Rona keeps network

Rona has decided not to sell its network of big box stores outside Quebec as the home renovation retailer attempts to build a turnaround by improving the customer experience, its new CEO said Tuesday. “If you have a happy customer that’s coming into your store and he’s leaving satisfied it helps to get him to come back,” Robert Sawyer, a former food retailing executive, said after speaking to shareholders for the first time.
