Tugby’s Bazaar opens

Niagara Falls has a new locally owned gift shop filled with apparel, crafts and ephemera with many items locally made.

The store, in the former TReC Center at 616 Niagara St. has everything from mystery novels by Niagara University Professor Emeritus David Brown to chocolates from Niagara’s Honeymoon Sweets and even locally roasted New Day Coffee.

It will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Nico Santangelo, dressed as Mr. Tugby himself, will be there on a daily basis along with Mandi Hornung.

Mandi and Nico both work for Nick Hurd of Niagara Falls Adventure Tours.
