Buffalo Exchange

Buffalo Exchange

An affordable, sustainability-minded alternative to retail, Buffalo Exchange is a fashion resale favorite beloved by college students, bargain hunters, fashion trend-setters and everyone in between. We’ve been in the business of buying, selling and trading amazing used clothing since 1974, when we were founded by visionary duo Kerstin and Spencer Block in Tucson, Arizona. To this day, Kerstin and her daughter, Rebecca, continue to run this groundbreaking family biz minutes away from where it all began way-back-when in the ‘70s. We’re committed to sustainable fashion, empowering people and having a positive impact on the community and the environment. Our Tokens for Bags© program is just one of the many ways we give back. Instead of providing single use plastic bags, we give every shopper a token to donate to one of several local charities. Since 1994, Tokens for Bags© has generated over $893,860 for thousands of local nonprofits and has kept almost 17.9 million plastic bags out of the environment. We also hold an annual Earth Day $1 Sale to raise funds for an environmental non-profit and run various other initiatives throughout the year! It’s important to us to encourage the personal and professional growth of each and every team member. Some of the many perks of being a Buffalo include affordable, top-of-the-line health insurance, paid time off, merch discount, and an excellent 401(k) plan, just to name a few. We have over 40 stores across the country and we’d love for you to join our ever-growing herd. Apply online or stop into your local Buffalo!www.buffaloexchange.com

You ever gone through some of your old clothes and you took them to like Goodwill or Salvation Army? Or if you like wanna make some money, you went to like Pavement, you know, Buffalo Exchange, and they don't buy anything, they give you like $2.

Ash WatkinsHOST
17:48
Come on.
Ash WatkinsHOST
17:49
Well, I like it because I think all these stores that you mentioned, whether it's antique stores, tattoo parlors, vintage clothing where it's that Buffalo Exchange where people are bringing in their clothing and exchanging it, all that requires foot traffic.
Ash WatkinsHOST
18:05
And so once you get people to park and get their feet on the ground... now that helps everyone survive, whether it's a bar or a restaurant, because people get hungry after they shop.
Ash WatkinsHOST
18:16
I mean, a friend of mine went through one of the antique stores and ended up with one of those old-school Rainmakers and then ended up over at Rebar with the Rainmaker, and everyone was loving it.
