West Side Bazaar is on the move, and is preparing to open up in a building that is significantly larger than what it occupies now. Admittedly, the bazaar’s new home does not have the rustic charm that many buildings have on Grant Street, but that also means that there is an opportunity to improve upon the bland shell. With some colorful paint, a new sign and a storefront filled with handmade goods from all over the world, the bazaar’s new digs (25 Grant Street) should help to revitalize a section of the street that could certainly use a bit of refugee flair.
In preparation for its move to its new location at 25 Grant Street, West Side Bazaar is holding a huge moving sale. Starting tomorrow, and running through Saturday (hours: 11am-6pm), the bazaar will be hosting the sale at its original location – 242 Grant Street. Seeing that the holidays are right around the corner your purchases will not only save you some money to put towards other gifts, you will also be helping this incredible Buffalo enterprise to transition comfortably to its new location near the corner of West Ferry.
Congrats to Westminster Economic Development Initiative (WEDI), the organization that runs the bazaar. Upon opening in the new space this month, there will be 22 merchants all total, and four ethnic cooks who will be cooking in the building thanks to a brand new kitchen purchased with funds from the 21st Century Fund via the Community Foundation. With all of the talk of markets on BRO as of late, this news couldn’t have come at a better time… and just in time for the holidays.
