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.

Today, Kitchen Warehouse has a national store network, dominant online presence, and ranges 10,000+ kitchenware products. 

As a forward-thinking business, we’re always looking for new ways to continue delighting our customers and they visit us because we offer the best selection of brands, world-class experience, and exceptional service and advice. 

An example of this is seen in our stores which are designed with fully operating kitchens so we can educate and inspire our customers through ongoing events and activities. 

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

• Authenticity: genuine experience and service
• Quality: standards that can be trusted
