It is with heavy hearts that we remember Dae Soon Kim, founder of Kim’s Home Center, husband, father, grandfather, and a pillar of the Koreatown community. He passed away last week at the age of 91.
In 1979, he opened Kim’s Home Center with a simple vision: to offer quality household goods at affordable prices while serving the community he called home.
For generations of Korean-American families, Kim’s Home Center became more than just a store. It became a part of their lives and a connection to home. We are humbled to see how his hard work, dedication, and commitment helped shape the business we are today, a beloved staple in Koreatown and beyond.
Nearly five decades later, his legacy lives on through the family members who continue his work and the loyal customers who have been part of our journey.
We are forever grateful for his vision, his sacrifices, and the foundation he built for our family and our community.
