Buckley Bros Inc. South Bloomfield

was originally started in 1904 by brothers George and Parker Buckley. They had operated a wheat buying station in the village of Kingman, Ohio prior to their move to Wilmington, Ohio. The brothers purchased an elevator which had been built circa 1899 at the current location of 320 East Main Street in Wilmington. The business at that time consisted of buying and shipping wheat by rail or trading wh

eat for bran, middlings, and/or flour. Another vital part of their business consisted of supplying horse customers with oats, corn, and hay. Three people were employed at that time. Today, Buckley Bros., Inc., remains a family owned operation as it celebrates its first century of serving Clinton County and Southwest Ohio agriculture. Main St., Buckley Bros., Inc. has seen Wilmington grow around it. And with this growth, Buckley Bros., Inc. remains an important link in the economic vitality and stability of American agriculture. The firm currently employs 35 full and part-time employees and operates five retail stores in Wilmington, Washington Court House, South Bloomfield, Morrow and The Plains.
