Founded in Decatur in 1957 by Raymond “Ray” Eldridge Sr. and his son Kay, K's grew into a multi-state catalog-showroom department store selling everything from furniture to jewelry and electronics. Its story also includes Bargains Only stores and a final chapter in 2006. For former shoppers, local-history fans, and collectors, this design offers a daily reminder of a regional chain remembered across the Midwest.\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\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable Lexan\/polycarbonate shell with glossy full-color finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Flexible TPU interior liner for shock absorption and impact dispersion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Lay-flat bezel that protects the screen from small scratches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-protected surface resists outdoor weathering and color fading\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Supports wireless charging; two-piece design for secure fit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean with damp cotton or microfiber cloth.
