More than 1,400 Tour Bus Groups Can’t be Wrong. Come See What Draws Them Here!

This year, 2025, the Made in America Store will celebrate its 15th Anniversary. Inspired by love of country, our hospitality team has welcomed thousands of tourists from across the U.S. every year. The vast majority are motor coach groups who drive to or through Buffalo Niagara to see all our region has to offer, or on their way to destinations in Upstate New York – from Niagara Falls to the Adirondacks.

Some are traveling to sites in Ontario, Quebec and the Canadian Maritimes. Others are headed to New England. They all have one thing in common: they want to see the only brick & mortar store in the U.S. to sell only 100% American Made Products.

We are closing in on 1,500 tour bus visits since opening in 2010. Your group – whether you are a member of a military reunion, senior center travel club, fraternal organization or faith-based touring group -- is invited to join our valued community of happy tour bus customers. We’ll help you plan.

Why? Because China is a long drive to work!

That’s why Mark Andol, who founded the Made in America Store back in 2010, turned his passion into purpose. A welder by trade, and an entrepreneur who opened General Welding & Fabricating two decades before that, Andol was moved to give Americans, and tourists from around the world, a place to buy American made products. It’s the working model of the adage “If you build it, they will come.”

It’s a general store for the 21st century.
