HATFIELD Danco Modern, a Pioneer Valley furniture store, is marking 50 years this year. And the furniture store’s three owners, all former employees and all younger than the business itself, aren’t content to see the business stand still.
“We’re looking to grow,” said Miguel Candelaria Jr., 45.
Each of the three owners had a different pathway to Danco. Candelaria, who was born in Northampton, grew up in Easthampton and lives in Florence, started his career with the company in 2011 moving furniture.
Emily Luippold, 39, meanwhile, started at Danco as a designer, after spending time as a stay-at-home mom in Erving, the community where she grew up.
