Round House Booms
The demand for denim exceeds supply and mills are unprepared to supply manufacturers with enough fabric.
In 1964, Edward Antosh purchases Round House and becomes president. He will go on to increase Round House retail and private label accounts at retail chains such as CR Anthony's, Target, and over 400 independent stores throughout the southern and southwest regions. Round House® thrives as demand for denim products increase.
