employees . He built a rapport with his landlord , who then acquired another commercial building and offered him the chance to open another location . By refinancing his home , he opened the second store , a 5000-square-foot industrial space , in 1982 . The same thing happened for our third and fourth stores too , as the landlord developed shopping centers in the little-known town of Nesconset , and then Farmingdale . We were not wellfunded back then . Success came through hard work , patience , and doing more with less . Eventually it paid off , which fueled further growth into larger outlets .
Benjamin Moore congratulates Costello ’ s Ace on 50 years of success , prosperity , and partnership .
