KiK (Kunde ist König) is a prominent German discount retailer that specializes in affordable clothing, textiles, and home goods. Founded in 1994, the brand revolutionized the low-price segment in Germany by offering high-volume inventory at competitive prices. The company operates thousands of stores across Europe, maintaining a significant presence in the discount retail market.

While headquartered in Bönen, Germany, KiK's products are manufactured globally, with a significant portion of its production occurring in countries like Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, and Turkey.
