  King's Variety Store was a chain of discount stores founded in 1915 by M.H. King in Burley, Idaho. At its peak, King's had 27 stores in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming.
  
  A typical King's store ranged from 10,000 square feet (930 $m^2)$ to 20,000 square feet (1,900 $m^2)$ and carried a wide variety of value priced merchandise. Most King's stores were located in smaller towns that only had a grocery store as its major retail store.
  
  In February 2017, King's announced it would close all of its stores, and ceased operations that May.
