Thruway to 490 East. Take exit 4 and make a left onto Route 259. About 8.7 miles up turn left on West Ridge Rd/104. 1.5 miles up on your right is Marine Oasis at 5340 W Ridge.
When leaving MO, turn East (left) onto W Ridge Rd and drive 12.5 miles (turns into expressway), take the exit for Goodman St and make a left onto Goodman. Turn right on East Ridge Rd and .7 miles up is The Reef Shoppe at 1969 East Ridge Rd. (You will see an orange & white sign on the side of a building for them. Turn in there and drive down behind the building as the store is in back on the lower level.)
When leaving there, turn East (right) onto East Ridge Rd, .2 miles up make a right onto Culver Road. 1 Mile up Culver you make a left onto Bursen Street. Caribbean Forest is on your left at 24 Bursen St.
Leaving Caribbean Forest, turn left back onto Culver and at that traffic light make a left onto Norton. 2.9 miles up merge onto 590South. (No option for North here anyways) Get in far left lane of 590 and use that lane to exit to 490 East. Take exit 25/Route 31F East and turn slight right onto 31F. 2.2 miles up turn left on Baird Rd and then a slight right onto Whitney Rd West. ABC Pets is on your right at 581 Whitney Rd West.
The least confusing way back to Buffalo from that point is probably to go back the way you came by going left on Baird Rd, right onto 31F and hop on 490 East to the Thruway.
*If anyone has a better route, by all means feel free to post it.
