When you first walk into the RONA Vegreville store you will notice how spacious and clean it is. This atmosphere welcomed new and existing customers for their Official Grand Opening Celebration on June 19 to 21.
Customer Dustin Rattray said the store was cool, and it is good to have more options in town.
The event included door prizes and a fundraising BBQ on June 19, from which all proceeds were donated to Vegreville Food Bank.
Greetings were presented by Co-Owner Ben Sawatzky, Honourable MLA Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk, Mayor Tim MacPhee, Tony Perillo, RONA Business Development Western Canada, Bernie Gauthier, Vice-President of Deal Operations for RONA.
Vantage Builders, which partnered with RONA in the spring of 2023, celebrates the opening of the store following its conversion to the RONA banner and the completion of the store’s expansion.
Members of RONA Inc. joined Darren Davis, Ben Sawatzky, Cory Batog, Paul Ziprick, and Dayton Gegolick, co-owners of the RONA Vegreville store-along with their team in celebrating the grand opening in Vegreville.
There have been several achievements since the acquisition. RONA Vegreville’s expansion plan transformed the store into a major design and building centre, taking the retailer in a new direction and building on its presence in the region for over 20 years. These upgrades have allowed for and increase of the store’s offering to better serve local Pros and DIYers.
“Our market is evolving, and we are listening to our community to deliver the customer experience they expect and deserve. That is how we stand out,” stated Ben Sawatzky.
