Calamar celebrates 4,000 s/f Matt's Food Mart opening

NYS senator George Maziarz, assemblyman John Ceretto, Niagara County legislative chairman William Ross, town supervisor Robert Cliff and local dignitaries joined Matty's and Calamar, to hold a grand opening celebration to commemorate the opening of Matty's Food Mart in The Woodlands Corporate Center. The new 4,000 s/f convenience store, Sunoco gas station and Dunkin Donuts are positioned at the entrance of The Woodlands Corporate Center East on Shawnee Rd. The store represents one of the first retail components to be established in the mixed-use development owned and managed by Calamar. Matty's Food Mart includes a deli that produces freshly prepared sandwiches and gourmet pizza as well as Dunkin Donuts who offers both in-store and drive-thru service. Daily specials are created every day and have proven to be a big hit. The Woodlands Corporate Center is one of Western New York's largest mixed-used developments. The 120-acre mixed use park is comprised of office, flex, medical, industrial, retail and residential, with 300 senior apartments and private patio homes. "We couldn't be happier with the addition of Matty's to our park" said Kenneth Franasiak, Calamar chairman and CEO "It's the first of several planned retail developments and we believe it will service our park and neighboring community very well. Population trends for Wheatfield have increased substantially with one of the top growth rates in all of Western New York. The store's frontage on Shawnee Road near Niagara Falls Boulevard provides strong visibility for the several thousand residents within the area. It will be a genuine asset for all our commercial tenants, our three senior apartment communities within the park, the 30+ patio homes and the surrounding community as a whole. The response has been very positive and as a regular to the deli, I can vouch for how delicious their food is!"
