The Buckle first began in 1948 in the town of Kearney, Nebraska, which is where the headquarters is still located today.There are currently over 400 Buckle stores in 41 states. Dan Hirschfeld has been with the company since 1965 and leads the company as Chairman of the Board. Dennis Nelson is the President and Chief Executive Officer. Executive Vice President, Jim Shada, and Kari Smith, Vice-President of Sales.
I like that Buckle decided to keep their headquarters in Nebraska because it shows that they are loyal to their hometown. They could have moved to New York or L.A. like everyone else, so I think that is really cool that they stayed local.
