The Kemptville Building Centre in Kemptville, Ontario Joins BMR Group

BMR Group is pleased to announce the addition of a new dealer to its growing family: the Kemptville Building Centre.  This 2nd generation family business is one of the largest building centres in the region at over 63,000 sq. ft. and has several specialized departments, including kitchen, bathroom, and window and door renovations.  The store, located in Kemptville, Ontario, employs between 55 and 75 employees, depending on the season, more than half of whom have been dedicated to serving their local customers for at least 10 years.

After 10 years under the RONA banner, owner Eric Norenberg has decided to join BMR Group to increase the market visibility of his store and to extend its product offering. The mission of the company, which began its activities in 1975, is to offer quality products and excellent service to its community. The owner also pointed out that the entrepreneurial culture of BMR Group and the fact that it is a Canadian company prompted his decision to join the group.

“I am very proud and honoured to have the privilege of joining the BMR Group family. The expertise of the staff of this homegrown company, its distribution network, and its wide range of products will allow me to better serve our customers. I am looking forward to a long and successful future for our store under the BMR banner.” – Eric Norenberg, Kemptville Building Centre Owner

“We are pleased to welcome the Kemptville Building Centre to the BMR Group and to see our network of dealers in Ontario grow. This will allow us to better serve the needs of local residential and business customers while increasing recognition of BMR Group’s excellent customer service. We look forward to working with Eric and his dedicated team and to introducing them to the many advantages of BMR!”
