Our small business spotlight of the month goes to Walker Bros. & Monroe Jewelers located at 84 Webster Street!

Walker Bros & Monroe Jewelers, known as the Antique Clock Doctor, just hit their 100 year mark! Jay Soemann, who has been in the business for 51 years says, “Our 3rd-generation family business has been a proud part of Webster Street in North Tonawanda, the oldest shop on the street! Known nationwide as the “Antique Clock Doctor,” we repair and restore clocks from all over the country, all in-house.”

Jay was also the Webster Street Merchant’s Association president for 41 years and still remains involved.

With Shannon (21 years) and Troy (13 years) on their small but mighty team, they’re keeping quality craftsmanship and community spirit ticking for years to come. ❤️

We broke ground on 2 projects in North Tonawanda! 🚲 Yesterday, we announced the extension of the Erie Canal Bike Path from Mayor’s Park to our Botanical Gardens! Today, we announced the Downtown Improvements for Smart Growth 2.0 which involves a clock tower, updated landscaping, and improved sidewalks. (This will be at the triangular green space right outside of Webster’s Bistro) construction should start soon on both. 🚧

Incredible victory for North Tonawanda!

🎉 BIG NEWS! 🎉 The Riviera Theatre just won the Expansion category at Buffalo Business First's Brick by Brick Awards, and we couldn't be more thrilled for them!

Their incredible $3.8 million project is a true standout, transforming an underutilized building into a stunning new front-of-house space. Think: a brand new box office, an expanded concession area with a 40-foot bar, efficient prep space, modern offices, and updated bathrooms!

We're so proud to have played a part in this vital and impactful project for the North Tonawanda community. What an amazing achievement!
