Heredia, Costa Rica — Costa Rican hardware retailer Novex is marking its fifth anniversary in the country with significant expansion plans. Having established a strong presence with stores in Curridabat and Escazú, along with a distribution center and pickup center in Grecia, the company is now set to open its largest store yet in Heredia, with another planned for Liberia.
This expansion reflects Novex’s successful “More than a hardware store” concept, which offers a wide range of products beyond traditional tools and building materials. Customers can find departments dedicated to home goods, decor, outdoor living, bathrooms, gardening, and even pet supplies. This diversified approach has resonated with Costa Rican consumers, contributing to the company’s rapid growth.
