Fun facts about BUCKLE INC

Quirks, history, and lore behind BKE — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. specialty retailer · mid-cap · listed on the NYSE · headquartered in Nebraska.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Operates roughly 440 stores across the U.S. and pulls in annual revenue around $1.3 billion — not bad for a chain most coastal shoppers have never heard of.

  • 4

  • 5
    The Lore
    The brand is practically synonymous with denim, Western wear, and cowboy boots — think Friday Night Lights meets a very well-stocked belt rack.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    Its name is also something you do to a belt, its stores are full of them, and its three-letter ticker sounds exactly like the noise one makes after a big Midwest meal.
