N.F.’s Sheraton welcomes TGIF

What has long been rumored, concerning the primary restaurant and sports bar inside the newly-christened Sheraton Hotel in Niagara Falls, is now official.

Michael DiCienzo, Canadian Niagara Hotels vice president, said the Old Falls Street Sports Bar is being renovated and changed over to a TGIFriday’s restaurant and sports bar. TGIF’s will make its Cataract City debut in late June, DiCienzo said.

“We considered a number of brands, but we think this works the best,” DiCienzo said. “This fits best in terms of families staying at the hotel and those looking for a nice, casual place to eat.”

WWE ride and store closing March 31, 2011

As you may have seen, Drafty left a comment letting us know that the WWE store (including the ride) will be closing on March 31, 2011. I was by the store today so I stopped in. The store is almost empty, with only a few racks left with things on them. What is left is on sale. There are small signs that say that the store will be closing on March 31, 2011. There was only 1 person working, and he didn’t seem terribly interested that I was there, so I didn’t bother asking him any questions.

It actually surprised me when the store opened in the first place. The WWE (formerly WWF) had already passed its peak in popularity before the store opened. The only time I ever saw it busy was when they had a wrestler there for an appearance. And of course we all know how the ride was often not open. I must admit, I never went on it, so I don’t know what it was like.

Does anyone out there know what happened? A few questions…

Why is the store closing?
Did CNH lose the rights, or give them up?
Will the ride re-open as something else, or are they giving up on it entirely?
Any idea what is going in that space?

If you don’t want to leave a comment, feel free to email me directly.

New downtown Sheraton celebrates official opening

From the Niagara Gazette:

A family with a long history in Niagara Falls hotels is expanding back into the Cataract City and putting a new face and name on a familiar Third Street fixture.

Under the kind of sunny skies that herald the return of tourist season to the Falls, the DiCienzo family, the owners of Canadian Niagara Hotels Inc., cut the ribbon on their newest New York property, the newly rechristened Sheraton at the Falls.

Bankruptcy Filings Drop

From WKBW Channel 7 in Buffalo:

A popular Niagara Falls, NY hotel is changing hands. A report in today’s Business First says Canadian Niagara Hotels will buy The Crowne Plaza Hotel on 3rd Street. Last March, a New York City investment trust bid $21 million for the hotel during a court-ordered foreclosure auction. It has been marketing the hotel ever since. Canadian Niagara Hotels has properties in both the U.S. and Canada. The hotel will remain open as it changes hands.
