AM&A's

Adam, Meldrum & Anderson Company (AM&A's) was a department store chain based in Buffalo, New York that operated from 1867 until its closure in 1995. Founded by Robert B. Adam, William Anderson, and William Meldrum, it became one of the city’s leading retailers, noted for its flagship Main Street store, elaborate holiday window displays, and the early adoption of electric power in the 1880s. At its peak, AM&A’s operated suburban branches across Western New York, ran its own bank, and maintained a large warehouse, before declining in the late 20th century and being acquired by The Bon-Ton in 1994, which retired the brand the following year.
