Marcella’s Appliance Center, one of the largest family-owned appliance dealers in the Capital Region, has expanded its reach north with the acquisition of a similar company based in Saratoga Springs.
The company has announced it has acquired Adirondack Appliance, which has served homeowners and commercial builders throughout the Saratoga and Lake George regions since 1929.
The acquisition will allow Marcella’s to extend its reach farther north. The company, established in 1957, currently operates a flagship showroom on Broadway in Schenectady and Clifton Park location that opened in 2015.
“Extending beyond the Albany-Schenectady-Troy area is something we’ve been building towards,” John Marcella, vice president of Marcella’s Appliance Center, said in a statement. “It started with our Clifton Park showroom in 2015 and now with Adirondack Appliance we will extend our reach well into Saratoga and Lake George to be able to fully service the new construction growth up north in recent years.”
Marcella’s currently offers 70 product lines from all major brands, and offers in-house repair services.
The acquistion is not the only expansion undertaken by the family-owned Marcella’s.
The company recently opened a new 30,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center in Rotterdam on a five-acre plot located at 57 West Campbell Road. The new facility will allow the company to consolidate three existing warehouses into one centralized location and offers close proximity to I-890, allowing for easy access to all portions of the region.
The new facility also keeps in line with the company’s green initiatives, and includes electric clamp trucks, ample natural light and a point-of-sale system that allows for reduced paper usage, according to the news release.
Marcella’s has solar panels installed on the roof of its Schenectady showroom and is the only company in the state to use a polystyrene densifier machine, which recycles polystyrene products.
“With our new warehouse and distribution center, we will now be able to streamline deliveries, allow for greater stock capacity, and create space for a dedicated service center for appliance repairs,” Marcella said.
