“I started working at King’s in 1968 as the eldest S.O.B. (son of boss). Dad only fired me once when I didn’t get my hair cut. Since then working at King’s has been my only job and, as my wife would say, my only hobby.”

“My first day at King’s was in 1985. I drove the trash truck to the dump on Lena Road wearing my new pair of white sandals. They sure got mucky!”

“I applied for a driver position and was hired, but not as a driver. My first day at King’s in 2017 I was stocking paint. Later I taught my daughter (Alyssa) the same skill her first day on the job.”

“I started working at King’s in 1982 as a Route Truck Salesman. Then I worked nights managing the night crew and drivers. After 19 years away, it sure is nice to be back home.”
Ellie Johnson
“My first day at King’s was October 23, 2015. It was the start of season & I felt as if I was thrown into the fire! Everyone was helpful in teaching me the ropes & worked as a team to make things run smoothly.”
Alyssa McLymond
“Initially, I came to work at King’s with my mom (Colleen) as punishment. I couldn’t work the conveyor belt without being an employee, so I became an official member of the King’s Team in 2018. Thanks mom!”
Jerry Perry
“My late Uncle Julius worked at King’s a long time and always tried to get me to come work here with him. I started as a driver on January 2, 2015 following in my uncle’s footsteps.”
