Flat No. 12 Mushrooms is one of them. For the last six years, Rob Gianadda and his partners have been growing mushrooms in a basement "farm" for their startup wholesale business, which primarily produces oyster and shitake mushrooms that are mostly sold to local restaurants, plus a few small grocers. It's pretty much been a shoestring operation, started on a whim and built on their own after Gianadda and his wife became interested in where their food comes from.

But he has ambitions to grow the firm. So when the opportunity arose to double his space and professionalize his operation as a major tenant in Termini's new business incubator hub on Chandler Street, Gianadda seized it.

"This opportunity came up, and it was too good to pass up, so we decided to jump on it," he said.

The 35,000-square-foot complex, located in a pair of former industrial warehouses at 27 and 37 Chandler in North Buffalo that are connected by a second-floor skybridge, are located in long-abandoned facilities that were converted into new work space for food-service companies.
