During Meridian's "golden age" in the early 20th century, it was said that respectable railroad workers would only wear clothes from Alex Loeb's store.

The two brothers, Robert and Alex, acquired the Marks-Rothenberg Co. department store on 6th Street during the 1970s and ran the business until the late 1970s when the company was sold to a national retail chain.

[4] In the year 1987, Robert S. Loeb Jr. returned to Meridian after working as a buyer at Parisian department store in Birmingham, Alabama.

When Robert S. Loeb Jr. returned to his native Meridian to open a men's clothing store, he was guided, in part, by a business philosophy espoused by his great-grandfather a century earlier, which was to offer customers quality merchandise, prompt attention, and a big dose of Southern hospitality.

In Fall of 2013, Loeb's launched a new e-commerce website and began selling products from its brick-and-mortar store to customers online.

Loeb's also offers shopping guides by appointment over FaceTime for customers who can't visit the store in person.

This department is modeled after free-standing The North Face stores, including the light fixtures and paint.
