The History of Empire Clothing

The History of Empire Clothing

Empire Clothing was founded November 20th 2020 by Alex Anki and co-owned by his uncle and father, Willie and Hannah Anki. The Anki’s have been in business for over 25 years. They first started with On Time Fashion in the heart of Nashville Tennessee and then moved on to Nino’s Fashions on June 20th 1994. The Anki’s have always run a family operated business which is how Alex grew up to further this legacy with Empire Clothing. He first started to work with his uncle and father at Nino’s in Rivergate Mall when he was a teenager and soon opened Empire with his dad and uncle. This family has served the community for two generations and aim to continue to do so further down the line.

Here at Empire, our slogan is “Build Your Legacy”. The Anki’s have lived by this very slogan for 25+ years. They continue to build and pass on to the next generation to strengthen their legacy. They hope to inspire more people to do the same.

We keep a positive, inclusive, and light-hearted environment so that our customers can come in and feel like family. With our friendly staff, we aim to deliver the best customer service possible. We want our customers to feel welcomed and appreciated because you are. It takes more than one to build an empire; without you, our customers, there would be no Empire. 

Fashion has been an important aspect of every culture and civilization, both alive now and throughout history. Whether it be a symbol of status, occupation, heritage, or even simply expressing yourself, fashion has always been the outlet. Empire Clothing is home to a variety of styles and brands that you can shop to find your own taste. We have many brands such as Psycho Bunny, George V, 6TH NBRHD, Revenge, and many more to explore and find your sense of style. Here at Empire, we do keep up with the trends, but we also like to think of ourselves as trailblazers as we always have unique pieces for those who want to forgo their old style for something new. There is something for everyone here.  

Empire Clothing is what we call a one stop shop. You can come to Empire in one outfit and leave in a completely different look. We have everything you need in store from head to toe; hats, tops, bottoms, socks, shoes, and briefs too. You can accessorize with earrings, glasses, belts, and more; we have everything you need for a urban-street look.                                    

         

In store we have year-round sales and constantly give deals to satisfy our customers needs. With over 100 brands, you’re bound to find something in your price range with good quality in one.

We also support local brands such as New Bara. As we build our legacy, we want to help others build theirs. Whether we buy wholesale or work out a consignment deal, we can help smaller brands grow by giving them a platform to showcase their own legacy. In doing so, it also helps us build our legacy as we too grow overtime. It takes a multitude to build an empire, to build a legacy.

Thank you for choosing to shop with us.
