Your Industrial Park Neighbors: Buck Factory Outlet

Display of gas, wood, pellet burning fireplaces, stoves, barbecues is largest in Bay Area.

Owners Guy and Sharon Fasanaro of  talk with Benicia Patch:  

How long has Buck Factory Outlet been in business?
Since 1979. We’ve been just down from Rose Drive (on East Second) since 1986.

How did the business get its start?
My husband and father were builders in the '80s when interest rates and gas prices went sky high. At that point, they opened Buck Factory Outlet.
