Tanya wearing a grey cardigan and sunglasses; reads Assistant Operations Manager - 27 Years With Buffalo Exchange
“My biggest fashion inspiration currently is Moira Rose’s character from Schitt’s Creek. She is a woman over 50 that still chooses to bring class, fashion, modernism and edginess to her everyday look.”

“Success to me as a boss is to be kind. In this world, more than ever, we need more mentors and leaders that are compassionate, kind and helpful.

Christina in snake print dress with pink telfar tote; reads Area Manager, 17 Years With Buffalo
“When I started in 2005, I didn’t know much about business, much less about what I wanted to do with my life. Working for these amazing women has given me an incredible career I am proud of and they have taught me everything I know.”
Dan wearing printed blouse and jeans in front of orange door; reads Store Development Coordinator - 38 Years With Buffalo
