The Chatham Voice

RONA has acquired a pair of new stores in Southwestern Ontario, including one in Tilbury.

Blake and Bret Drew, father and son, own the two stores, with the second located in Comber.

The hardware stores will be renovated and will now offer lumber and building material products. To accomplish this, the RONA Tilbury store will put together a new outdoor lumberyard that will also serve the RONA Comber store.

‘‘We are pleased to make this transition to a full-service home improvement centre with the RONA team. This enhancement to our offering is designed to meet the growing needs of construction, commercial, and home improvement professionals, as well as small-business owners in our communities,’’ co-owner Bret Drew said in a media release.

Built in 1988, the Tilbury store will undergo major renovations to its 11,125-square-foot retail space and add a 45,000-square-foot lumber -
