Buyer

Job Title: Buyer

Location: San Antonio, TX (Relocation required)

Company: My Melrose (United Fashion of Texas, LLC)

The History of a Family’s Dream – The "MELROSE" Dream

Melrose’s story is a classic American dream story. We are a company that traces its beginnings back to the ambitions and vision of an immigrant family—a husband and wife team—who came to South Texas to pour everything they had into a family business. Celebrating 50 years of business in October 2026 and over 90 locations later, their profitable and privately owned business stands as a monument to their ambition and success.

United Fashion of Texas, LLC, better known today as My Melrose, was founded in the border town of McAllen, Texas, in 1976 with a single store selling fashion apparel. In 1991, we relocated our corporate office and distribution center to San Antonio, Texas.

Today, we operate over 90 stores across 4 Southwestern states. We have evolved into a family-fashion-based retailer offering trendy fashions, shoes, electronics, cosmetics, and home goods at affordable prices. Our 2020 rebranding as My Melrose aims to celebrate fashion's power to allow people to express their sense of individuality. We continue to open new locations and innovate, ensuring our customers always enjoy an exciting shopping experience.
