Founded by Raymond “Ray” Eldridge Sr. and his son Kay, the company grew to 17 stores across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Kentucky. This laptop sleeve celebrates a familiar Midwest shopping name and the department-store era it represents, recalling a family-founded business that announced its liquidation and closure in October 2006.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eK'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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slim, protective laptop sleeve crafted from smooth neoprene with a soft, padded interior that cushions your device while keeping it lightweight and easy to carry. The front panel is customizable with a crisp, minimalist design; the back is solid black for a clean, low-profile look. Dual zipper enclosures give fast, secure access from either side, and the water-resistant, durable construction helps shield your laptop from light spills and everyday wear. Available in multiple sizes to fit a range of laptops and tablets, this sleeve slips into backpacks or briefcases without adding bulk and adds a touch of understated style to your daily commute or work-from-home setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dual zipper enclosures for easy two-sided access\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Foam padding to absorb bumps and protect from dust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Smooth neoprene exterior — lightweight and water-resistant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Customizable front panel with solid black back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in multiple sizes to fit laptops and tablets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water, dish soap and clean spots off your sleeve.
