RONA Dryden Celebrates Its Grand Opening Following Major Renovations

Lowe’s Canada joins Lori and Marc Palsson to celebrate the official grand opening of their new RONA home improvement centre located at 329 Government Street in Dryden, Ontario. Since acquiring the store in March 2021, the Palssons have proceeded to extensive renovations to provide local homeowners and contractors with a welcoming one-stop-shop where they can find everything they need for their construction and home improvement projects. The store, which has been serving the Dryden community for over 40 years, now features a brand new seasonal sales area, as well as a Kitchen, Bath and Appliance Centre. These renovations represented a local investment of approximately $1 million and led to the creation of new jobs in the community.

“We are extremely happy to start welcoming customers in our new space as the province progressively reopens. All the safety measures are in place and we are ready to greet the local community in person again,” said Marc Palsson, Owner and President of RONA Dryden. “We are so thankful for the hard work our staff has done to serve our customers via our curbside pickup service throughout the province-wide lockdown, all amid our renovation process. We have an outstanding team and we are glad to count on our people to help us bring the best possible shopping experience to local homeowners and contractors.”

“RONA Dryden is Lori and Marc’s third RONA location and, based on the amazing things we’ve seen from them over the years, I know they will bring exceptional value and service to residents of the area,” adds Philippe Element, Vice-President, Sales and Affiliated Dealer Support.

To celebrate the grand opening of RONA Dryden, the Palssons and their team held, earlier today, a socially distanced board cutting ceremony with local elected officials and members of the Lowe’s Canada affiliated dealer team. As a thank you to the community for its support and loyalty throughout these past few months, the store is also offering a free gift to the first 25 customers to make a purchase on June 25, 26, and 27. All customers who make a purchase on those dates will also receive an entry for the draw of a $500 RONA gift card.
