The consignment clothing store Buffalo Exchange announced they will open in Ballard on June 20.
The chain shop will occupy the space recently vacated by Supercuts, at 2232 N.W. Market St. in the Ballard Square Building.
The 2,500 square-foot space was secured by Buffalo Exchange on April 20. The shop is at street level in the Ballard Square.
The shop will feature 10-foot high ceilings, floors refinished to look like weathered wood and accent mirrors, according to a press release from Buffalo Exchange.
There will be eight dressing rooms and two buy counters, where customers can sell their clothes for cash or trade.
The Ballard location is Buffalo Exchange's second store in Seattle, since the Capitol HIll location closed. The other Seattle store is in the University District, which opened in 2001. The chain has 36 locations nationally in 13 states.
Used clothes can be traded for any item in the store, including jewelry and brand new clothing. The inventory includes designer wear, basics, vintage, jeans, leather and more.
The store donates to local nonprofit agencies in the community through its Tokens for Bags(r) program, which has generated more than $300,000 for hundreds of nonprofits since 1994, saving six million bags.
Shoppers are encouraged to accept a token instead of a bag for purchases, and Buffalo Exchange donates five cents to a charity of the customer's choice.
The resale clothing store chain celebrates 35 years of business in 2009.
Store hours will be Monday through Saturday from 11a.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call the Market Street Buffalo Exchange at 206-297-5920.
