Danny's South Seeks $5.7 Million as Highmark Stadium Rezoning Vote Nears

1 articles · Updated · WKBW 7 News Buffalo · Jul 10

Summary

  • $5.7 million is the asking price for Danny's South, a longtime Orchard Park game-day restaurant now listed just before Monday's Hamburg Town Board rezoning vote.
  • Owner Mark Ebeling said the sale follows 29 years in business and is driven by a desire to spend more time with family, not redevelopment alone.
  • Monday's proposal would clear the way for more commercial projects around the new Highmark Stadium, including hotels, restaurants and retail, as construction and infrastructure work already reshape Abbott Road.
  • That broader buildout is aimed at turning the Buffalo Bills' new stadium area into a year-round entertainment district, while residents also press for sidewalks and better lighting on game days.

Can a 'Titletown' for Buffalo thrive year-round, or will the massive investment create a ghost town after the NFL season ends?
