Comfort Windows hired new staff for the showroom and anticipates adding more employees in 2014 as “the location grows,” Gentile said.
The company has one employee operating the Ithaca location as of now, Scott Brown, director of marketing, said in an email message to the Business Journal News Network.
Besides Ithaca, Comfort Windows operates showrooms in Geddes, Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany.
