"I ride my bike 40 minutes to work every day, bringing my work clothes in my backpack. But en route this morning, my pasta lunch mutinied and leaked tomato sauce all over my white work shirt, leaving me wearing the sweaty fraternity T-shirt I rode in with. I easily stuck out at the office (not least because the T-shirt had a big picture of Burt Reynolds on the back), so I did a quick search of nearby clothing stores to find a replacement. A quick look at BE's website and I knew I'd found the right place. I raced over and within a couple minutes found a nice shirt that fit perfectly. The cashier was really nice too, genuinely complimenting my selection and letting me know the shirt I'd found normally retails for much higher. Feeling accomplished and knowing I got a steal on a great quality, stylish shirt, I made it back to work just as my boss walked in... Thanks Buffalo Exchange! The Somerville store is funky and well-stocked, the staff supportive and informed, and the overall mission compelling and responsible!"

"Just wanted to... say thank you once more. I have gotten in a coyote pup and a couple of fox kits and they are loving the furs! Especially the coyote pup she was in very very bad shape when she came in and I put a fur in with her and you could almost hear a sigh of relief as she snuggled down into it. Here are [also] the little red foxes hiding behind a fur you donated to us. They all are very grateful to have them and are deriving comfort from them. These guys wouldn't be the same without the comfort of the furs. Thank you," Alpine Meadows Wildlife Rehab

"Had to come to Austin for a wedding. Found out when I got there that it was a theme wedding. Western themed... naturally. Coming from SC I had no western clothes. A friend suggested your store so I came by to see what you had. I browsed for around thirty minutes and found a badass Resistol snap shirt and some used Justin boots that actually fit! Who would've ever guessed that you would have size 14s?!! I love your store and I love Austin so I'll definitely be back!!"

"I'd just like to extend my gratitude towards Buffalo Exchange! It is simply the BEST place to shop! Each time I go on vacation I seek one out, and make a special trip, since the closest one to me is a few hours away. I've found some of the most awesome clothing to add to my wardrobe, and get so many compliments! I especially get a rush when I find anything from my favorite designer, Betsey Johnson, since my current salary does not allow me to afford her clothing. So far I have collected 3 beautiful dresses and a jacket from two of your stores. Please keep opening up new locations and keep spreading the fashion love! Thank you so very much!!!"

I rarely have to stand there for more than a few seconds before an employee stops to ask if I need help. They are outstanding.

"My experience at the Buffalo Exchange in Sherman Oaks today was PERFECT. Every employee was helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. Specifically, Brandan at the buyers table offered some of the best customer service I have ever received. He diligently went through the items I brought in, explaining how each one was priced for re-sale or why they were not buying certain types of items at the time. This location epitomizes everything a retail store should be and I will be returning again and again. Thank you!"

"Buffalo Exchange is the best clothing store ever! I come here all the time, the people are always friendly and helpful, and the clothes are affordable and high quality. Favorite thing I've bought there would have to be a pair of black combat boots[;] they have been the best winter boots and very cute besides, and I wear them all the time."

"A Trifecta -- plus PARKING; SaWeeeet! Thanksgiving early this year... after scoring the big three -- Tod's olive green pony hair tall boots; AVA open front ruffle trim MINT long cardigan; and a new home for my MacBook Air - an authentic Big Buddha green quilted shoulder bag with chain-link embellishments. And, let me underscore the pièce de résistance -- a prime parking spot. The entire price tag -- less than Sunday brunch! The Boston Team is amazing -- professional, helpful, funny; and, the store is clean, bright, spacious -- for an enjoyable shopping experience."

"So I've kn[own] about Buffalo Exchange through a friend who was going to sell her clothes there. And today after a year of knowing about it, I finally decided to shop there. And I'm in love! It was warm, which was great since it was utterly freezing outside, which made me feel comfortable. The workers were professional, friendly, and seemed like they loved working there. I found this cute shirt and skirt in literally 10 mins and all together only cost $29. HOLLA !"

Kiki, age 17

"I'm lucky enough to have a Buffalo Exchange right in my neighborhood! It's smaller than the Montrose location, but it's filled with gems! The staff is always super helpful and friendly. I'm always looking for new people to introduce to this awesome little shop. They don't accept as many clothes as plato's closet, but that translates into much higher quality merchandise, so you don't have to pick through a bunch of junk to find the good stuff. I love this place and would recommend it to anybody!"

Not only did we find exactly what we were looking for there, but we also found Megan, who was a customer service shining star. She was extremely helpful and very kind to my three daughters, I just want to say, "Megan Rocks!" That was my first time in a Buffalo Exchange store, BUT it definitely won't be my last; it's my new favorite store."

"I don't know what I love more about Buffalo Exchange -- it's either their genuine and down-to-earth staff who are always a pleasure to talk with or their amazing selection of awesome clothes at great prices. I have sold on countless occasions and the buyers inspect every piece of clothing very carefully, often finding some flaws I missed. I appreciate their careful inspection; I know when I am buying there that their clothing has already passed the test. Out of all the stores I have had a pleasure of visiting they have never fallen short on service, friendliness, and a wonderful selection. I would like to hand it to Buffalo Exchange for creating not only a store, but a brilliant and unparallel experience for its shoppers!"

Lorelei, age 26

"From the first time I stepped foot in Buffalo Exchange, no doubt about it I knew it was the best thrift/vintage shop I've been to. When I was in New York this summer, I looked up thrift shops and found Buffalo. From the name I was unsure whether it would be any good[;] honestly I'm so glad I still went. A month later I went on vacation to Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and California, and I made sure to go to every Buffalo Exchange that I was close to. I just wanted to say it amazes me that there's a thrift store like this one, with such a great selection and affordable prices... Thank you for giving me the best shopping experience. :)"

Stephanie, age 20

"This was my first time selling. The gals at this location were so friendly and patient, especially since I brought a huge amount of clothing and accessories (recent ambitious closet cleaning). They inspected each piece and were fair with their 'buy' selections. I walked out with a nice check... I will most definitely be back."

I also witnessed the staff that day (Hunter, Stephanie & Kerry) go out of their way not only to help people shop, but to fill them in on the Long Beach area. This location stands out!"

"WOW Your concept is truly an inspiration. As a retail buyer for 10 years for a group of off-price... stores I absolutely salute and applaud your effort to 'recycle re-purpose and re-use' clothing! I personally don't own anything but thrift store clothes and never spend more than $10 on an item (I absolutely cannot and will not pay regular retail for clothing). I will be visiting New Orleans this weekend and can't wait to see your store! If you ever open one in Birmingham AL I will be there! I'm not cheap just smart!"
