The Tile Shop Introduces the Buffalo Area to a New Tile Retail Experience
BUFFALO, N.Y., May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tile Shop (www.tileshop.com) opened the doors to its newest location on May 4, 2012 at 3896 Union Road, Cheektowaga, NY 14225. The Tile Shop is excited to introduce the Buffalo community to the finest tile found throughout the world.

The Cheektowaga store will employ 8-12 seasoned tile sales consultants and will be managed by Jesse Anderson, a Tile Shop employee of three years. "The Tile Shop offers a showroom experience that is unique to the tile industry, with fully tiled display vignettes and a highly trained staff it is unlike any other tile retailer. We are able to help you visualize tile and transform your home, as well as teach you how to save a lot of money by installing tile yourself. It is an exciting place to work, and it is exciting to share with the Buffalo community," says Anderson.

Although The Tile Shop works with tile professionals, contractors and designers, The Tile Shop was founded on the idea to provide do-it-yourselfers with the finest natural stones and ceramics. The Cheektowaga store offers FREE do-it-yourself classes every Saturday starting at 9:30 a.m. Each class is open to the public and no registration is required. That means you can be a tiling pro by noon.

The Tile Shop's retail locations, including the new Cheektowaga store, feature tiled vignettes. The small mock-ups of rooms spark inspiration in homeowners and provide their imagination a new avenue to become reality. The interactive vignettes help showcase the wide variety of stone and tile materials available at The Tile Shop, which includes:

• Natural stone (granite, slate, travertine, marble, stone mosaics, onyx, sandstone);
• Floor tile (ceramics, porcelain, stone);
• Wall tile (ceramic, backsplash, stone, metal, subway tile, architectural facings);
• Mosaics (stone, porcelain, glass);
• Accents (basins, switchplates);
• Tools and supplies to install and maintain stone and tile; and
• Pro-Heat systems to warm tile and stone floors.

The Tile Shop continues to grow by staying true to their principles and exceeding expectations. The Cheektowaga location is the eighth Tile Shop location in New York and is located less than 10 miles east of Buffalo. The Tile Shop has a total of 61 stores across the United States.
