— Local Buffalo-themed retailer plans to establish a permanent presence at WNY’s largest shopping center —
Buffalo, NY (May 2025): The region’s largest Buffalo-themed retailer, The BFLO Store, has signed a long-term lease agreement with Walden Galleria, securing its status as a featured destination inside Western New York’s largest enclosed shopping center. The BFLO Store will occupy an 8,682 sq. ft. space located on the lower level, directly across from The LEGO Store, further enhancing its presence at Walden Galleria.
“Walden Galleria is, no doubt, Western New York’s premier hub for shopping,” said Nathan Mroz, owner and founder of BFLO. “For nearly a decade, we’ve seen a strong contingent of both locals and tourists visit and support our Galleria location. After almost ten years at the center, we felt it was time to solidify our home for the long term in a cutting-edge, modern store which will be one of the most beautiful buildouts we’ve ever done. I believe the Walden Galleria will continue to be the premier mall of the Buffalo-Niagara region for many years to come.”
The BFLO Store is a brand renowned locally for its Buffalo-themed apparel, home and office décor, sports novelty items, gifts, hats, and more. The Buffalo retailer also has the exclusive designation of “Official Retailer of the Buffalo Bills and Sabres,” where shoppers can discover an expansive collection of custom and exclusive merchandise. The BFLO Store has had a presence inside Walden Galleria since 2016, operating under several short-term arrangements. Now, Mroz is dedicated to the store’s legacy within the Buffalo community and plans to make a significant investment to improve its retail location at the mall, ensuring an even more engaging shopping experience for customers and visitors.
“We’re thrilled The BFLO Store will be opening a larger, permanent location here at Walden Galleria,” said Joel Cady, General Manager of Walden Galleria. “Their expansion not only enhances our diverse retail offerings but also demonstrates our commitment to supporting local businesses. We can’t wait to see the excitement that The BFLO Store brings to our shoppers and the community.”
