Dr. Ihenko expressed his vision, saying, "The East Side of Buffalo has been underserved for far too long, and we are here to change that. Our goal is to offer a one-stop solution for office supplies, shipping, printing, and packing needs while creating a space where people feel welcomed and valued.”

The community has warmly embraced the UPS Store since its doors opened last December. Residents are expressing their gratitude for the convenience this new establishment brings to their doorstep. Whether it's assisting a small business owner with packaging solutions or helping a student with printing services, the owners are dedicated to ensuring every customer leaves with a smile.

Kelechi Chillis-Ihenko, who manages the day-today operations of the store, stated, "We take immense pride in being part of the East Side community. Every day, we have the privilege of meeting incredible people and helping them find solutions to their challenges. It's an honor."

The UPS Store on Broadway Street in Buffalo is not just a business; it's a testament to the power of comunity-driven entrepreneurship. Dr. Uzo Ihenko and Kelechi Chillis-Ihenko have not only filled a crucial void in their neighborhood but have also demonstrated the positive impact that local businesses can have on a community.
