Clyde H. King, Founder
King’s Furniture Store in Olney opened for business at 317 E. Main Street in August, 1926. Clyde H. King purchased a furniture store from Bert H. Cooksey and renamed the business King’s Furniture. Two years later, in 1928, Clyde King opened an additional store on Whittle Avenue. In 1930, the Whittle Ave store was relocated to the building that is now Ivy’s Cottage. That store remained open until 1980.

In 1980, King’s Furniture expanded the store on Main Street to include an adjacent building built and owned by D.A. Piper. It had been a Ford dealership and garage, a Montgomery Ward store, and then later a Pamida discount store.


Clyde King and his wife, Mina, had three children, Martha, John, and Richard. All three children worked in the furniture business while growing up in the 1930’s and 40’s. After serving in the Army and Navy during WWII, John and Richard returned to Olney and entered the furniture business with their father. They owned and operated King’s Furniture until they retired; Richard in 1989, and John in 2002.


King’s Furniture Store continues today, still owned and operated by members of the King family, John’s son Eric, and Richard’s son Mike. Currently there are five full time employees, and several part-time family members working at the Main Street store.
