Downtown Lebanon gains a new storefront on Halloween: CoinHub opens its larger Lebanon Coin & Jewelry store at 110 S. Broadway Street on Saturday, Oct. 31, with a grand opening aimed at collectors and families from across the Cincinnati and Dayton areas.
The grand opening runs from 1 to 7 p.m., according to the company’s announcement. A ribbon cutting takes place at 1 p.m., followed by free food through CoinHub’s Skyline Chili collaboration beginning at 2 p.m., and free Halloween candy for children — a fitting pairing for a store opening on the same afternoon Lebanon families head out for Halloween festivities.
The new downtown store will offer coin buying, selling and trading in person, the company said, introducing face-to-face sales and trading alongside its existing coin-buying services. For collectors in the Cincinnati-Dayton corridor, that means appraisals, trades and purchases handled across a counter in downtown Lebanon rather than by mail.
CoinHub reports more than $10 million in cumulative sales, according to its announcement — the track record behind its decision to move up to the larger Broadway storefront. The company describes itself as a coin retail and education business based in Lebanon, and the expanded store doubles down on that hometown base.
Until the Oct. 31 opening, the company’s East Street shop remains its current customer location, the company said. Opening-day details and any updates are posted on CoinHub’s website.
The opening adds to a run of Southwest Ohio business investment this week, from BASF’s expanded bio-based surfactant production at its Cincinnati plant to the region’s stages, where Cincinnati Ballet, Over the Rhine and the Symphony share one stage Nov. 6-7.
Warren County’s downtowns have leaned on exactly this kind of specialty retail — destination shops that give visitors a reason to make the trip and stay for dinner. A coin and jewelry store with an education mission fits that model: collectors plan trips around inventory and expertise, and a Halloween grand opening with free food and candy is built to introduce the store to families who may never have shopped for coins before.
What we know — and what we’re still waiting on
What we know: the address, the Oct. 31 hours, the 1 p.m. ribbon cutting and the company’s reported $10 million in cumulative sales all come from CoinHub’s own announcement. What we’re still waiting on: the store’s regular hours after opening weekend and how its in-store trading volume grows once the Cincinnati and Dayton collector communities find it.
What happens next is Saturday itself: doors open at 110 S. Broadway at 1 p.m. on Oct. 31, and Lebanon gets its newest downtown business just as the Halloween crowds arrive.
