Mario DiSiena, who operates the Furniture House at Suttons\u2019s Marketplace in Queensbury, is updating buildings on the parcel to attract restaurant, gift shop, and retail tenants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Jill Nagy<\/p>\n

Mario DiSiena plans to return Suttons Marketplace in Queensbury to its former glory now that he owns the entire parcel. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His Furniture House has been in the location since 2014. Now, he is updating the rest of the parcel and looking for a restaurant, gift shop, and other businesses to move in.<\/p>\n

The existing buildings have \u201cgood bones,\u201d he said, and only need painting and minor repairs to bring them up to speed. He has already had the roofs replaced.<\/p>\n

Sutton\u2019s Marketplace, he recalled, used to be an \u201cunbelievable destination\u201d that dominated the Glens Falls area. Buses pulled in for breakfast and lunch at the cafe and for people to patronize the gift shop.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His core business, the Furniture House, has also undergone changes. The major American furniture companies whose products he used to sell are no longer in existence. Instead, he stocks \u201cmade in America\u201d furniture from Amish sources, some of them small workshops and others, more substantial operations.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They sell solid wood, \u201ccraftsman quality\u201d furniture at prices competitive with Asian imports, he said. Most of the furniture is of contemporary design but, \u201cWe can build anything, any wood, any finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the standard dresser design is too long or the bedside table is too tall, that can be changed. In addition, Furniture House carries a line of \u201cpremium imports\u201d from Vietnam which, DiSiena claims, is better than the goods coming from China.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\u201cI love shoppers,\u201d he said. When they see what he has to offer, \u201cthey realize how expensive cheap furniture is.\u201d He also finds that, once people come into his store, they usually buy something.<\/p>\n

For the Marketplace, he is looking for creative people to reactivate the cafe, gift shop, and other retail outlets. His current tenant, the Rushmont Cafe, is in process of moving out and he expects to begin interior repairs by early January.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited about a whole new life for the property,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Business during the pandemic has been \u201cspectacular,\u201d he said, \u201cIt\u2019s the best thing that ever happened to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

People are not traveling far. Instead, they are staying home and many of them are updating their homes. As a result, he said, Furniture House\u2019s business doubled.<\/p>\n

DiSiena and his wife started their furniture business in 1980. They have a store on Saratoga Lake as well.<\/p>\n

He has 20 employees and could use more.<\/p>\n
