Kingdom Textiles

Heads up, this shit ain't fully happened yet, so bear wit' me.

**Kingdom Textiles** is the intended flagship subsidiary of Kingdom Industries, LLC. With an intended founding in 2024 by the Kingdom Industries administration, this is set to be the flagship for KI, and will hopefully lead to the revival of American industry, and enact a new industrial revolution, leading to a skyrocket of employment, economy and influences.

Until March 2022, Kingdom Industries was supposed to be the name of the Textile Company, and the only other business owned by the founders was the 'Runaway Jester', which would have been an independent business. It has now been decided that both will be subsidiaries, and Kingdom Industries would instead be a parent company.

## History

Kingdom Textiles' earliest beginnings started in March - November 2021, when founders Nicholas and Elizabeth King began finally coordinating roots and grounds for the textile-company to begin. Nicholas King, along with former close-friend Matthew Scott, had explored multiple abandoned factories in October - November, and began planning for future development. Earlier in March - May 2021, the duo, once accompanied by friend Payton Robertson on May 8th, also explored sites. Both men were initially proposed to be 2/5 of the founders, with Nicholas, only requiring one new space, but after personal disputes among the pair, King had cut ties with both men, deciding to stick with Elizabeth, and later Saige Yount.

### Planning and Scoping

The textile branch was the roots of Kingdom Industries. Nicholas and Elizabeth King had concepted the idea of a textile-industry since their youth. Nicholas had envisioned owning multiple factories near his hometown, and March 2021, after years of concepting, he, along with Matthew Scott explored several abandoned factories in the hometown. He would later do it again in May, and later October - November, in which he began developing a logo for the company, along with settling down the grounds for the birth of Kingdom Industries. By doing this, he was able to piece together the interior, and plan out future additions, and prepare for the future ownership properly, and get a great concept formed. Unfortunately, during the formation of KI, Scott and King would cut ties a 4th, and final time, on November 9th. Then, later on, cutting contact with Payton, wiping clean the original formation of Kingdom Industries.

From June 29 - July 19, 2021, Nicholas King worked at CS Carolina, the only textile mill a Kingdom founder has worked at, to date. He was eventually laid-off due to fears of injury after unintentionally dropping a cart of polyester, after supposedly losing control due to positioning it uneven on a mat, and attempting to pull it towards the conveyor belt to package. Before the packaging department, he worked as a machine operator, but was transferred to packaging due to his short stature causing an inability to reach the top layer of the machines.

By January, several PowerPoints and other roots for the company were already developed, and later on, the first steps in making KI official were made. After direction was made, Nicholas and Elizabeth also began PowerPointing and proposing ideas for the Runaway Jester franchise. After this was finished, focus returned to Kingdom Textiles, which was then just 'Kingdom Industries'. While working for Honda Power Equipment, he began contemplating owning other businesses, instead of just textiles, and a restaurant franchise. Eventually, in March 2022, he ultimately decided to make Kingdom Textiles a subsidiary of Kingdom Industries, and numerous other subsidiaries.

Elizabeth King had proposed taking courses in graphic-design and other important courses, so she could lead the design teams and create clothing trends, styles and other purposes needed for the textiles and designs, and also the other production for Kingdom Industries. She began drawing custom designs for logos related to Kingdom Industries, and helping plan out additional routes to be taken.

### First Steps (March - June 2022)

After the idea of Kingdom Industries was set out, both Nicholas and Elizabeth, along with Saige Yount, and the other two unidentified, had created an account on AliveShoes, set to start out the company. Both Kings, along with Yount, initially began developing one shoe of each, before pro-membership was added, which lead to two more concepts, with the primary beginner for Kingdom Textiles being the 'K.I Dreamstarter' model, which had been redesigned and launched after the original was unfavorable. This began the birth of the company unofficially, as of right now, there are no owned businesses under the Kingdom.

In June 2022, it is proposed that Nicholas King and Saige Yount will begin working at Sue-Lynn Textiles, and begin making steps towards the company's official formation. After Nicholas begins taking courses in business and management, and Saige with nursing, and potential engineering and other related courses, they will work to the top, and soon become the plant managers and owners, and after making adjustments to the plant with massive upgrades, it will be renamed 'Kingdom Footwear - Haw River'. Hopefully, profits from the AliveShoes business also support the investment financially. After doing so, the company will start, and begin producing shoes.

### Later Intentions

Later on, Kingdom Textiles will become the owners of numerous businesses. Some of which, being abandoned factories, and some being loft-apartments, and others being still operational. With this, several branches will be made, with the primary two being Echo Division and Nitro Division. Different types of fabrics will be done, at different plants and divisions. The funds from this company, along with the Runaway Jester, will hopefully allow further investments, and expansion with company assets and goals.

## Products and Style

Kingdom Textiles will focus on a primary genre of emo, scene, grunge, alternative, gothic, punk, aesthetic and similar styles. The products will range from: Shirts, Pants, Jackets, Hats, Beanies, Shoes, and accessories, braces, chokers, collars, rugs, towels, curtains, blankets, sheets, and much, much more. Different categories of the clothing will also be in place, such as jeans, leather jackets, etc. This falls under which division the items are created under, as they use different materials and equipment.

There will also be expansions that focus on different styles. Military uniforms, along with boots, socks and other accessories in terms of uniform will be manufactured, and other departments will focus on Urban styles, and even sports attire

## Divisions

There will be numerous divisions under Kingdom Textiles. The first two would be Echo and Nitro Divisions. The divisions will often compete, in example, Echo and Nitro will compete, although still support eachother when necessary, such as shortages of supply or employees, or when mixed production is required for a certain product.

### Competition/Alliances

There will be alliances with certain divisions, who work together and try to reach a higher productivity count than other divisions, or be frequent suppliers when needed. Than, divisions may compete with one another, in terms of production, and in company sports events. This will also apply to divisions in other subsidiaries, as some may be allies, or rivals, just like with other textile companies, although Kingdom Textiles will mostly remain against other textile companies. (ex. Division 1 competes with Division 2, 1 is allied with 4, Division 2 competes with Happy Textiles, but Division 3 is allied)

### Sports Teams

Kingdom Industries intends to have a company sports team, for every asset. Games will usually occur during holiday breaks, or after a shift. Sports will likely be baseball and basketball, although volleyball and tennis is on the table. Divisions that feud will compete against eachother with certain teams representing a plant (ex. Kingdom Textiles - Graham of Echo vs Kingdom Apparel - Haw River of Nitro) will be made, and even teams representing other subsidiaries will compete/play alongside. Again, they will also compete/play alongside other textile companies, when given the option.
