Massachusetts-Based Furnishings Outlet Expands Into South Windsor

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — A long-established Massachusetts-based home furnishings business, specializing in Scandinavian and European furniture, will soon open its first Connecticut outlet in South Windsor.

Danco Furniture & Design, founded in 1971 as a gift shop by Dan and Joan Haugaard, has been owned since 2018 by former employees Miguel Candelaria Jr., Emily Luippold and Ross Grant. They have steered the business towards growth while preserving its family-like atmosphere and upholding the legacy of its founders.

Based in West Hatfield, Mass., the retailer recently occupied a second showroom at 41 Glendale Road, just off Route 5 in South Windsor. For more than three decades, the site was home to Now! Furnishings to Go before its owner retired in October.

Grant told Patch the new facility should be ready to host customers sometime next week.

Danco offers a great variety of furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and offices, as well as accessories such as rugs, lighting and pillows. The staff also provides custom design services, white-glove delivery and many more amenities.

Both showrooms are open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. The South Windsor phone number is the same as had been used by Now!: 860-282-7322.
