Michael Attardo's men's clothing store, Get Dressed Downtown, has now been open for about nine months. That's pretty huge, especially considering that his business is located in an area in Buffalo that is not known for offering much as far as retail goes. But Mike believes that Main Street is prime for business... and please don't think he's out of his mind. Located next to Michael's shop is The Belesario lofts... and just across Main Street is Rocco developer Termini's latest acquisition (see video). Things are starting to move and buildings are changing hands.
While visiting Get Dressed Downtown earlier today Michael expressed that the walking traffic was a vital part of his success. He told me that he moved close to thirty overcoats in just a matter of days - coats that had been taking up space at his Elmwood Location. "I put them on a rack outside the shop and they were gone in no time," he explained. "The lunch traffic is great down here. People love to walk over to the farmers' market or they stroll over to listen to the live music. If they're walking, they want to shop. We're in a position to market this area as an up and coming destination in Buffalo."
Get Dressed Downtown is located at 522 Main Street. The phone is 716.462.7830
