BMR expands its footprint in the southern Ontario market

Boucherville, May 15, 2025 — BMR and CBS Bancroft, a well-established renovation and construction center in Central Ontario, are very pleased to announce their new partnership under the BMR PRO banner.

Serving the community since the 1970s, Bancroft was acquired in 2021 by three entrepreneurs united by a shared vision to deliver high-quality products, exceptional service, and an outstanding customer experience, all while building strong community relationships. The group began its journey with the acquisition of its first store in Oshawa, in 2018, and has since expanded steadily, embracing new opportunities, and diversifying its operations. Today, CBS Bancroft is a regional destination for hardware, building and renovation materials.

One of the pillars of its success lies in the diversity of its structures, but also in the complementarity and expertise of its three shareholders. Each brings to the group a wealth of experience in management, sales, distribution, and business development, which directly contributes to the sustained growth of the company.

"We are excited to begin this collaboration with BMR. Our two organizations share a common objective and strong core values, which strengthens our confidence in a promising future. Through this alliance, we are delighted to enhance our product offering, and gain access to new tools and programs that will benefit both our customers and our teams," says Jayson Keever, one of the shareholders.

"BMR is proud to welcome today a new, strong well-established dealer in its community into our large family. This partnership is part of our commitment to continue our expansion and consolidate our presence in the key Ontario market. CBS Bancroft will certainly be an excellent ambassador for our brand," adds Simon Gouin, Vice President, Business Development.
