CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — There is some good news for shoppers eager to once again have that mall experience ... sort of.
The Walden Galleria announced Thursday it is beginning to open in accordance with the New York State Phase 1 reopening guidelines. The Cheektowaga shopping mecca has been closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Guests are still not allowed in the mall at this time. These reopening plans went into effect Tuesday.
