Build A Buddy Factory reported on social media that it will be departing from West Ridge Mall after eight years of helping local kids make memories and new friends. The store cited “ongoing maintenance issues and damages” as part of the reason for the change in venue.
“This has been the hardest decision we have ever had to make.
Thank you, Topeka, for being our very first home! Since opening in October 2017, you’ve welcomed us with open arms, and we will never forget where it all began.”
