About us
Proudly Canadian
Passionate About Home.
Since 1987, Kitchen Stuff Plus has been bringing Canadians high-quality, stylish, and functional home essentials at unbeatable prices. We believe your home should be beautiful, organized, and affordable—always.
Our Story:
Humble Beginnings to Canadian Success
It all started at the Pickering Flea Market in Ontario, Canada. Our founder, Mark Halpern, was a university student with big dreams, selling home goods from a single booth and storing inventory in his parents' garage. Soon after, we opened our first store at Yonge & Bloor—and today, Kitchen Stuff Plus is a household name.
Great Deals Are Our Love Language
We've been committed to incredible value from day one. Our prices are up to 60% lower than our competitors, and we're constantly sourcing on-trend, well-priced products to bring you the best for less. If you find a better price, we'll match it—and beat it by 10%*!
Obsessed With Trendy Finds at Unreal Prices
We admit it—we're slightly obsessed with finding the best on-trend products at unbeatable prices. That water bottle you're eyeing but can't justify the hefty price tag? We've probably got the same one (or pretty darn close) at a price you'll love just as much. Those dinner plates that other stores display on fancy fixtures with sky-high markups? We've got them too—at a fraction of the cost. Truth is, we've been duping products before it was even a thing. We love spotting trends and bringing you virtually the same stylish, high-quality pieces—without the sticker shock. Look closely at what we carry and compare. Just promise you won't gatekeep these deals, okay?
Discover the 'Plus' in Kitchen Stuff Plus
It's more than just kitchenware—it's all the surprising, useful finds that make your home life easier and more stylish. Every visit to our stores or website is an adventure, with exciting new products arriving all the time.
Proudly Supporting Canadian Shoppers
Now more than ever, supporting Canadian businesses matters. As a homegrown company, we're working harder than ever to keep bringing you the great stuff you love at the best prices—no matter the global challenges. Thanks for choosing to shop local and support a true Canadian success story.
Giving Back
Since our beginning, Kitchen Stuff Plus has raised over $320,000 for Rethink Breast Cancer, a registered charity committed to supporting the unique needs of young women concerned about and living with breast cancer.
Along with Rethink, Kitchen Stuff Plus makes Red Cross donations to help with disaster relief. With the generous donations of our customers, we've donated over $65,000 to help countries around the world who have suffered from disasters like earthquakes, typhoons and forest fires.
Kitchen Stuff Plus is also committed to supporting causes in our local communities and those suggested by our staff. In recent years, we have been making donations to the Firefighters Toy Drive, the Diabetes Society, and the Fort York Food Bank. We are always responding to feedback and suggestions for causes to support based on the feedback from our teams.
