THE BUGNACKI STORY
The Frank S. Bugnacki Sr. family entered the meat business back in 1959 purchasing a slaughterhouse from William Bogner, Sr., Manchester Packing, Inc. The Bugnackis named it Silk City Packing, Inc. They ran this business and began cutting, wrapping and freezing beef cattle and lamb. In 1962 they opened a retail meat market on Oakland Street, Manchester, CT. In 1964 they opened Western Beef Mart, 63 Tolland Tpke., Manchester, CT. This store was overwhelmingly successful. Soon Tom and Frank Jr. opened another Western Beef Mart in Willimantic, CT and another in Enfield, CT. Within a three-year period the two additional stores were closed. The Manchester store remained very successful. Tom and Frank Jr. managed it together with their young brother Dennis who worked after school and weekends at the store.
Tom and Dennis renovated a defunct processing plant at 410 Prospect St., E. Hartford, CT in 1973. There, Bugnacki’s Special Meat Products, Inc was born, developing recipes and producing Bugnacki’s kielbasa, frankfurters, knockwurst, bratwurst, bologna, salami, Italian hot & sweet sausage, liverwurst, various loaves, pressed ham, etc. This provisions business flourished, however Western Beef Mart did not and they closed it. The three brothers and Tom's son Michael worked together making the main product - Bugnacki’s kielbasa.
In 1979, Bugnacki’s had a new plant built for them at 50 Batson Dr., Manchester, CT. By 1988 the business was not prospering and faced closing. The three brothers went their separate ways in differing occupations. Tom started MTS Builders, Manchester, CT with son Michael, Frank Jr. worked at Highland Park Market and started the SBN Realty Co., and Dennis bought Brown’s Market, New Britain, CT.
Dennis developed a rebirth of Bugnacki’s kielbasa, forming Bugnacki’s Specialty Meats, LLC in 2016. Dennis is currently producing kielbasa at a very well known sausage plant: Gaspar’s Sausage Co., Inc., N. Dartmouth, MA.
Bugnacki’s kielbasa is currently in 30 plus stores. Dennis and wife Kathy are planning to continually grow the business into the future to keep the Bugnacki name synonymous with kielbasa and other meat products.
