Costello's Ace acquires Appomattox True Value
Costello’s Ace Hardware, one of the nation’s largest family-owned and operated Ace Hardware retailers, has acquired Appomattox True Value, located at 7194 Richmond Hwy, Appomattox, Va., 24522. The hardware business dates back to as early as 1913. In 1996, Mark Malkiewicz acquired the store and, according to Costello's, has continued its legacy of community service, helpful expertise and reliable home improvement solutions ever since.
In 2011, the store was recognized by True Value Company as one of its "Best Hardware Stores in Town."
“It has been an incredible experience serving the Appomattox community for the past 28 years,” said Malkiewicz. “This transition brings exciting opportunities for our store, team and customers. I’m confident that the team at Costello’s Ace Hardware, with their family values and commitment to service, will continue to build on what we’ve created here.”
Founded in 1973 by Vincent Costello, Costello’s Ace Hardware has grown to operate 52 retail locations across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.
The store is being converted to Costello’s Ace Hardware of Appomattox, effective immediately. Costello's says local customers can expect a store remodel and the introduction of expanded product lines from brands like Benjamin Moore, Milwaukee Tools, DeWalt, Craftsman, Weber, Traeger, Big Green Egg, YETI, Scotts, EGO, and more. The existing team will remain in place.
“We are proud to welcome Appomattox True Value into the Costello’s family,” said Michael Costello, CEO of Costello’s Ace Hardware. “Mark and his team have built a remarkable business rooted in service, trust and community values. As we begin this new chapter, we are committed to honoring that legacy of service our customers have grown to expect, while enhancing the customer experience through expanded product and service offerings, and a refreshed store environment."
