It's a massive Plaza in the rich suburbs of Buffalo right alongside the nightmarish stretch of Transit Road which is always backed up for many hours a day. If you come here later at night it's perfectly fine. But between the McDonald's and the Tim Hortons across the street from each other - and the lights that are poorly programmed - traffic emerging from Sheridan Drive and Maple Road - it just becomes awful. And of course we're looking at Walmart - one of the biggest and best ones in the area - if a Walmart can be the "best" - so just forget about it. Not to mention I've been pulled over while driving in this parking lot which is ironic because I think 95% of people drive much more Dangerously in parking lots than I do and I never see them getting pulled over. I didn't get a ticket but I just wanted to say seriously?

Not to be confused with the Shippes At Lake Erie, which are really just small boats honestly. But…read moreno, this isn't my fight song. What a very posh and pretentious name for a very run-down old plaza that has a few typical stores which can be busy, or can be quiet. The paving isn't great but then neither is your mother's driveway when driving out of it at 4am. Definitely nothing on the level of the businesses and plazas up in Amherst and out in Clarence along Transit Road or Niagara Falls Boulevard. Pretty sleepy and has a Save-A-Lot and other stores along those lines.

I'm a big fan of what my mom calls "junk stores"--places stocked with factory seconds, closeouts,…read moreclearance items, etc. On that note, Shopper's Choice does not disappoint. You'll find great prices here on a variety of things, but you'll never quite know what you might find until you walk through the doors . . . which, I guess, is part of the fun. That said, there are a few categories where you can expect to find good offerings at Shopper's Choice. These include: * Kitchen Items--There's always at least a full aisle, mostly stocked with brand-name tools, * Tools--Small hand tools, painting supplies, etc. Definitely better prices than Home Depot--especially for things that you might use only once. * Blinds--They always seem to have a large selection of window blinds. Worth checking here before going to Target. * Greeting cards--An extensive rack, usually 2 for $1 . . . which is about right since they just end up in the recycling bin 30 seconds after they're read. * Toys--Shoppers Choice must have done a huge buyout, because they have a seemingly endless supply of Melissa & Doug toys at about half the price they sell for at boutique toy stores or even department stores. * Picture Frames--A nice, varied selection of mostly high-quality frames. Prices about half that of Target. All in all, a "junk store" I like. Good prices and I usually find something I need.

This is a place where WNY shines and a great gathering place for everyone. I see so many people when we go and catch up when you don't see them for awhile. Parking is a bit quirky, but we park across the street and walk on over. Make sure you come and see what WNY farmers have to offer.

Very small and disorganized. Not a lot hanging on the racks, and there were no prices on them. One…read moreof the cooler pieces here were some funky disco boots way up on a high shelf in the corner collecting dust, no visible price tag or size which would likely help them sell. There were a lot of clothes/miscellaneous things in reusable shopping bags stuffed underneath the racks...unclear if shoppers are expected to dig through them. Lots of dust on the floor, got all over my skirt when I bent down to look. There is a bus parked outside that has more items for sale, but again totally disorganized and tons of junk shoved under the racks. This store has potential but the owner needs to put more effort into curating, pricing, organizing, and cleaning.

Because she knew we were coming, the owner, Wendy, placed shoes on the sidewalk that led us right to her place. The store itself is small, but that belies the amazement within. There are vintage hats, clothing, jewelry, and all sorts of accessories in this shop. I kept going up to the counter and buying more. My one friend found a beautiful lucite purse and bought it for a song. This store has everything a vintage fashion enthusiast could want! Wendy is a total doll and was so excited to have us. I'd go back solely to see her! The purchases I made there I'll always keep in my heart because they are so lovely. I highly, highly recommend you visit this store and tell Wendy I sent you!

The great thing about this Plaza is that there are some excellent food options both in the plaza and near it. For example there is the wonderful Almaza grill with the greatest Lebanese rotisserie chicken you will ever taste. And Johnny C's has the best chicken finger Sub in town and a lot of other amazing deli sandwiches. Not to mention Grill Kabob for a wonderful Pakistani Curry although slightly pricey. Greens is just down the road with excellent create your own pizza and wonderful, healthy create your own salads.

There's lots here - Walmart, SAMs, Bed Bath Beyond, and my fav, Qdoba. They have lots more too. It also keeps getting new stores.

Sunglass hut was terrible. I tried asking a question about sunglasses when I realized both employees were stone faced watching me.

Decent members of society that want to enjoy a day shopping do not need to be harassed in this manner. I guess it's true that the crime rate at this outlet mall has risen drastically.
