Alberta Dealer Joins RONA Network

Vantage Building Supplies in Alberta has joined the network of RONA affiliated dealers. Founded in 1975, Vantage Builders added the Vantage Building Supplies Hardware Store to its business model in Vegreville, AB, in 2005. To support their growth ambitions, the owners – Walter Gegolick, Hugh Ziprick, Darren Davis, Ben Sawatzky, Paul Ziprick, Dayton Gegolick, and Cory Batog – will invest more than $1 million to expand the retail space in two phases, first adding 3,000 square feet to the existing 4,500 square feet and then adding 2,500 square feet in a second phase, for a total of 10,000 square feet. A dedicated contractor entrance will be part of this expansion. The store also features a four-acre drive-through outdoor lumber yard. Among the business’ key features are a wide range of home decor, kitchen, and bath product lines, plus an extensive paint line-up. The store also has a large appliance section.
