It all began with a business trip that sparked a lifelong connection. When Kevin Lee first experienced McAllen, he saw a vibrant community he wanted to call home. In 1984, he and his wife, Kay Lee, turned that vision into a reality by opening Casa Kevin, a humble 1,000 sq. ft. shop on 16th Street.

Fueled by the incredible support of the Rio Grande Valley community and their neighbors in Mexico, the Lee family’s small store began to flourish. Their promise was simple: offer the best products at the best prices. To keep that promise, they established a direct import model, bringing quality goods to the public at distributor prices.

Today, Casa Kevin stands as a testament to family dedication and community partnership. The warm welcome they received years ago continues to inspire their commitment to giving back and serving the people who helped build their dream.
