What a great store! It is getting expensive when you want to get the kids a fun toy. There are cute, fun and unique gifts throughout the store.
Omg I love it. First time thereBought alot of stuff, an enjoyed every moment. It is huge inside! Cashiers in front of store where not to friendly. But all in all it was great...
This is an amazing store with two floors of nostalgic and old fashioned charm! There is something for every room in your home and for everyone you know. So much like an Woolworths from decades ago on a more personal scale. It felt like a step back in time. The store is arranged in a very sweet and pretty way with the sections and different rooms containing certain items. Love the wood finishing, red and white stipes and the bins and display boxes with various treasures! Got a present for my daughters teacher and plenty of ideas for other important people! We will be coming back soon to do our holiday shopping! Love how they have the childrens fun stuff on the top floor.
What an amazing store. Get ready to be tired after looking through everything they have. The staff is beyond friendly and answers any question you may have qhile in the store. We love supporting and shopping local and today was extra special as we finally got to go to vidlers. This is a must stop and see kind of place. Get ready to see things you wont see anywhere else. Great gag gift ideas along with so many wonderful gift ideas too and stuff for your home or the kids you name it they probably have it! The store is huge!
Eclectic mix of everything. From gag gifts to office supplies to camping gear and everything in between. Fun to look around and reminded me of Wall Drug Store, a tourist stop in South Dakota. Definitely worth a stop.
I really enjoyed my visit here and it has a variety of fun things. I remember the old wood floors in the store from my childhood. The drawback is that there is very little room for a walker let alone a wheelchair. This store is not handicapped accessible at all!
Really fun, so much to see, I spent two hours and I know I didnt see everything. I bought a bunch of things that I needed and wanted. I enjoyed seeing toys and candy I have not had in years. Oh yeah while I was there I saw Kevin ONiel talking with a manager. I snuck a picture.
I am a guy, so roaming around vidlers its not my idea of a great day however my wife loves the place. Endless rooms of merchandise that women seem to love. We cannot go to East Aurora without her spending at least an hour looking at all the housewares, fabrics and knick knacks. Fiddlers is set up like an old-time country store and although I see its charm and I gave it five stars I would never go there by myself but my wife will never let me avoid to visit when we are in East Aurora
Id compare Vidlers to similar stores, but there are no similar stores. It is a well cared for, customer oriented, shot of 1955 where am I. If youve never been, dont go with expectations, just go to enjoy the discovery of shopping in as quaint an environment as it comes. The world tried to move on without Vidlers, and against all odds, Vidlers won!
If youve never been to Vidlers, youre missing out! Its like a walk through a vintage five and dime store. Theres so much to see. I would probably miss saying everything they have. Theres kitchen gizmos and gadgets, craft supplies galore. Candles, cards, games and toys, fabrics and yarn. Best of all, the prices cant be beat. Theres an obviance as you walk through the store, you wont find anywhere else. Come experience this for yourself, youll love it.
Vidlers is an old style 5 and dime store in East Aurora, NY Southeast of Buffalo. The city is in a time warp from the early 1960s.Inside the store are assorted candies in individual glass jars with lids just like in the old movies.
This place is HUGE! And they have such a large selection of really cool stuff! I highly recommend eating lunch or something before going shopping here, especially if youve never been before. There is literally something for everyone in there.
Excellent customer service! Fun place to take a 6-year-old on their birthday :)
Defiantly an interesting place to visit. The store is huge and has any small trinket or gadget you couple possibly want from toys, to kitchen tools, to holiday decorations, candy, etc. You could get lost in this store for hours. Also they have cashiers scattered everywhere throughout the store which is nice and convenient.
Hadnt been here in ages. But it was a great visit! Bought a bunch of gifts! Actually bought some gifts that I had already purchased on Amazon, and Vidlers had them cheaper! I will be returning the Amazon purchases! Lesson learned.... Shop local!!
The staff was very helpful to accommodate me with a handicap. I would definitely go again. Found many things that were to my liking
You can spend an easy 2 hours - great place for awesome gifts - even had some things from my childhood ( late 50s)
Very nice place to browse. You always find something different and useful. I love going in this store.
Vidlers has EVERYTHING!! This is the perfect place to get Christmas shopping done for all kinds of friends and family. Even if I cant find what Im looking for at Walmart or Amazon, Vidlers has it! Awesome store and staff are always super friendly and nice.
The prices have really gone up. :( Still a good find and lots of good stuff but the prices sometimes make you just want to order from somewhere else.
Went in for a few housewarming gifts. Found exactly what I wanted, charcuterie utensils and a deliciously scented blueberry candle!
Such a fun store,anything you need,is under one roof.love the old fashion candy dept.
I live in Illinois, but I love traveling to new places via road trips. Im constantly researching to find fun, unique, unusual or artsy establishments. I was blown away by this store. I absolutely LOVE it!!! And its huge!!! Lol!! Not only does it incorporate a penny candy store, but it also has Vidler on the roof!! Nice touch👍👍👍
This was a Christmas gift for the whole family on our first visit the US in over two years. 2 had to stay at home because one child tested Covid positive. Customer services were hopelessly slow in responding to our dilemma. Excuses to my son who booked the trip were pathetic. Otherwise the exhibition was impressive.
This place rocks. Just like the stores i remember as a kid. All of the toys and games i remember from my childhood including Gumby and Pokey! You’ll spend at least an hour browsing.
I think Im one of the few people that doesnt see the appeal of Vidlers. Not a fan of most of what they have honestly, and they have a WIDE selection. Although their little soda bottle selection was nice.That said, its very big and has plenty to browse through, the employees are very nice, and its convenient/interesting to go from area to area without having to go outside again. Probably worth a visit if youve never been and want to see what all the buzz is about. You might even find something you like, even though I mostly didnt.
Vidlers is a magic place. A variety store like they used to be. You can get just about anything you want here. Hundreds of different candies. Crafts and toys and knick knacks galore. And this time of year the Christmas stuff starts to appear. Ornaments of glass not plastic. Nutcrackers of all shapes and sizes. Be sure you have plenty of time to see everything on both floors. You will love it. ❤
Its a cool store to walk around in, you never know what you might find
Since We see the store with a big man in roof we are atracted to be in.Inside we can see variations of products.There are thousands options!Really incredible place AN OLD AND TRADITIONALGerson G Machado - from Brazil
Its always fun to pop into Vidlers. Theres something new everytime. You can park in the back and enter at ground level or you can park in the front, on Main Street, and enter at street level. This makes the store multiple levels, while also spanning three to four typical storefronts.As you wander from room to room, you will see people from different age groups browsing through a large variety of local flair, crafting, baking, candles, clothing, toys, candy, novelty items and more! Its a fun and unique experience.
If you are not from the area and visiting it is a must stop!!! I enjoy stopping by, I love the old floors ,the popcorn 10 cent machine ,and overall charm of the place. Fun place for the whole family! Kids will love the toy selection and candy selection which by the way is still in its original location.
Lots of old fashioned toys and games, plus kitchen gadgets I love this store, you can find a gift for any age group in this store.
So many cool things within all 4 sections and the basement. Even toys you dont find anymore. Definitely worth a visit. Literally a little of everything.
If youre in the area, its a must stop. Something for everyone! Like a Ruth Bader Ginsburg car air freshener, golden girls clue, or the old Ted Williams favorite Moxie Soda.
A true buffalo classic. If youre visiting from out of town, you have to make it here for a stop. And if youre from the area and havent gone yet, then theres really no excuse
Love this store. Well worth the 2 hour drive.
Larger than it looks. Classic old store. If you are looking for unusual knick knacks, this is the place. The variety of goods was amazing. Pricing was reasonable. Plan for an hour just to makr sure you dont miss anything.Lots of helpful and friendly staff.Worth a stop for a throwback to pre-Walmart days.
So much fun. Always find a treasure or two there.
Anyone going near East Aurora has got to make a stop in the iconic and lovable Vidlers where you can find everything for everyone in the family
This store has everything, I love it kitchen gadgets my favorite.
Its like stepping back in time! First off, allot yourself at least 2 hours when you venture thru the doors. We came 40mins before closing and we didnt get to see it all which was a bummer! This place is like going back 75 years--they have everything including a vintage popcorn machine, penny candy and just about everything from A-Z. Its truly worth your time to stop in if youre ever in the area!
So quaint, cool old fashioned 5& dime. Unique items, gifts, anything you can imagine.
Cool items. Location was good. Staff was ok.
Vidlers is always crowded but fun. Lots of interesting things to look at and buy!
Great place to pick up random cool stuff pies cookies toys masks xmas kitchen u name it they prob got it what a great time walking around very friendly staff !!
A super cool store either just about anything you can think of. From toys to kitchen utensils, clothing to puzzles. The most unique store I’ve been to in years. Don’t forget the candy section in the front of the store!
Huge selection of products of nearly every imaginable type. Prices are generally reasonable.
What a fun place to visit. Give yourself extra time to explore cause they have everything. You can just imagine what an old five and dime was like - here, you feel like you re stepping back in time. Come and feel like a kid agsin!!!
A kitschy old school 5 & dime that brings you into a time warp from yesteryear. It reminds me a little of Philadelphia Sales in Binghamton in my formative years, only much classier. Excellent selection of knickknacks, toys, local gifts, kitchen gadgets, unique rare bottles of pop, and candy.
Visiting Vidlers was an annual tradition for Christmas. We would come other times when were were in town, but always small business Saturday. This year we were turned away do to my medical condition. I am saddened by this experience and will not be visiting again. #Notfacefriendly
Always a great place to visit while in East Aurora. Plenty of cool things to see and buy. My favorite...Buffalo Wing flavored soda!
Bought the most stuff I never knew I needed , very cool store
Just like I remembered! Wood floors and rubber chicken hatching an egg.
Fun to walk around and look at all the stuff they have.
Id never been in here before the other weekend but I hear it is a East Aurora must-visit. Very cute. You could spend quite a while browsing all the sections!
Always.. a place to go when we go to East Aurora..We found our scavenger hunt item there too. !!
Really an Interesting store. you can look around forever and the things from back in the day, especially the weird little toys and cool candy are plentiful.My only complaint is that they are very overpriced, wanted $10 for a small metal airplane toy about 2 inches long that was really just something youd set on a shelf.
It was fun to go back after not having been there since I was a Child, but its the Holidays, so a lot of things were picked over and out of stock.
A place where everyone in your group can find something. Whether young or old. A definite destination to have on your list for western New York.
Great place with lots of items to purchase. It has expanded a lot since I was a young girl when I lived here. My husband loves shopping in the store, and he shops here when we are in town visiting family. The employees are all very helpful and polite.
Best country store in Western NY , well worth the weekend drive to visit , Vidlers has everything
Crazy big place! Each room leading into the next, you could get lost in there! Well organized into departments without feeling like a department store. There is a long set of stairs to go up for the most selection. I didnt see another way to get up there for the disabled.
Love this store. Everything from.years gone by. Amazing!
Took some outside pictures of Vidlers 5 & 10 in East Aurora, NY which isnt too far away from Buffalo. Vidlers is considered the largest remaining 5 & 10 store in the world!
Amazing throwback for candies you may have thought gone forever. Had 3 I bought 55 years ago. Also, many unique gift items you wish existed. I recommend a visit as theyay have it.
I could spend HOURS in this store! Everyone is always so pleasant and visiting is such an enjoyable experience. I always find trinkets in here that I didnt even know I needed.
Where else can you get a hackey sack, hot sauce, a calendar, a Newtons Cradle, notebooks, popcorn, and 5 dinosaur cookie cut out shapes in the same place?5 stars.Its a little cramped, but it doesnt take away any stars. The only big problem is that it isnt closer to my house.
Spent way way way too much time and money here! But I love this place!
This whimsical, fun and nostalgic jewel of the neighborhood is like nowhere else in the world. When visiting East Aurora take a step back in time and make Vidler’s the #1 stop on your shopping trip down Main Street. It‘s impossible not to smile from ear to ear after spending a few minutes in here rummaging through the vintage and novelty items. Vidler’s is a nationally recognized, family owned and run 5 and 10 store. They have been open for over 90 years and the store has also been the backdrop of some made for tv movies. The inside and exterior are very retro and have a 1960’s vibe.I would suggest that you block out at least an hour for your visit to go through the large space and all the wares. They opened in the 1930’s they have expanded several times so the store itself is huge, taking over 4 storefronts and has 2 floors.Right away you will notice this is a one of a kind place that has something fun for everyone. When approaching Vidler’s you can’t miss the red and white awning and the large scale figure “Vidler on the Roof”. I remember coming as a child and the essence of the store and product offering is the same. It has been carefully maintained throughout the years. Upon entering you will notice Vidler’s is well organized and set up like a department store with unique product offerings. They have a variety of nostalgic, seasonal and modern items including games, toys, crafts, kitchen, garden, home goods and candies. Make sure to have a dime on hand for the popcorn vending machine.I love the candy, specialty Buffalo items and throwback games. These things make me think about my childhood and a time when tangible games were a thing before technology took over. If you have little ones and some time to burn give them each a few bucks and bring them here. Watch them explore the candies and decide how to spend their dollars. They will never forget this fun experience.
Its always fun to go 5o Vidlers. Surprisingly I did not purchase anything today but that doesnt mean that I wont 8n the future. This place has a little bit of everything. Take your time and enjoy the experience.
Must stop shop in East Aurora! Great place to find a special gift, toy or sweet treat. The staff is helpful, friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a fun shopping experience.
Its been a long time since we visited but it was worth the wait! We found many unique items as well as everyday staples. The staff were extremely friendly.
Great place to reminisce when you were a kid playing with the toys that a ,5 & 10 store has.Then reality sets i n & you realize that your getting really oldAnd grand kids whant to go for ice cream...Amen.
Awesome place with so many things to browse and purchase. I love the selection of items ranging from household items to games and toys. The selection of candy is awesome as well. I love Crunchy bars and the funny mints and joke gifts too. Worth a visit or two every year as you can never see everything in the store there is so much.
A must visit for a maze of tasteful and useful and delightful toys games kitchen supplies and gifts and cards and clothing. Historic and be sure the kids ride the galloping electric pony!
An East Aurora, NY fixture for many years. A traditional five and ten where youll find merchandise from your childhood and some new things you never knew existed. Theres free parking in the municipal lot behind it.Be sure to go outside in front of the store. The village has many dining and shopping opportunities that you will want to visit. Also...... look up to roof of Vidlers and youll see a whimsical statue of Ed Vidler sitting atop Main street with his memorable smile wearing his apron.
If youve never been to Vidlers, youre missing an experience. Its a staple of East Aurora. Plan on at least an hour if its your first time.
All kinds of things you havent seen in years super cool
This is one of those hugely hyped places that many people get excited about, but when you get there you realize it’s just a bunch of made in China cheap stuff. If you’re looking for a kitchen gadget this is definitely the place to go, but compared to other five and dime stores across the state, there’s not really anything special here.
Very large store so much to see here and an interest for everyone. If you are in the area it definitely is a must see. Support local buy local this is one of those places to do that.
Cute store, larger than one would expect looking at the outside. Nice selection of old time candy. Very nostalgic feel overall. Employees are all kind, they leave you alone unless called upon which is great, in my opinion at least. Very easy to spend over a hundred dollars here, especially in the toy area. Worth it.
Good place to look for odds and ends but it is no five and dime. Very expensive. You can buy alot of things from the dollar store that they sell for 3 times the price.
The place s reputation was built up before I came but it was a disappointment. We have Dollar General and Ollies and more when I go downtown Philly. Lots of old style toys and such but very little novel or new items. However it was crowded with people buying stuff. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Great location for Birthday or Holiday Shopping.I absolutely love it here. So many different items to choose from 👍🏾
Large store, lots of items. Reasonable pricing.
What cool place. You can find anything you need or want, from nostalgic to hard to find. Old fashioned candy, games, crafts, housewares, cooking and on and on! It was so much fun.There are A lot of stairs, but the staff is wonderful about helping anyone who has trouble, and they even have a little elevator if needed. Its so great, be sure you leave enough time in the day to brouse all there is to see. Theres even a Christmas shop. Enjoy your time here, we sure did!
Love Vidlers. Always a great place to go when you need anything random or quick gifts and treats for those you love. The kitchen supplies are probably my favorite!
Fun store with helpful staff. Enjoyed our visit.
Cant believe the variety in this store. Reminds me of Woolworths back in my childhood.
Awesome place!!! So many unique items from kitchen things to home decor to party supplies to vintage candies and toys. Its a great place to find/buy gifts for people. The staff is very helpful and friendly!
First time going to the store found a few things I liked its just a big Woolworths type store most of the things you could buy at a Dollar store only a few oldies that I seen but I wouldnt pay the price for Them somethings were overly priced
Such an awesome place!!!! They have a little bit of everything for everyone, theres just no way to see it all unless you devote an entire day going of all of what they have within those walls!
Love vidlers its like walking back in time so many things they offer
Love to stop here for nostalgic items whenever we are in the area!
Always stop when Im in East Aurora. Love how old fashion store still is open.
One of my favorite places in WNY!! You never know what you might find. Its so fun to explore the whole store! Ive never left without finding something unique to add to our house
Always a fun place to visit. 2 floors of things you didnt know you needed. Hahaha
I love this place. Its such a throw back to when i was a kid. Whats even better is when you take a local from Buffalo thats never been there before and theyre just in awe.
Went to breakfast with my dad for Fathers day and was headed to Vidlers afterwards thinking they opened at 10 on Sunday. I was wrong. They open at 11 today so I decided to try another day and headed home. Have always loved it in there.
Throwback to an earlier time, the old fashioned American candy sweet shop. Many uncommon or lesser known and available treats. Its also been used as a movie set for a number of hallmark movies.
This store is so much fun to shop at. Huge variety of gifts, novelties and candy.
What a cool place this is ! this is a shopping trip back in time... all the things that you wish stores would carry still ...they have it Vidlers good prices and abundance of helpful staff, it is a museum like, General Store that has two huge floors, the most awesome assortment of kitchen gadgets and goodies nostalgic kids toys ornaments candy you name it you have to go you will be totally amazed! :-)
Awesome place to come wander around (safely and socially distanced). All kinds of cool stuff in a lot of different categories. Home, toys, games, bird stuff, kitchen. Every time we go we find things weve never found anywhere else.
This is one fun eclectic place. Talk about one stop shopping! Be prepared to spend at least a couple hours to see everything.
So much to see and so much fun seeing all the stuff they have. Reminds me of the old Five and Dimes of my youth. Come prepared to browse for awhile. Ill definitely be back!
This was my first time at Vidlers and it was a good one. The store had a little bit of everything. The layout of the store goes through 4 buildings and there is a lower level too. Theres something for everyone.
Vidlers is such a cool place, love that its local! Great for holiday shopping, gifts, craft supplies, toys, art supplies, baked goods, and much, much more!
Great place to shop, something for everyone!
Love it this place and everything and anything to shop for
Always a blast from the past . so fun.
So much fun stuff. Always make a stop when Im back in the area because this store doesnt really exist anywhere else.
Eclectic assortment of unique items. Great place to shop local for gifts
I love the store. I always have. This particular visit though...really bothered me. Those that have been there, know that this business is comprised of many different rooms, on two different levels. It was pretty obvious on this occasion that one the employee that followed us around just about every room in the place, thought I was a thief. The employee was watching us move about the store, using her peripheral vision, pretending to face shelves. It was pretty obvious and very annoying. Its a shame that businesses have to be so concerned about theft. But, businesses should also not be babysitting two adults, age 39 and 37, who are displaying no signs that they are criminals. We were dressed for the neighboring gastropub, as we just celebrated my 39th.
Really big store with lots of stuff you don’t find many places. Cheap popcorn.
Athough I lived in OP through HS I never made it to the store until now, a mere 35 years post HS and now living in Lewiston! I found so many things for granddaughters (Maidianza 12, Serenity 10 & Alizandra 9)& grandson (Aurelius 15)that it was so hard to pick a few for each of them. cant wait to go back and look for more items for ME. I hope they have a lot of laughs with the fake poop!!!
Anyone visiting East Aurora MUST stop by Vidlers! It has something for everyone. I adore the kitchen section, they have every utensil one would ever need. They also have an incredible stock of oil lamp parts and accessories.
Very nice. Had seen there commercials on Buffalo TV and always wanted to visit. If you cant find it there, you dont need it. Many speciality items and hard to find vintage items. Tons of housewares. Stop by and see them at Christmas time as I understand the place is literally a winter wonderland of decoration. Huge selection of penny candy as well. Staff very friendly and very helpful. We definitely will make a drive there (for us its an hour one way) again and again. Prices good but the experience worth any price. Great job to everyone there
An East Aurora staple and nostalgic throwback to the childhood of anyone in the area or beyond, Vidlers is always a pleasant experience. Whether youre simply browsing at their goods or looking for an unusual, little item, this place brings you to a zen place. For anyone visiting East Aurora, its a must-see.
This place is amazing ,vintage candy and Toys etc they even have stuff for outdoors. You Never know what youll find
Always a fun place to shop. If you dont find something you need you arent trying hard enough. This place has been in east aurora forever. People travel from allover to have a look at all the unique items displayed here.
This place is awesome! Any and everything you could need or want and some. Travel back in time checking out toys and candy from your childhood. Prices are good and the employees are very friendly. Plan on spending a bit of time there, because you will lose track of time reminiscing on the good old days as well todays favorites.
Lots of inspiration here! Had fun and staff is very helpful!
Every time my wife & I visit the Buffalo area we almost always head over to Vidlers because they have so many items that are not found in any other stores locally or in our home area of PA.
Great place to pick up some cute gifts, candy or crafts! We love getting some 10 cent popcorn and nostalgia candy as we pick up gifts or souvenirs. We always pop in to see what they have and it brings back wonderful childhood memories.
Always a fun time at Vidlers. Great unique gifts! And I really appreciated the care with which my cashier down near the kitchen supplies wrapped and bagged all my little items. :)
Long standing taste of what every great mom and pop store used to be. Worth the trip from anywhere.
I didnt get to go in person, but went on their web site n their Store page n found it to be so amazing. Its definately on my bucket list of places I must go before I die! Lol
My husband and I recently moved nearby and heard about this place. I was super excited to stop by and see the place. The store is jam packed for sure but has some neat things. I wasnt a huge fan of the prices though. Now the reason for my one star, o went with my children and husband and when we hit the toy section we had an older woman who was a worker follow us around the whole time. She even made a comment about my daughter having a toy on the ground which we were intending to purchase anyways. Anything my kids touched or moved I put back as I do at any store. But yet she still followed us and had a very rude face. I also noticed a Male worker watching too. Due to this we didnt finish exploring g got some things and left. As we were getting in our vehicle we noticed this same clerk decided to take a smoke break and proceeded to continue to watch us get into our vehicle. Normally Id say Im just being paranoid but my husband also noticed these things and unfortunately for us this made for a horrible experience. I wish it had been as fantastic as everyone had made it sound but alas it was not. I guess maybe dont bring kids and you wont be followed and can have a better experience. Even though I wanted to share that with my kids.
They have so many things in so many rooms to buy that it will take you a few hours to see it all!Its well worth the drive to get there no matter how far your driving! Its Great! Enjoy!
Classic East Aurora store, has lots of gifts and toys, and overall a bunch of cool stuff. This store just keeps going on and on too, its very big. From ranch dressing soda to wax melting stamps for those fancy letters, to old school candies they pretty much have everything
Bring back childhood memories or make new memories. Any notion you could want, penny candy, 25 cent horse ride. A true treasure!
Best place to go shopping. It feels like the amazon of instore shopping. You can find things you never knew you wanted
Vidlers shares a special place in the hearts of all from this area. A mix of old time 5 and dime store and a Joan fabrics. If your in the area take a look around itll take you back to when you were a kid.
Super cute iconic 5 & 10
Well they have all kinds of stuff....most people say they have a ton of old time toys and candies from yester-year. They DO have some great candy from back in the day...toys eh not so much.They HAVE quiet a few games but mostly current type...few old paper glider type toys and harmonicas. They do have fun wacky hats and dress up Halloween style makeup but for year round.They have awesomely wide selection of kitchen gadgets! If ya cant find it other places you might find it there! They stock some nostalgic personal hygiene stuff...like items your grandmother may have had stashed away in her medicine cabinet for a several decades...so that had me smiling.They have this vintage popcorn maker and you can get a small bag of popcorn for a dime!! And taste DELICIOUS.The employees are very friendly...and keep smiling regardless of how PACKED it gets in there. Especially on the weekends before Christmas!!Its something different to do. Gets ya outta the house. Plan to be there at least an hour but more like 2+ to really see everything...
SO MUCH GREAT STUFF!!Could and Did spend hours waking through.Made shopping fun for me
Always a great place to visit! So much to take in and browsing is alot of fun. Have to always buy the little bag of popcorn for 10 cents, its tradition. Very helpful staff and also an elevator to assist those who cannot do the stairs. Once you visit, youll always be back. Especially great for the unique gift idea or just done looking for some thing you cant find any place else!
We came from a little over an hour away and were a bit disappointed. Its definitely not a 5 & 10 and its definitely not 4 floors. Little things like a mug are $15+. They have a lot of neat novelties and gadgets. I was personally disappointed with the craft section. I saw the spinning rack of DMC floss on the website and wanted to go for cross-stitch supplies, but when we got there that one spinning rack of DMC floss was all they had as far as cross-stitch supplies.
They are the best when it comes to 🛒 shopping for that special someone
Vidlers is a wonderful trip into the past. Games. Curios. Kitchen and canning supplies. Neat stuff of all kinds. Take your out-of-town visitors; they will be delighted.
Great place to shop at. Anything I need I can find it at Vidlers and more. Definitely will be coming back!
Fun, unique, cute! I love going for me or to find unique gifts. It can get warm in there, and some aisles are very small, so just be prepared.
Very interesting place. Its like the Wall Drug of the east. High prices, but a good place to look around. Theres a nice cheap popcorn machine and a 1 cent and 5 cent candy dispenser. Cool vintage sodas like Nehi, and a lot of different stores within. Would drop in.
Love to find the things from my childhood therr
Be prepared for a crush of people but where else can you find memorabilia, office supplies, kitchen wares, lotions and candles and pet gifts all in an original two-story building. There were items I havent seen in sixty years! The aisles are narrow so this is not for the claustrophobic but its a fun way to spend a few hours. Dont forget your ten cent bag of popcorn!
Store was busy and crowded, isle were very small. Love the variety of thi gs in the store.
Great place to find a little bit of something!
So much fun revisiting the old days! Candy, games, toys, etc, from when I was a kid. Room after room of goods, from food to arts and crafts to games/toys/outdoor merchandise to kitchen wares and clothing. You could spend hours just roaming around in here!
This place has everything you can think of. Ive not been to visit since I was a young kid and recently took my wife while visiting for Christmas. She had a blast exploring the whole place and we found everything we needed plus a whole lot more we never knew we did. Glad to see this fixture of downtown East Aurora remains strong over the long haul. Well be back again this summer and Im sure it will top my wifes list of places to go back and visit again.
Great place! I swear they have almost everything that could be called kitsch! From toys to baking supplies! Super friendly staff, even during Covid time. Worth the trip from Rochester!
Great just walking through the store, but then you start finding things...stuff you thought was long gone...and new stuff to make you smile. So worth the trip.
Always a fun place to go even if you dont buy anything, which is rare for me. Staff always willing to help!!!
This is a great family outing for a trip back in time. The selection of products is incredible. If you cant find it here, they dont make it!!! There is something for everyone. Arts & crafts, kitchen gadgets, jewelry, clothes, toys, collectibles, candy and the list goes on!!! Always a fun trip! East Aurora is just quaint and a nice day trip!!!
Fun, different place to shop. Lots of variety
This place has everything! Such an array of miscellaneous items that you need lol
First time coming. Absolutely loved it. Made me feel like a kid again. Also took me back to when I worked at Smethport Specialty in Smethport Pa when I saw the Lauri products. I used to cut all the chip board cut outs for the Lace and Trace games that were in this store. How I miss that job. To bad they shut our plant down and moved the operation up to Michigan. Will definitely be back.
I love this place because they have do many unique things. From sewing supplies to cookware, and toys to old fashion candy. A must visit! Once you come here, it definitely wont be your last visit. Old time 5 & 10 store. Its like stepping back in time.
It’s like stepping in a time machine.
Whats not to love about an old fashioned 5 and 10? Not a whole lot for a nickle or dime but low prices and a ton of variety. Helpful staff clean store and you can pretty much find whatever youre looking for. Really adds to the small town vibe of East Aurora.
I have seen ads for Vidlers for years and was always curious, but never in the area. Just days after a coworker told me it was great, i found myself in Orchard Park and made a slight detour home to make a stop. They have every kitchen item you could ever imagine and them some. Also lots of unique toys. The place is huge and goes on and on. We all enjoyed the diverse options.
What a great place to visit, good for all ages! So many funny and unique hidden gems here. A really fun trip to make out to the beautiful and scenic East Aurora.
Always a treat going there while in town. Check out there sodas. Unusual flavors available.
Spent 2 hours wandering around this store. Great items and prices. So much to explore!!!
Still alot of fun...but alot more dollar tree items.....
My grandchildren 5 and 7 have never been to your store. My son was also with us and he was going to show, them something and some girl shoulder length light brown or dirty blond hair with glasses told him not to touch anything. People all over the store were touching thens to look at them because there is really no other way to see he items and decide if it is something you want to purchase. She singled him out. She then proceeded to flow us around, the store . At this point my son left the store and was outside. She was following us around like, we were,thieves or something. She had not right to say something,to him and not to all the others that were touching things. You might as well close yup shop. People touch at Walmart, etc but can touch in your store. What a way t Fido business. Close up shop if people can’t see what they are buying. We will never be back and we will tell everyone on our town what happened. We drove an hour to I wished I had got her name. You are paying her to walk around, I sure hope she was not touching the items in your store. What a way to do business. She is costing you business. I wished I got her name. She would be reported.
Meh, not enough unique items to keepy interest. Prices and selection are fine but the 5 & 10 store needs a hook imo
Cool store and a fun browse.
Very neat and unusual store to wander around in and check out all the items they have. Have done something right there. Been around for ninety years.
This store is in East Aurora on Main st. Its definitely a must see if youve never been there. The town is very quaint and restored to look like your back in the days of the twenties. The store is very nastalgic also, especially if youve been around in the days of penny candy. The store has many candy from the sixties and earlier. Also gifts that follow the same motiff. If youve never been there you owe it to yourself to see it.
A must go! So much to see. So many people. Fair prices.
My children& myself enjoyed our time there,will go back for holiday shopping. They have a very large selection,very good prices. Bought a few things, got candy of course. Brings back many fond childhood memories.
First time here, it was amazing, never seen such unique stuff in my life, most stuff is a bit pricey but thats totally ok
This place is so much fun- Ive been in so many times over the years and still find new things there to look at. I always pick up a cookie cutter for my collection (where else can you still get a cookie cutter for under $3?). Parking can be a little tight because its a tourist destination but its worth it. Check out the great kids hat selection in the toy area, the socks, and the penny candy area. Make sure to get a bag of popcorn!
Great store, its huge. Take the time to walk all the passages between the different areas of this store. Its like many stores in one. Especially downstairs where all the home goods are. So worth an hour of your time. Its nastalgic, and a place youll find that hard to find item. Extremely well staffed, all prepared to help.
An eclectic place filled with childhood memories and the toys, trinkets and candy you havent seen in decades. It looks and feels like a place you would go to in 1945. It is a Sunday drive destination point. Make sure you give yourself 2 to 3 hours to browse through the store.
Took three young boys to see Vidlers for the first time. They were entertained, enthralled and impressed!
This store has items you didnt know you were looking for and items you didnt know you needed. Theres is so much of everything and the store is huge. It might take you days to look at everything, but you are bound to find some hidden treasure from your childhood here. Well worth the visit, but not particularly stroller friendly.
What an interesting place! The variety and oddity of the items that they sell here is honestly quite astounding. Even if you dont buy anything, its still worth taking a walk through this MASSIVE storefront just for the experience of it alone.
Got EVERYTHING I was looking for2 deep 9 silicone baking pansA finial for the top of my antique lampNew A B C divider cards for my recipe boxHave been looking everywhere for these items
This store has everything an more give yourself a treat an check out all the goodies from long ago to now you wont be disappointed
A little bit of everything, great staff.
Awesome place for that hard to find gift
The family and I have so much fun here. There is no lack of interesting things to buy or look at. The location is great because there are several great restaurants around. If you want to see something very kitsch an interesting make sure you come to vidlers. You will never be disappointed or bored here.
This place has a little bit of everything. Very old school, nostalgic stuff as well. You dont see too many stores like this anymore, definitely not at all like a big box its more of a store from way back when. The shop is right at home and fits the small town vibe of East Aurora.
You will have a wonderful time in that store. It isnt just shopping, its a great experience! All the old classic candy is there and soooooo much more. Clothes, cookware, home decor etc., but be careful- youll want to stay there and never come out!
I came back last weekend for the first time since I was little and the magic of this store is still there. You feel like you’re finding a gem every time you find something to buy here, and they have a great selection of treats.
A crazy selection of gizmos and gadgets. Lots of kitchen things. I hadnt been here in a few years so I was a bit disappointed in the prices. They have definitely gone up. Maybe its time they loose the five and dime part because I dont think anything was that cheap. Great selection but high prices puts this at a 3 star to me.
Lots of fun to explore with the family. You can find lots of stuff you didnt realize that you needed. Good selection of vintage candy brands. My go to place for canning jars and cat iron cookware.
Wonderful place! One of my favorite stores, they have everything! It’s always nice to stroll around and look at all the awesome stuff they got, employs are friendly and service is good clean and organized place. :)

2022-05-27This place has got everything. Older timers candy to modern candy. Popcorn machine, pots and pans, bath and body, kids toys, classic and new, sports memorabilia, fabric and sewing, gifts and even an office supply section. This place you can get lost in for hours, so be prepared. Located in the heart of the wonderful village of E Aurora. Decent prices too. Has some bakery items (desserts) as well

2022-05-14Love it love it love it! Amazing amount of items for pretty much any need. Give yourself lots of time and take some mad money with you as youre going to find things you never realized you need! Two floors of all kinds of fun (and useful) items. You may want to go at least twice to really see everything.

2021-09-24So much!!! This is a great bucket-list place. The store is so over stocked ( but in a VERY neat way) with not only nostalgic goods, but those unusual hard to find things, you didnt know you needed. P.S. Walk the street. East Aurora is a wonderful place to visit.

2022-02-27Wow what a fun place. So much to look at. You could definitely spend a few hours walking around looking at everything. When my wife and I were there they were filming what we thought was a commercial. I found out the next day it was actually a hallmark movie. If you are in the area you wouldnt be disappointed if stopping by even if its just for the old time candy section.

2022-03-06There is certainly a fantastic selection of eclectic items. I appreciated the old-time charm of this store, but thought it was cluttered & really cramped. An elderly woman who regularly shopped at these types of stores 60-75 years ago accompanied me, and she also felt slightly disappointed. Less stuff in that small space would have improved the experience. One visit was enough.

2021-06-24Wow! Took me back to a kindler gentler time I first went into Riddlers in the seventies it is barely changed. The toys the gifts I took my granddaughter Olivia in today it seems so hard to believe that 35 years ago I was taking my children in there. I believe the store has been there for 91 years I pray and hope it never leaves East Aurora. It is an absolutely must see

2022-05-25Nice scenic drive to East Aurora to get to Vidlers. Nostalgic atmosphere with friendly staff. So exciting to reminisce about a toy or favorite candy and find it sitting on the shelf available for purchase!

2022-06-26A perennial favorite and a true local classic, Vidlers is a vintage-style 5 and dime store that offers a must-have experience for the whole family. The cozy layout features everything from housewares to toys to stationery and knicknacks, and you never know what neat things you might find!

2022-04-22I grew up in East Aurora and have been going to Vidlers since I was a kid begging for candy. If anything here has changed, I cant tell you what it is. This place brings out the child in everyone. Not to mention that as an adult I love the unique home and garden items they offer.I have never left Vidlers without buying something that I was excited to offer as a gift or show off to friends. If you are passing through town you must stop to see this gem.
