Seneca Mall, which opened in 1969, was a shopping mall south of Buffalo, New York, USA. The mall was located in the Town of West Seneca at the intersection of Ridge Road and Slade Avenue immediately east of the New York State Thruway.
Seneca Mall was a major mall in the southtowns of Buffalo from its opening in 1969 through the 1980's. In 1985, the McKinley Mall opened in Hamburg less than three miles away. Seneca hung on until 1989 when the Walden Galleria opened in Cheektowaga. At that time, all of the mall anchors vacated as well as most of the specialty stores and restaurants. The mall soldiered on until 1994 finally becoming a haven for mall walkers with no retailers. In 1994, the mall's owners, The Pyramid Company elected to demolish the mall and put a power center in its place, The Shops at West Seneca.
