a peek inside our first IRL pop-up

June 2026 officially goes in our diaries as a Cool Story milestone. We popped up for our first IRL experience at AVA Summer Market in Larkin Square – and *omfg* was it cool!

Seeing our tent stocked with handpicked finds from creative talents across Buffalo was our pinch-me moment.

We couldn't resist bringing a few of our cute Cool Story merch. (Can you tell we love the '90s??)

The best part? You don't need to find us in person to snag our cool, handpicked finds – all made in Buffalo!
