Clarence is one of the fastest-growing towns in Western New York, with a mix of established neighborhoods (Clarence Center, the older Main Street corridor) and newer subdivisions reflecting decades of suburban growth east of Buffalo. The customer base from Clarence tends to be a mix of professionals who commute to Amherst, downtown Buffalo, or work from home, families with multiple computers per household, and small business owners running operations out of homes or small commercial spaces along Transit Road and Main Street.

Clarence Areas We Serve

Clarence Center

The historic village area at the intersection of Clarence Center Road and Goodrich Road. Charming small-town feel with longstanding residents and a mix of older homes and newer development around it. Customers come to us for the typical home and small-business needs.

Clarence Hollow / the Main Street corridor

The historic Main Street area through Clarence, with antique shops, small restaurants, and the residential neighborhoods spreading north and south. Lower-key than Clarence Center but with steady residential density.

The Transit Road commercial corridor

Transit Road through Clarence is a major commercial spine with substantial retail, restaurant, professional office, and light industrial activity. Many of the small businesses along Transit Road become our customers when their computers need attention.

The newer subdivisions

Clarence has seen significant new home construction over the past two decades. The newer neighborhoods (in various pockets across the town) tend to be families with multiple computers and modern technology setups that occasionally need professional attention.

Eastern Clarence (Akron-adjacent)

The more rural eastern part of Clarence, bordering Akron. Slightly longer drive to our shop but still manageable for customers who need real repair service.

The Sheridan Drive area

Where Clarence transitions into Williamsville along Sheridan Drive. Mixed residential and commercial. Convenient drive to our shop.
