Who we are…

Kitchen Warehouse is Australia’s number one destination for those who love to cook and entertain, having started from humble beginnings at a single store in Fremantle, Western Australia in 1996.

No matter how quickly we grow, we are guided every step of the way by our core values:

• Authenticity: genuine experience and service
