RONA has entered into a strategic collaboration with DoorDash, establishing itself as the inaugural home improvement and construction materials retailer on the delivery platform within the Canadian market. This initiative enables on-demand delivery from close to 200 corporate RONA and RONA+ locations across seven provinces. The service is available in more than 150 cities.
Through the DoorDash platform, customers will access a wide array of merchandise for home improvement and construction — from tools and hardware to cleaning supplies, seasonal decorations, and small appliances. The collaborators commit to delivering orders in as little as one hour at standard in-store pricing.
To promote the new service, a limited-time promotion offers a 30% discount on orders exceeding $50, and subscribers to the DashPass membership program receive waived delivery fees on eligible purchases.
