Bring Barker's Discount Department Stores into your golf collection with a nod to the retailer's remarkable journey. Founded in Orange, Connecticut, in May 1957, Barker's grew from one home-goods store into a chain spanning multiple regions and island markets. Its broad mix of goods and rapid expansion captured the momentum of discount retail. After King's acquired the chain in 1980, most stores changed names in early 1981, leaving Barker's memorabilia as a record of retail's shifting landscape.
Barker's Discount Department Stores began in May 1957, founded by Irving Barker and Felix Mininberg in Orange, Connecticut. Its first store offered a broad range of home goods in a supermarket-style layout, supported by creative price and entertainment promotions. A second, 40,000-square-foot store opened in Wallingford in September 1960; that year, the company reported $7 million in gross sales. Franklin Stores Corporation acquired Barker's in 1961, and the chain expanded across the Northeast and South Central United States, the Caribbean, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It opened more than 11 stores between 1961 and 1970, then added almost 20 in New York State from 1970 to 1975. In 1976, it opened several former department-store sites in central New York. Barker's emphasized direct imports and a wide mix of national brands, private labels, and domestic goods. King's Department Stores acquired the financially troubled chain for $30 million in August 1980. Most locations took the King's name in early 1981; others closed or changed hands. Louisiana stores closed in 1982, while Puerto Rico locations became Kmart stores during 1983 and 1984.
