If you’re heading to Niagara Falls and pass near Elma, New York be sure to stop off at the Made In America Store a retail location that strictly sells only products that were produced 100% in the United States.
Store owner Mark Andol got the idea for the USA produced only products location when his welding business lost a majority of their work to foreign competitors.
The store carries 3,000 products and everything on those products must be made in the USA, even the glue, screws and packaging included with the items.
According to one store manager who spends hours of his day hunting down USA made products, if the store discovers that a company lied to them about their products USA only production value they will literally take the products outside and burn them in certain cases. In fact the stores acceptance policy to call something “Made in the USA” is more strict than FTC requirements for that same purpose.
Last year the store nearly doubled their business, even though they can find almost no electronic items to carry due to foreign manufacturing.
