The Kelly-Moore Paints youth hoodie sweatshirt connects everyday comfort with a real chapter of American paint and retail history. Kelly-Moore started in San Carlos, California, in 1946, then built a recognizable presence through company stores, western expansion, and an employee-owned period before its Texas transition. Designed for young fans of creative projects and family trade stories, it is an easy layer for school days, weekend errands, and time in the workshop or studio.
Kelly-Moore Paints was founded in 1946 in San Carlos, California, by former paint-industry employees William Kelly and William Moore. Moore bought out Kelly in 1952 and remained closely involved for the next three decades, helping shape production methods and company-owned store planning. By 1984, as Moore retired, the business reported $136 million in revenue and nearly $11 million in profit. Joseph P. Cristiano became chief executive in January 1985. Expansion followed through acquisitions: Preservative Paint Co. of Seattle in 1994 added locations in Alaska and Washington, while K-M Universal in 1995 added an Arizona factory and outlets in Arizona and California. In 1998, an employee stock ownership plan was established. The company later joined the Paints America alliance and acquired Ponderosa Paint Manufacturing in 2000. Manufacturing moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Hurst, Texas, in 2017, and headquarters moved to Irving, Texas, in 2023. After a 2022 acquisition by Flacks Group, the company announced store closures and an end to operations in January 2024. Its intellectual property assets were acquired by Latex Paint S.A. de C.V. in May 2024.
