THE newest shop on the high street in Stockton Heath opens on Saturday.

Kitchen retailer Kutchenhaus opens its first Warrington store on London Road.

Boasting 1,100 square foot of retail space, the Warrington store will employ two staff in customer services and kitchen design. The shop will be managed by Chris Smith, who has worked with Kutchenhaus product for more than 11 years. Most recently he worked at the head office, growing the franchise network from nine stores to 25.

Rob Greenhalgh, who co-owns the Warrington business with Chris, comes from a kitchen installation background with over 20 years’ experience fitting. Rob said:“The team is incredibly excited to be opening the new store in Warrington, our friendly team is looking forward to welcoming the community to the official launch on Saturday.

“It has taken one month to completely transform the space to Kutchenhaus’ high-quality standards. We are looking forward to meeting shoppers and introducing them to Kutchenhaus. We believe the people of the surrounding area deserve access to German engineered kitchens at a really affordable price.”

Sean Ford, national head of sales and operations for Kutchenhaus, said: “Kutchenhaus is on an ambitious growth path over the next two to three years, so it’s fantastic to see the opening of our first store in Warrington.

“We are very excited to be part of the new showroom opening in Warrington, a community we believe is a perfect destination for a Kutchenhaus store due to its central location and access to major motorways. The new store will no doubt offer an engaging store environment and deliver a high-quality product, a market opportunity which we know is currently in high demand. We wish Chris and the team all the best and wait to see their future success.”

Established in 2004, Kutchenhaus is a franchise business owned by Europe’s largest kitchen manufacturer, Nobilia. Customers can both buy online at www.kutchenhaus.co.uk or one of its 32 showrooms across the UK.
