The Bankston family has been in business for over 40 years. Rodney and Kay Bankston started Bankston Tire and Appliance in the early 70's. The business flourished under their leadership and when their sons, Brent and Brad, started to show interest in business; they knew that they had the beginning of something unique. With the Tire and Appliance store still in full swing, Rodney realized that if anything was to ever "happen" to him, that a mother and two children could not continue to run the existing business. So in the early eighties, as the boys got older and showed interest collecting, a natural business started to evolve.
In 1985, Bankston's Used Books was opened, and over time grew into the comics, sports cards, and collectibles store that it is today. In 2016, Brent saw the opportunity for a new business when a spot opened up in the same strip center as Bankston's.. He called Lee, who was at the time catering out of their house, and offered the opportunity for an industrial kitchen to be used for catering. The exterior then would be left for merchandise. The original plan was foiled when Lee's cooking became enormously popular and King's Landing and Butter My Biscuit became a hybrid restaurant/game store.
​
In October 2023, we closed the doors to our restaurant so that Lee could spend more time with her family and grandkids. She now does monthly biscuit pop-ups, advertised on social media, and catering!
