Kings Collection Storefront

[MusicEnlightens]

With the small updates to the app (no map yet), I noticed "Kings Collection" on the east side of International Street. Was this storefront named "Traders" as recently as last year (as seen in the current picture on the map)? Maybe I'm wrong, but the moniker "Kings Collection" seems new to me. I wouldn't expect any physical changes, as no permits have been found, but the focus on this store may shift towards nostalgic/50th anniversary merchandise, which would be exciting.

That is definitely a new name. Nice catch. It was named “Dominion Traders” since sometime around 2021 and just “Emporium” before that.

Last I checked, that store sold nothing but overpriced marked up Under Armour gear and other uninteresting crap, so I hope this name change also signifies an upgrade to the merch (and the aesthetic). That store has always had some of the park’s worst mechandise. (Throwback to the porcelain Marylin Monroe and Michael Jackson frogs, IYKYK)

That's right, Dominion Traders. I couldn't read the small print in the picture so I totally forgot.

I'm pretty sure my first visit to Kings Dominion around 2014ish/15ish there was a seller of medieval/castle/dragons keepsakes in the corner room of this building.
