What King Retail Solutions does

King Retail Solutions (KRS), founded in 1966 and headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, is a privately held, full-service retail design and build partner serving enterprise and mid-market retail chains across the United States and Canada. The company integrates five core service lines under one roof: retail interior design, custom fixture and décor fabrication, nationwide installation, commercial equipment sourcing and layout, and 3D site surveys. Its core technology is anchored by a 100,000 sq ft Eugene-based fabrication facility producing fixtures, signage, and décor from plastic, metal, and wood, supported by direct-to-substrate large-format printing, G7 color calibration with spectrophotometer-based statistical process control, an ERP system managing 1,500-2,000 active jobs simultaneously, and Matterport 3D scanning for site surveys. Installation is delivered through a proprietary three-layer project management model with Certified Crew Leads requiring 2-3 years of training, plus a cloud-based Team KRS reporting and ticketing system.

KRS serves five primary verticals: grocery, convenience stores, restaurants/QSR, franchises, and specialty retail. Named enterprise and franchise clients include Kroger, Giant Eagle, Albertsons, Save Mart, Schnucks, Calgary Co-op, ExtraMile (Chevron/Jacksons JV, 800+ locations), Papa Murphy's, Banfield Pet Hospitals, and Georgia Main Food Group. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional service fees for design and installation, fabrication fees for custom-manufactured retail elements, and equipment markup plus logistics coordination on commercial kitchen equipment sourced from a network of manufacturers.

Distribution is exclusively B2B direct enterprise sales via website consultation, phone outreach, a dedicated Client Services Team, and franchise-specific online ordering portals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company expanded capacity in 2025 through the acquisition of SignArt Graphix and operates an additional distribution and project management office in Emmaus, Pennsylvania.
