Rocky’s Ace Hardware to Celebrate Grand Opening of New South Hadley Store

SOUTH HADLEY — Rocky’s Ace Hardware, one of the country’s largest family-owned Ace Hardware dealers with 50 locations in nine states, invites the community to its new store and 2,000-square-foot garden center in the South Hadley Plaza at 501 Newton St.

“We’re really excited about this bright new space,” Rocky’s Ace Hardware President Rocco Falcone said. “The updated layout transforms the shopper experience, making it easier for customers to find what they’re looking for, and also get some fun new ideas along the way.”

A board-cutting ceremony scheduled for Friday, May 16 at 2:30 p.m. is just part of the two-day, family-friendly event featuring live grilling with food samples, power tool demonstrations, raffles, giveaways, and sales that run from Friday through Saturday, May 17.

The new store replaces Rocky’s previous location in the same plaza, offering a new and larger, 10,000-square-foot building that includes an expanded sales floor; more room for paint, grilling, and outdoor power tool displays; and a garden center full of live plants, soil, and supplies.
