While many malls across the country are seeing stores and restaurants pack up and leave, The Walden Galleria has announced that they're doing the opposite. They will be bringing in a long list of new retailers and restaurants soon.

Joel Cady, General Manager at Walden Galleria, sent a press release to announce the opening of a bunch of restaurants including some ethnic foods like Thai and a full Japanese BBQ restaurant.

“From an authentic Yemeni coffee experience to a full-scale Japanese BBQ restaurant, and from a reimagined American Eagle to a world-class nail salon and spa — these additions demonstrate the strength of Walden Galleria as a destination and our ongoing commitment to delivering unique experiences to our guests and Western New York Community.” - Joel Cady, Walden Galleria General Manager

As mentioned, there will also be a full renovation happening to American Eagle. They'll move to a temporary space while the renovations are being done.
