Take a reminder of Midwest retail history along for the day. K's Merchandise began in Decatur in 1957 as a family-founded catalog showroom, then grew to 17 stores across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Kentucky. This tumbler celebrates the people and places behind that regional story, from longtime shoppers to collectors of independent department-store history. It is a thoughtful everyday companion for anyone who remembers K's or enjoys discovering the retail past of the Midwest.
K's Merchandise Mart, Inc., commonly known as K's Merchandise, was a catalog showroom department store based in Decatur, Illinois. Raymond "Ray" Eldridge Sr. and his son Kay founded the company in 1957. It sold furniture, jewelry, electronics, and other general merchandise. By the time it closed, K's had 17 stores across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Kentucky. The company also operated four Bargains Only stores in Illinois: Mt. Zion, Champaign, Springfield, and Peoria. Their assortment included clothing, household goods, and furniture. By the 2000s, competition from big-box stores had eroded K's sales for years. Boston's Gordon Brothers Group took over the company from the founding family and appointed Bill Weinstein as president. After an effort to turn around store operations, K's announced on October 3, 2006, that it would liquidate and close to pay its creditors in full. Bargains Only stores closed ahead of their parent stores; the final one, in Mt. Zion, closed in October 2006.
