Richard Eichholz

President (Atlanta)

The only job Richard has ever had is working for Buy-Rite, and 55 years later, it’s still the one thing in his life he could never give up. Working with his father Harry Eichholz for decades (back when Buy-Rite was based in Savannah) taught him the importance of hard work, dedication and helping others. Above anything else, Richard wants Buy-Rite’s partners to be happy and successful. Over the years, he’s won many awards for manufacturers and salons alike and remains dedicated to philanthropy, staying very active with the United Way. When he’s not helping customers bring their dreams to fruition, you can find Richard playing golf, eating sushi or enjoying a nice glass of wine.

These days, he’s known as the serious one in the office (as well as for having great homemade lunches from his wife Katy), but he still gets a chill when he sees a client’s dream salon come together. He lives for music, the beach, playing golf and his beautiful daughter Aly, son Jack and awesome wife Katy.
