Fashion Buyer
About The Position
Uptown Cheapskate - Lynchburg is currently hiring Merchandise Buyers. We are looking to fill full-time and part-time positions. Uptown Cheapskate is a buy, sell, trade fashion store for young adults. We offer a change of pace from traditional fashion retail by adding the buying element into the usual retail setting. The pace is fast and upbeat. The opportunities to learn and grow are numerous. Join a company that offers the community a clothing recycling option and a way to score on current fashion at a great price. We are looking for a full-time Buyer and are willing to train you on everything you need to know. Uptown Cheapskate is an exciting retail store concept that sells quality clothing brands at affordable prices. Every month, our franchise stores buy and resell thousands of clothing items that have been gently used at a fraction of the prices originally charged. Our stores feel more like a boutique than a thrift shop, allowing more people to feel comfortable shopping second-hand. At Uptown Cheapskate, we have a passion for sustainable fashion. We are dedicated to reducing the impact of the fashion industry on the planet by being green 365 days per year. Since 2015, Uptown Cheapskate has joined forces with Kid to Kid and buildOn across the nation to raise money to build schools in developing countries. With the support of tens of thousands of customers all across the nation, we’ve far surpassed our initial goal and have raised over $600,000 and funded 18 schools (and counting!).
