The original store was established by Anne W. Bunis on Hertel Avenue in North Buffalo in 1928.  The company started when Mrs. Bunis returned from a trip to New York City with a set of 48 "sample" dresses, which she in turn sold for $12.75 each.  Expansion occurred during the early 1950s with stores at Lancaster, New York; Lockport, New York; Thruway Plaza (later Thruway Mall) in Cheektowaga, New York; South Buffalo at 2182 Seneca Street; and Downtown Buffalo at 554 Main Street, the former home of Flint & Kent.  The Downtown Buffalo store closed in 1959.  In 1961, a store opened in Amherst, New York and in 1969, a store opened at Seneca Mall in West Seneca, New York.  In 1971, a store opened at Eastern Hills Mall, with another store opening up at the Summit Park Mall in 1972, and in 1985, a store opened in McKinley Mall in Hamburg, New York.
