    Hanks Milestones

    1949

    A young Hank reports to work for a newly opened Army & Navy store located in Binghamton, NY. Common at the time, A&N stores supplied the public with quality goods from surplus which was generated by the military.

    Mid 50's

    Hank purchases the business and continues with military surplus but starts to add more clothing and sporting goods, making the business his own.

    Mid 60's

    With the growth of the business and working 12-14 hour days, sights were set on expansion into a new facility. A new building and addition a year later gave room to expand his offerings.

    Early 70's

    As retail changed, so did Hank’s. Expanded offerings included casual clothing and footwear, all while still maintaining their focus on quality USA Made work wear and leather goods.

    80's

    A challenging time for retailers as the market is flooded with cheap imports from around the world. Although tempting as it may have been, Hank kept his eye and focus on quality and service. Products made in the USA meant a lot and was truly the cornerstone of the business.

    1992

    Hank passed away in 1992, but the legacy he built continues to shape who we are today. He left a mark on everyone who met him—known for his tireless work ethic, firm handshake, and deep love for his family. Hank didn’t just build a business; he built a life rooted in integrity, grit, and the values that still guide us.

    Early 2000's

    Hank’s welcomes the new century with the expansion into another new location, specializing in workwear and footwear. A separate department is given to our USA Made belts and leather products, which have grown to be items of very high demand. Designed and specked in house, they were soon to become the future of the business.

    2001

    “Hank’s Belts” website makes its first debut. Starting out with our best colors, it has grown to offer numerous styles and colors. Focus is kept on the design and manufacturing of all belts made in the USA.

    2011

    Hank's moves into its new 30,000 square foot facility to accommodate the growing business. With this expansion, it provides the opportunity to expand our selection of leather products to now include wallets, dog accessories and more.

    2024

    New customer service center opened, right here in Endicott NY, to better accommodate the needs of our customers. Well trained representatives can be reached easily by phone, chat or email for a quick & educated response!
