The National retailer J. C. Penney purchased its own store in the Boulevard Mall. J. C. Penney had been leasing for nearly four decades. This Retail Shopping Mall is located at 730 Alberta Drive in Amherst, New York.

This Mall has Banana Republic, Champs Sports, Foot Locker, Gap, Hollister Co., La Rosa Pizzeria, M & T Commercial Bank, Radio Shack and many others leasing space.
