Yes. Vidler's 5 & 10 is OPEN!

To dispel a lot of rumors and mis-information:

Vidler’s is NOT closing.

We are open and continuing our regular hours, 7 days a week, receiving shipments of new merchandise daily and it’s business as usual.

However, Cliff and I are ready to retire. That’s the simple answer. There’s no next generation to pass the torch to. The business is in great shape and it’s time for new owner(s) to carry on the legacy.

Yes, the family does own the buildings. Because of financial structure, taxes etc. the buildings and business must be treated as two separate entities. But we hope they will stay joined as we enter a new chapter.

We are in no rush, the business is NOT in distress, and we expect Vidler’s will be a part of East Aurora’s Main Street for many years to come!

Serenova Family Health NP wants you to remember that wellness isn't always about what your eating or the exercises you're doing. It's also about taking time for yourself.

Small business. Big reasons to stay cyber safe.

With an uptick in local cyber scams and phishing attempts, the Chamber is sharing five practical tips from member Loptr LLC for Cybersecurity Awareness Month:

📱 Use an authenticator app for sign-in codes. Never share a code with someone who calls you.

💵 Verify new payment instructions. If a vendor’s bank details change, call a number you already have on file before paying.

🔗 Check unexpected links. Even messages from familiar email accounts can be scams. Contact the sender by phone or text before clicking.

🛡️ Secure the personal accounts behind your business’s social pages. Turn on two-step sign-in and add a second trusted admin.

🔎 Inspect your posted QR codes. Look for stickers covering the originals, and scan your codes regularly to confirm they reach the correct website.

A few simple habits can help protect your business, your customers, and your reputation. Thank you to East Aurora-based Loptr LLC for sharing its expertise!
