Caraluzzi's has launched a soft opening for their new market in Danbury. Grand-opening plans are in the works, along with an official ribbon cutting ceremony for the Mill Plain Road location.  Officials say supply issues with certain construction materials, along with delays with key equipment and fixtures to outfit the space was a hurdle. 

The store conducted Job Fairs and Hiring events to fill the roughly 170 new positions.  Several management positions were filled by promotions from within the company.  Construction has taken little over a year on a vacant parcel of land. 

Specific to the new Danbury location are features like traditional wood fired Neapolitan style pizzas, expanded café offerings of soft serve ice cream, acai bowls, and smoothies to compliment gelato and a variety of specialty brewed coffees and teas.
