KNIC-KNACKERY
110 Central Ave
Always fun to visit a retail store and the Knic-Knackery did not disappoint! If you are need of a gift that is truly one of a kind, this is the place to shop. Nichola and Brad Elo work hard to source their merchandise from makers from all over - not the mass market. This makes the items unique and in my vernacular - somewhat edgy!
They also worked hard to remodel the building - hauling out over 22,000 pounds of rubble. They have maintained the look of the era and the predecessor in the building and have supported other small businesses by buying their display pieces here locally.
The name was a spoof - as Nichola is Nic for short - but she also liked to collect knic-knacks before kids came in to the picture. Now she can have the knic-knack fix in her shop, which has been open for about 2 years on Hwy 25 - just look for the light blue building with red light fixtures.
Her big sellers are bags, prints, and jewelry but you can find great greeting cards, puzzles, paint by numbers, stickers, soaps, candles and more! They also can host up to 30 people in their lower level, where you can make something as a group or host a gathering such as a bridal shower or b-day party.
Brad is also instrumental in the organization of the Cruise and Brews event happening this Saturday. It's a great opportunity to see fun cars, have a beer and find out more about the Buffalo Community and Arts Center plans. There will be popsicles and face painting for the kids too! Be sure to scan the code below for details and to pre-order your BBQ. Brad promises the brisket or pulled pork will be out of this world delicious!
