Description: The Buckle Inc. was incorporated in Nebraska in 1948. The company commenced business under the name Mills Clothing, Inc., a conventional men's clothing store with only one location. In 1967, a second store, under the trade name Brass Buckle, was purchased. In the early 1970s, the store image changed to that of a jeans store with a wide selection of denims and shirts. The first branch store was opened in Columbus, Nebraska, in 1976. In 1977, the company began selling young women's apparel and opened its first mall store. The company changed its corporate name to The Buckle, Inc. on April 23, 1991. The Buckle is a retailer of medium- to better-priced casual apparel, footwear and accessories for fashion-conscious young men and women. The company markets a wide selection of mostly brand name casual apparel, including denims, other casual bottoms, tops, sportswear, outerwear, accessories and footwear.
