Commemorate King's Variety Store with an ornament honoring a regional retailer founded in Burley, Idaho, in 1915. M.H. King's business grew into a 27-store chain across six western states, with smaller-town locations known for a broad assortment of value-priced goods. The company announced it would close all stores in February 2017 and ceased operations that May. This keepsake remembers the chain's long local history without suggesting a successor or continuing brand.
King's Variety Store was a discount-store chain founded in 1915 by M.H. King in Burley, Idaho. The business grew to a peak of 27 stores across Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. Its locations were often in smaller towns where a grocery store was the major retail outlet, giving the chain a role in local shopping beyond food retail. A typical store measured between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet and offered a wide variety of value-priced merchandise. King's operated as a regional variety retailer, with its name associated with discount shopping and broad merchandise selection across six western states. In February 2017, the company announced that it would close all of its stores. King's ceased operations in May 2017, ending a business that had begun in Burley more than a century earlier. The supplied account identifies no merger, successor, or later brand transition, so the chain's documented history concludes with its closure.
