DELLA Honda Company Expansion

Online, July 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The second time's the charm for D'ELLA Auto Group.

The company, headed by Michael Della Bella Sr., postponed plans to expand its Queensbury Honda facility two years ago, just as turmoil beset the auto industry and the national economy.

Construction is finally underway on a 9,000-square-foot, two-story addition behind the current building - larger than the 6,500 square feet of new space originally planned in 2008.

The expansion will provide more space for the service department, as well as administrative offices that will serve as the company's headquarters and may create four to six new jobs.

The facade is also changing, and the interior will be updated throughout with new flooring, furniture and a new layout with an information center and a children play area.

Della Bella said the auto group's diversity of franchises - it has two Honda locations, two GM locations, a Toyota and Suzuki location, and a motorsports dealership - helped the company weather tough times for the industry.

The building upgrades are as much for the customer as they are for the morale of his staff and the need to keep growing the family business - his three sons and daughter are all involved.
