BUFFALO, N.Y. — Wegman Cos. Inc. – not connected to the supermarket chain – has targeted a former Tonawanda retail outlet for its first Buffalo Niagara project.
The Rochester company plans to buy and renovate the former Gander Mountain store at 880 Young St. into a climate-controlled self-storage facility.
Plans approved by the Town of Tonawanda Planning Board on April 6 show the 72,764-square-foot store would be converted into 450 interior-storage units. Seven exterior, climate-controlled units are planned for heavy-equipment storage along with a secure parking area for RVs, boats and antique cars.
