The family has received approval to build a 17,000-square-foot facility for its business on the North Benson Road property. Construction is planned to begin this fall and be completed in 2014.

Stacey Drubner was the seller. David Theroux, managing partner of Waterbury-based Drubner Commercial, was the sole broker in the transaction.
