What’s happening at Rona?
According to news outlets, Rona is cutting more than 300 jobs and closing two distribution centres in Alberta and Quebec. The closures are part of Rona’s plan to adjust its operating model and eliminate inefficiencies.
“This change will lead to the termination of our Terrebonne [centre’s] regular operations in March 2024, and the closure of the Calgary [centre] located on 60th Street S.E. in October 2024,” the home improvement retailer said in an emailed statement.
180 employees in Quebec are being let go, while 25 positions will be eliminated in Alberta.
Rona added that staff at its Calgary location are being moved to another distribution centre.
