Shopping
People value local businesses here. When they see someone who’s trying hard and wants to do something and wants to provide a new service or purchase an existing business that provides a service or provides a product, our community recognizes that it’s important we have these things and if we want to keep these things we need to support those businesses.
– Steve Reimann, fourth-generation Buffalo resident and branch manager of ANB Bank of Buffalo
“Past visitors might come here to spend a day, now people are getting to where they spend two, sometimes three days in our community”
