Princess Auto to set up shop in Quebec

Family-owned retailer Princess Auto is opening a pair of stores in Quebec.

The Winnipeg-based company is slated to unveil the new locations in the fall of 2019 – one store will be located in Saint-Jérôme, near Grand Héron Boulevard while the other will be announced later, but also located on the North Shore. The company sells tools, equipment and products for DIYers and professionals in various trades through its current offering of 46 stores.

It’s the culmination of many years of examining the Quebec market for opportunities, said Marc-André Fournier, Quebec business leader at Princess Auto.

“Our long-time Quebec fans already enjoy our unique assortment of tools and equipment, by purchasing through our online store and, some even making the trip to our stores in Ontario or the Atlantic region,” he said in an announcement. “We thank them for their loyalty and we are excited to finally bring the Princess Auto experience closer to them.”

Princess Auto was founded in 1933.
