King's Office Supply - A Brief History
Established in 1977 by Bud King, King's was a Radio Shack dealer as well as an office supply. Operating in historic Crescent City Florida, the store supported walk in traffic as well as local delivery. Upon Bud's son Scott's entry into the business in 1985, the Radio Shack was sold off and services were added such as commercial printing and janitorial supplies like tissue, paper towels and cleaning products.
The retail front was closed and additional delivery markets in Putnam and Volusia counties were opened. Since then, several supply dealers have been acquired including Manatee Office & Computer Supply in Citrus County Florida. The business model developed by Scott was adapted to Manatee as well, closing the retail front and offering free next day delivery. Further products and services are being added on a regular basis such as vending machines and coffee service. |
