FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Castle growth continues in the Ontario region

Castle Building Centres Group Ltd. announced today that Stoney Point Hardware Ltd. has now opened its doors to the local community as the newest Castle Building Centres location in Stoney Point, ON.

“Castle was the pioneer in bringing a proven hardware solution to Canada. Independents who want a long-term hardware solution, profitability and the freedom to run their business their way, choose Castle time and time again. The decision for Stoney Point to join the group is yet another example of how Castle continues to attract a variety of successful Independents from competing buying groups.”  Ken Jenkins, President

Stoney Point Hardware has been part of the local community since 1949. Founder, Rob Duquette decided that the small lakeside town in Southwestern Ontario needed a dedicated hardware store. Rob, along with his knowledgeable staff, have been serving the growing home improvement market including local contractors, DIY and walk-in customers ever since. The decision to make the move to Castle was prompted by the need to be part of a buying group that offered a more extensive and flexible hardware solution that would address the store’s specific hardware requirements.

“We wanted to be part of a banner that had an extensive and flexible hardware offering and one that gives us the independence to sell the products that are right for our customer and the Stoney Point market.” Rob Duquette, Owner, Stoney Point Hardware Ltd.

Since the move to Castle, Stoney Point Hardware the recently renovated store and showroom has undergone re-branding to the community as Castle Building Centres and a grand opening is planned for next Spring.

“Like many Independents today; Stoney Point Hardware was seeking a buying group that is transparent with no surprises, offers them freedom of choice and cares about member prosperity. Stoney Point Hardware wasn’t getting what they needed and Castle had the solution. Bruce Holman; Business Development Manager; Central Region

Castle welcomes Stoney Point Hardware to the Castle family.
