Do you want to know the secret to happiness? It's shopping local.

When you support a local business, you are putting money directly into the hands of your neighbors, and we cannot stress enough just how valuable that is to them.

In turn, they invest that money into their cottage hobby, which turns into a cottage industry. This money is spread throughout the community from business to business, and neighbor to neighbor. This revitalizes your neighborhood, and brings prosperity to your community.

Take a look at Tugby's. Our store sits right here on Niagara Street, which has yearned for a renaissance for years. Look at it: it's finally happening, and it's because of you.

Your purchase doesn't go to a big corporation. That soap you bought? It's going to some wonderful women who work hard to make the most perfect hand-poured soaps just for you. That candle came from a couple that wanted to make truly clean, wonderfully scented, long lasting candles. That T-shirt you bought for your kid means that a father of three gets to buy Christmas gifts for his.

Prosperity is not built in board meetings at 3pm, but at kitchen tables at 3am.

When that prosperity surrounds you, there is no greater feeling.

It is nothing short of pure happiness.

By all accounts, the earliest souvenirs of Niagara Falls were those made by the Haudenosaunee living in the area, who sold their beadwork to the European tourists visiting the Falls. So sought after were these handmade mementos that when Thomas Tugby decided to open his curiosity shop in 1854, it was called the Six Nations Store.

This store would transform over the years into the Mammoth Bazaar we all know, but we can never forget that the entire souvenir trade of Niagara was built on those Haudenosaunee (primarily Tuscarora) women that started it all. That is why we are proud to feature pieces made by local Indigenous artisans in our new Bazaar.

Come and visit us here at 616 Niagara Street. There’s something for everyone at Tugby’s Bazaar!

Every day here at Tugby's, we uncover another forgotten piece of our history, and today was MASSIVE!

To say that our jaws hit the floor when we saw this print advertisement for the International Hotel with "New Parlors on the Rapids" is an understatement. In fact, we have been staring at a blatantly obvious clue for months.

As previously mentioned here, Tugby's building was demolished and rebuilt at some point between 1854 (when it opened) and 1885 (when it closed). We had presumed that it was most likely around 1880 when the "International River Parlor" opened.

What none of us bothered to consider was that the International Hotel sat immediately behind Tugby's since before the Bazaar ever existed (and would continue to sit in that spot well after Tugby's was shut down). We never put the pieces together until this moment: it was the *International's* River Parlor.

From this, we now know that Tugby's Bazaar was in the bottom level of the International River Parlor, which in 1881 had been spun off into the Goat Island Hotel. After the creation of Niagara Falls State Park in 1885, the building was demolished. This means that the iconic "Tugby's Bazaar" building stood for less than a decade.

Little discoveries like these make us realize why bringing back Tugby's is so important to our community. There is such a rich history here in Niagara, and sometimes the best way forward is by looking back!
