BUFFALO EXCHANGE MOTHER-DAUGHTER TEAM FEATURED IN TUCSON LIFESTYLE
Buffalo Exchange mom and daughter pair Kerstin and Rebecca Block, were recently featured in the Up Front, Notable section for ‘Frock in Trade’ in the March 2013 issue of prominent Tucson magazine, Tucson Lifestyle.
Starting a business can be a daunting task. Imagine failing to learn new skills, losing your job, and raising a family. For Kerstin Block, those past failures would soon become successful achievements with an idea to open a unique clothing store. In a recent interview with Tucson Lifestyle, Buffalo Exchange president, Kerstin Block revealed “I love to shop, and I have the rummaging/digging instinct.” Her addiction to thrift stores and swap meets naturally helped her and Spencer Block to open the first Buffalo Exchange in 1974 in an old union office across from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. Today Kerstin and her daughter, Rebecca, run the family business with 48 stores in 17 states. Through the decades, Buffalo Exchange has become a thriving resale fashion retailer. In the interview Kerstin and Rebecca discuss how they have maintained the business over the years: “We have worked very hard to remain fashion-oriented,” said Rebecca, “Buffalo Exchange is very unique—you never know what you are going to find!” “We go by style rather than brand name,” noted Kerstin, “We are very honest with our customer about what an item will sell for,” Rebecca added.

GRETTA'S "NO MONEY MAKEOVER" ON THE RACHAEL RAY SHOW
On the Rachael Ray Show's "Free For All" episode in November 2012, stylist Gretta takes viewer Angela for a free clothing make over at Buffalo Exchange in New York. Rachael Ray explains, "everything on this [episode] you can get for free. [Angela] traded her clothes at [Buffalo Exchange], which was awesome." Gretta explains Buffalo Exchange to viewers, "We didn't skimp. A common misconception about these stores is that they only take high-end items or vintage items. Not true. They love to have items that are from inexpensive stores or discount stores so long as they are great pieces." Angela traded in her old clothes for an outfit that included a designer dress, designer heels, and a leather bag. "It was so fun," Gretta explains, who also traded in her clothes for a whole new outfit.
