Penzy's used to send me catalogues with coupons for free things. There were no stores here at the time, and i would have had to pay s & h so i threw away the coupon. I called to tell them to open a local store.

Awesome! I'm almost out of saffron and was looking at their site the other day. Thankfully I held off buying it - now I don't have to pay shipping! They have great saffron, by the way. Thanks for letting us know!

Nice!
Here is the inside of the one on Elmwood Ave. in Buffalo: http://flic.kr/p/aQBu3x

Really? 'Cause the spot that was blocked off for it last week, with big "coming soon, Penzeys!" decals on it, was downstairs, just down the hall from the Johnny Rockets.

@KB: You're right -- it's the lower level. I called and confirmed. Fixed. Thanks.
(The Crossgates online map has the store listed on upper level. And I must have misheard when calling this morning.)
