Costello’s Ace Hardware has opened new stores in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Henrico, Virginia. The locations are about 11,000 and 12,000 square feet, respectively, and each has a three-day grand-opening celebration planned.
Costello’s Ace Hardware has opened two stores in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and Henrico, Virginia, adding new retail locations in both communities. The West Chester store opened September 25, and the Henrico store opened October 9; each location is planning a three-day grand-opening celebration.
The West Chester store is approximately 11,000 square feet and is already open to customers. Its grand-opening celebration is scheduled for Friday, October 23, through Sunday, October 25, 2026. The source report did not give an address or describe the event schedule beyond the celebration dates.
Costello’s Ace Hardware of Henrico opened on Friday, October 9. The approximately 12,000-square-foot store is described as serving homeowners, do-it-yourself customers and local professionals with products for routine maintenance, repairs and improvement projects.
Henrico’s grand-opening celebration is planned for November 6–8, 2026. The company says it plans to hold its signature chainsaw board-cutting ceremony on Friday, November 6, as part of the event. The report does not identify specific opening promotions or other scheduled activities.
Two New Stores Serve Local Shoppers
The openings give residents and tradespeople in West Chester and Henrico another local source for hardware and home-improvement supplies. The company describes the stores as serving a mix of household customers, do-it-yourself enthusiasts and local professionals, though the report does not provide sales figures, staffing totals or information on how the new stores may affect nearby retailers.
The celebrations also offer residents a chance to visit the locations and meet the store teams. For shoppers, the key confirmed development is that both stores are already open; the announced events are follow-up celebrations rather than opening dates.

Opening Dates and Store Plans
The two locations opened on different dates: West Chester on September 25 and Henrico on October 9, according to the report by Hardware Retailing. The report calls the West Chester date an official opening and says the store was already operating while preparing for its October event.
Costello’s CEO Michael Costello described the company as a family business with more than 50 years in the hardware business. He said the company’s stated aim in new communities is to build customer trust through service and products. These comments describe the company’s approach; they are not independent measures of customer experience or business performance.
““Our family has been in the hardware business for more than 50 years, but every time we enter a new community, our goal is the same: earn the trust of our neighbors by providing exceptional service, great products and the kind of helpful experience people should expect from their local hardware store.””

Store Details Still Not Reported

It also does not list specific activities or promotions for either grand-opening celebration, apart from the planned chainsaw board-cutting ceremony in Henrico.
There is no information in the report about the company’s investment in the stores, expected customer traffic, or the effect of the openings on other area businesses. Those outcomes cannot be established from the announcement alone.
