An Allentown Reso 'Lution'
Here's a cool little shop that slipped under the BRO radar. It's called Lution and it's new to Allentown. The shop's owner, Gretchan, packed her shopping bags in Niagara County and landed in Allentown three months ago. "I moved here for family and my pride work. I could tell that something was brewing in Allentown and I wanted to be here to be part of the renaissance. Seriously. I'm here to stay and I'm going to help fight to see this community grow. I travel to work forty minutes every single day to be a part of this business district. I'm bringing things here that no one else has. And guess what? I'm already expanding."
I'm still trying to figure out whether Gretchen is going to figure out what her eventual role is on the street. Will she be a shop owner or will she be a community activist? You can already see it in her eyes... community activism all the way, and shop owner to pay the bills. That means that you must stop in to see what Lution has going on. There is a sweet selection of Pride merchandise (rings, stickers, flags, and ornaments)... perfect for Allentown. Gretchen also stocks Tree Free greeting cards, The Mountain shirts (authentic pieces by Amy Brown), fantasy products, Outback jackets, Jeans, incense... the list goes on. Come take part in the Allentown renaissance by stopping into Lution Gift Shop, located at 23 Allen in Buffalo. 716-990-8958
Its about time someone opened a store like this, where you can be comfortable being yourself. I've been shopping at the store since it opened and love the mix of items gretchen carries. Its a one one stop shop for gifts for others and "gifts" for yourself. NIce article you guys wrote about the store, but how about some shots of the rest of the things gretchen carries?
