THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I EVER EXPERIENCED! Called earlier…read morein the day to see if they had any wedge sandals (needed next day for work event). Riley answered the phone and gave me a quick review of what they had in store and made me realize I better stop in. When I got there, she helped me find the perfect pair. Although they were a half size bigger than what I would have ordered and a different color than I had in mind, they ended up being the perfect Sorel wedge sandal and now I'm obsessed. I also was able to use my 30% off bday coupon, which you can use pretty much everything (excludes Birkenstock and another prestige brand I can't think of). What a great deal! Riley also told me I could "double dip" and head over to Sunshine and Bluebirds (right next door). That's where I found more of the Teleties hair clips. These are so great because they lay flat, which omits the uncomfortable feeling of driving with a clip on the back of your head. Brittany who was working at the store, was beyond friendly and easy to talk to. The customer service alone makes me want to go back to both Research and Design & Sunshine and Bluebirds. Pro tip: add yourself to your mailing list and enter your birthday. You'll get a 30% coupon that I can use at both stores.

McKinlay has BFLO, Made In America, and Spencer's, and it also has Liam's. This is another example of that. I don't know if it's a big box chain like Spencer's, it didn't feel like it on the inside or out, but it's charming and fun and interesting and you would probably spend a lot longer in here than you expected to.

Bflo is a pretty awesome gift shop with all things Buffalo on sale, more than you can imagine. Basically has everything you can imagine from the Buffalo area. I'm a big fan of these stores and all of them have cool, innovative stock, and the only reason I don't usually give 5 stars are the prices.

When I brought them back, they were so kind and called around to the other BFLO stores to see if they had any folded ones in the same size and style. They did, and then they went above and beyond to bring them to the store that is closest to my home for me to pick up from there. Also, they have great promos. On 716 day, they had $7.16 off your purchase of $25 or more and free shirts when you spent $50 and $75. Bonus: They carry XS sizes, which you can't always find in Buffalo gear.

Sadly, nothing spiked our interest, and for unique items pricing was on point, other items a little pricey for age of Amazon, and online ordering. I do recommend to check it out it least once.
