Doors open on kitchen store

A kitchen retailer has opened its first store in Bath despite the pandemic presenting some challenges.

Kutchenhaus, on Saracen Street, is set over two floors and becomes the business’ 34th showroom to open in the UK. It will employ three new members of staff in customer services and kitchen design, will offer virtual appointments, and use online 3D planning to create kitchens remotely for local customers.

Rob Cash, business owner of Kutchenhaus in Bath, said: “The team is incredibly excited to be opening the brand-new store in Bath, and are looking forward to welcoming the community through the doors.

“We plan on having a socially distanced launch, where we will invite people to the showroom in specific staggered time slots.

“It has taken six weeks to completely transform the space to

Kutchenhaus’ high-quality standards. We are looking forward to meeting shoppers and introducing them to the new showroom.

“There are a number of home improvement companies in this area of Bath which will make it a perfect place to visit if you are planning to improve your home.

“Our location is very similar to the location of our Bristol showroom, which gives us confidence we can be successful in the town.”

Sean Ford, national head of sales and operations for Kutchenhaus, said this was a very exciting opportunity. He said: “Kutchenhaus is on an ambitious growth path over the next 2-3 years, however being in the grip of a global pandemic has certainly presented some challenges and even positively altered the way we do business in some cases.”
