Fiacco and Turk had known each other for many years, and had talked casually of a buyout when Turk was ready to retire, he said. Turk reached out to Fiacco in January of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI\u2019m from the Capital Region. My businesses are in Vermont, Western Mass and Queensbury. I always wanted to get down to the Capital Region as well,\u201d sad Fiacco.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe\u2019re super excited for this opportunity,\u201d said Fiacco. \u201cOld Brick Furniture has a great name in the Capital Region. Bennington Furniture has a great name in Vermont. We are like-minded businesses. Bringing them together is exciting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Bennington Furniture was started by Fiacco\u2019s mother. The flagship store is located in Bennington. The Old Brick Furniture Co. began in 1960s as a furniture wholesaler under the name C. and D. Distributors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Bennington Furniture is transitioning its branding to Old Brick Furniture + Mattress Co., a process that is complete for all stores except<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Manchester and Vermont. The branding transition for those stores will be complete by the end of March, Fiacco said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->\u201cOur buying power and footprint will both increase,\u201d said Fiacco. \u201cOur marketing penetration for the Albany DMA. The advertising and marketing dollars are better spent when you put us all together, and that was a primary reason for the acquisition.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">He said the acquisition will empower the store to remain competitive with online furniture vendors. Merging the two businesses gave the company more buying power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Future plans include more expansion. A central distribution center will be needed at some point, said Fiacco. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The Old Brick Furniture stores in Queensbury, Albany and Rutland are all hiring for various positions. He said the Queensbury store, 63 Quaker Road, was already busy before the merger and is seeing increased foot traffic lately. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">At all stores combined<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the company employs over 125 people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to brick-and-mortar showrooms, the store\u2019s inventory can be found and purchased online. Brands carried include King Hickory, Wesley Hall, Bradington Young, Bassett Furniture, Flexsteel, Palettes by Winesburg, Tempurpedic and Stearns &amp; Foster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The local phone number is 518-636-3434.
