Last-Minute Costumes
By Kelsey Keena, Buffalo Exchange Fullerton
Between work, school and friends, it’s easy to lose track of time, finding yourself panicking over a costume at the last second. Don’t worry! There’s no need to rush to the nearest store – you can find a costume right within your closet.
Everyday Charity: Giving Back by Shopping
By Amelia Gotobed, Buffalo Exchange HQ
Here at Buffalo Exchange, we believe that giving back should be part of your daily routine. Besides helping cut down on clothing waste in general, we’ve brought that philosophy into our stores by eliminating plastic bags and offering our customers the opportunity to donate 5 cents in place of a bag to a local non-profit instead. Doing your good deed for the day has never been so easy!
We care about having a positive impact on the communities we operate in and empowering our customers to make a difference right in their own backyard. In New York, customers are helping to support the Lower East Side Ecology Center every day, just by shopping with us!
Costume of the Day
Welcome to our Costume of the Day series! Throughout the month of October, we’ll be posting a new Head-to-Toe-Buffalo costume every day from each one of our stores.
Throwback Thursday: Costumes Come Back to Haunt You
Do you have a childhood Halloween costume you’ve always been DIY-ing to resurrect? Or perhaps one you wish would just stay dead? Like, “Mom, burn all those photos” kind of dead? Yeah, us too. We asked employees to bring in photos of their favorite costumes from years past and compared them to this year’s Halloween creations. Join us for a trip down memory lane!

The Pets of Buffalo: We’re covering Fido with our new friends at FIGO
By Jennifer Forster, Buffalo Exchange HQ
Our family members are important to us and, whether they walk on two legs or four, we believe they deserve the same level of care. Buffalo Exchange and FIGO recently teamed up to offer pet health insurance for our employee’s cats and dogs. We believe this benefit will provide relief to those pet parents who may someday face an unexpected vet bill.
