Mr. Valles is currently renting his corporate headquarters on Nutmeg Road South and would like to build across the street on Lot #6, currently known as Constitution Landing. He has six stores, five in Connecticut and one in Massachusetts. He sells and installs physical fitness equipment to corporate businesses and to the retail public.
