January 14, 2021Bennington Furniture Purchases The Old Brick Furniture Co.
Bennington Furniture has purchased The Old Brick Furniture Co. The two businesses will merge in the coming months, with all Bennington Furniture locations becoming The Old Brick Furniture Co. stores.
Bennington Furniture, headquartered in Bennington, VT, comprises five retail locations across Vermont, western Massachusetts, and the southern Adirondack region of upstate New York. The Old Brick Furniture Co., a two-store chain based in Albany, NY, was founded in the late 1980’s and was most recently owned and operated by Henry Terk and his family.
“We have always looked at The Old Brick as a scalable model with an authentic brand and heritage that the Bennington Furniture brand is very compatible with,” said Michael Fiacco, President and Owner of Bennington Furniture. “We’re excited for this new chapter and what it means for our future,” Fiacco said.
The Old Brick Furniture Co., whose tagline is “Price Low and Tell the Truth,” has become a well-known and trusted furniture retailer in the Albany, NY Capital Region. The Old Brick Furniture Co. began as C. and D. Distributors, Inc. in the 1960’s as wholesalers. In the late 1980’s, the organization changed its business model and became a direct to consumer retailer, and The Old Brick Furniture Co. was founded.
The Bennington Furniture brand, known for helping customers create “a style that’s all your own,” will live on within the Old Brick stores through Bennington Custom, a design-oriented, custom furniture line that its current customer base has grown to love. Bennington Custom will stay true to Bennington Furniture’s interior design and Vermont-based roots, which have focused on value and quality for the last 31 years.
