For the most part, their own Walden Gallery has pretty much everything buyers could need or want.

One of the largest in the country, “The Galleria” (as most of us know it) has the usual mall classics like department stores Macy’s and JCPenney, popular fashion retailers like H&M and Urban Outfitters and technology stores like Apple and Best Buy.

You will also find plenty of restaurants and entertainment options for families such as Dave & Busters and Urban Air Adventure Park. They have pretty much everything you would want to find in a mall.

However, the Galleria is missing a few things we wish it had (or still had). Upscale grocery store Premier Gourmet closed the doors to its massive 5,300-square-foot store in the mall last April, disappointing fans of the chic retailer.

Additionally, the Walden Galleria lacks many popular retailers that Buffalo shoppers would love to find there, such as Ulta Beauty and Banana Republic. So while the Galleria is one of the better malls in New York State, it is not perfect.

However, a store that closed years ago at Walden Galleria is returning to the massive mall this fall, and many of us here in Western New York State will soon be hit with a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Reopening of Abercrombie & Fitch in the Walden Galleria

A famous clothing retailer that we spent our hard-earned allowance on during high school is returning to the Galleria in a big way.

After the closure in 2021 Abercrombie & Fitch is coming back to the mall and taking over the space where the Microsoft Store used to be on the first floor between Zara and Free People. According to Buffalo Business FirstAbercrombie’s new store will be a whopping 70,000 square feet and is scheduled to open this November.

Abercrombie has experienced ups and downs in popularity over the years, along with a fair amount of trouble. The brand has often been criticized for its revealing advertising in stores and catalogs, as well as accusations of racial discrimination, which were detailed in an insightful article. Netflix documentary.

However, the controversial brand has recently made a major comeback and, after a rebranding, is now popular with both Generation Z and the Millennials who grew up with its clothes.

Regardless of whether you wear Abercrombie clothes today or not, you have to admit: it will be nice to smell the scent of the legendary cologne wafting through the halls of the Walden Galleria again.
