” said Andrew Doidge, President and CEO of Doidge Building Centres Ltd, which operates 11 other RONA stores across Ontario. “With our new showroom, refined merchandising, and expanded product categories, we aim to inspire our community and provide the best selection to help them complete their projects efficiently.”

Alain Ménard, Senior Vice-President of RONA Affiliated Dealers, added, “Andrew and his team continue to evolve with the retail landscape, always putting customers first. We’re proud to support his growth and vision. Since joining the RONA network in 2006, Andrew’s leadership across his 12 stores has been a model of success and collaboration.”
