A Breath of Fresh Air for RONA Ferronnerie St-Janvier, Mirabel

Lowe’s Canada, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating or servicing over 450 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, is pleased to welcome Mikael Lanthier to its network of RONA dealers. Mr. Lanthier has just acquired the RONA Ferronnerie St-Janvier, located at 13817 Boulevard Curé-Labelle, Mirabel. As a young and dynamic entrepreneur, he ensures the continuity of the local service and the preservation of half a dozen jobs.

“The store has a rich history and an upstanding reputation in the St-Janvier area. By building on these strengths, I hope to leverage my expertise as a construction contractor and my understanding of the needs of professional and retail customers,” said Mr. Lanthier. “I also aim to work with RONA’s dedicated team of experts to adapt the offer and continue to properly serve local customers.”

“The entrepreneurial vision of independent owners such as Mikael Lanthier enriches our network of affiliated dealers. We are pleased to help him develop his local store with our tailored products and omnichannel capabilities,” said Philippe Element, Vice-President, RONA Sales and Dealer Support at Lowe’s Canada. “I also want to acknowledge the work of the Charbonneau family and thank them for serving their community for 52 years.”

The store, acquired by the Charbonneau family in 1969, has proudly operated under the RONA banner since 1972. Over the next few months, customers will see the store gradually modernized to allow for stock renewal and online shopping with thousands of additional products on rona.ca.
