MONTREAL, Jan. 23 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Princess Auto is delighted to announce that its second store location in in the province of Quebec will be in Laval.
Last month, the announcement of the family-owned Canadian retailer's expansion to the province of Quebec was met with great enthusiasm from Quebec fans and customers.
The Laval store will be located near Robert-Bourassa Boulevard and the Saint-Jérôme store will be located near Grand Héron Boulevard. Both stores are scheduled to open in fall 2019 and will offer easy access and ample parking.
Building a Quebec team
Under the leadership of Marc-André Fournier, Vice-President of Operations in Quebec, Princess Auto is building its Quebec team. Store directors for both locations were hired in the spring of 2018. The purpose of bringing them on board so long ahead of the Quebec openings was to provide them with an in-depth Princess Auto experience and enriched training. They have since been travelling the country to learn about what makes Princess Auto's culture unique and build relationships with other Team Members. With strong management and retail backgrounds, Danielle Rozon (Bureau en gros, Target, Patrick Morin) will head the Laval store, while Yves Bergeron (Lunetterie NewLook, Oakley) will lead the Saint-Jérôme store.
Recruitment is currently underway for Assistant Store Leader and Department Manager positions for both locations and interested candidates can apply online via Princess Auto's website. Mass hiring for an array of positions is scheduled to start in May.
