The Elmwood Market Is Set To Open
We were so preoccupied with the historic photos that we kept forgetting to ask about other important details... like when was the market opening. We were told that they were shooting for an opening as early as this Friday. But if things were looking tight, they didn't want to open if they were not full prepared, which meant that Monday is also a good possibility. I noticed that the owners were already sporting their black Elmwood Market t-shirts, and a number of employees were buzzing about stocking the shelves and breaking down boxes.
There is a coffee bar set up along the front of the store looking out onto Elmwood. When I asked why there were no stools I was told that the market did not want to promote unnecessary loitering. If someone wanted to rest a few minutes while preparing their coffee at the bar, then that was great... or even browsing through a magazine would be cool. The market has a policy stating that no single cans or bottles of beer are to be sold. Right off the bat the owners are making it clear that this is to be a place where everyone is to feel welcome as long as they are not disruptive to other shoppers (you would think that other markets on the street would have similar policies).
With plenty of parking, a friendly attitude, fresh and clean interior and a good array of products, Alex, Dale and Tony at the Elmwood Market should do just fine. Check out a word from all of them in regards to their opening.
The Elmwood Village Market is located in the former DVD.Dot location (corner of Elmwood and North) - parking lot off to the side.

Party For The Parks - The Way A Park Should Be Seen
Last evening was the first time that I have ever attended the event, Party for the Parks held at the Marcy Casino. The parks gala started up just as the Burchfield-Penney showing was winding down, and has happened more than a few times this summer, the non-stop rain kept everyone guessing. By guessing, I mean that every time the band members would even look at their instruments the rain would start to fall. It was a good thing that the upper terrace was covered and the Marcy Casin … - Yesterday, 11:15am

It's Time To Break Out The Red, White, And Blue For Puerto Rico
According to Miguel Santos, one of the founders of the Puerto Rican Day Parade of WNY, starting the parade six years ago was a way of “recognizing that Buffalo’s Latino population continues to grow and we decided that it would be a great way to recognize this segment of the population.” Inspired by the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC, Santos, who is a local activist in the Latino community, got a call from Jose Rodriguez, and the rest is history.
Santos says, “We … - Yesterday, 10:15am

Burchfield-Penney Art Center Comes Alive
For the first time in over a hundred years, Buffalo has unveiled a brand new ($33,000,000, 84,000 sq.’) museum. Yesterday, hundreds of people met at the Burchfield-Penney Art Center to witness, not one, but three, ribbon cuttings. Fans and supporters were greeted by trumpeting didgeridoos as they walked into the vaulting entranceway – a walk that led them past the museum café, the gift shop, the learning center, a conference center, studios, gallery spaces, and more gallery s … - Yesterday, 9:20am

Thank the new owners for the elimination of single bottles/cans of beer sales. I truly feel this will have an impact. If it does, they can be the benchmark for the city to revise the laws governing either the square footage or annual sales. I performed this research a few years ago using data from a grocery chain in Monroe County, NY. There have been other cities that have used this method such as Cincinnati, OH and it works. It will be an interesting case study, indeed.

It's looking pretty conventional on those shelves. UNFI can hook them up for all the organics.

I hope the store has a good run and stays there. Keep it safe, lit and police friendly there, that area needs this bad right now.

Bravo for setting a standard and not allowing single beer sales!!!!!! In a city of 40ozer deli's and 2 dollar beer halls I love it! Not to mention it looks bright and clean, another 1st for an allentown Deli. Looks like a spot I can run to to pick up a few quick supplies [even lettuce by the looks of it] betwwen regular grocory runs.

I can't wait to check it out. It' nice that they guarantee the lowest prices since trekking out to Wegmans to beat the Coop and Tops Niagara prices can be a chore.

Agreed, also, the owners should keep an close eye on the exterior and parking lot for loitering. Worse than loitering in the store is hangers-on outside hiding in the parking lot and at the doors.
Keep up the good work guys. Can't wait to stop in.

Did they install counter to ceiling glass for the cashier area? The Sunoco (Elmwood & Bryant) was robbed a bunch of times before they finally secured the cashiers with bullet resistant glass.

There is a sign on the windows stating they will be open on Monday the 17th. I'm very excited about the no singles rule and the lack of stools. Its going to be tough enough for them to compete in the area they are in, they do not need the stress of excessive loitering pushing away business.
