The History Of Kitchen Stuff Plus
Where it all began... 1987 - 1999
It's true: we started as a flea market booth! In 1987, our now-president Mark Halpern was a university student and started a part-time venture called Kitchen Stuff at a 10 sq. ft. booth at the Pickering Flea Market to help pay for tuition.
After just two years, the one booth expanded to 20 and by 1993, he opened a pop-up store at Yonge & Bloor for the holidays. It was so successful that the lease was extended, and by 1995, the location became a full-time store.
More stores were quick to follow with our original Yonge & Eglinton store opening in 1996, followed by our first big box store in Kennedy Commons in 1999.
Growing in-store and online... 2000-2010
We welcomed the millennium by launching our website! Quickly following that, our fourth and fifth stores opened in Mississauga and Toronto - our famous Orfus Road outlet.
One of our longest-standing locations, back in 2000, our Orfus outlet store was our biggest at the time and also did triple-duty as our head office and distribution centre.
As time went by, we kept popping up everywhere, including opening two more stores in 2004 - Richmond Hill and Pickering, our Cloverdale Mall location in 2006, Heartland Town Centre and Oakville stores in 2008 and our first Whitby store in 2009.
We also kept growing in the community, including our first stop at the National Home Show and setting up a fantastic window display to support Toronto Pride.
In 2003, we were so honoured to be named the winners of the Global Innovator Award for Canada by the International Housewares Association. Innovating and adapting to the needs of our customers is something we focus on to this day.
Evolving through the years... 2010-today
We continued to grow throughout the GTA, starting with opening the doors to our now-famous Warehouse Sale in North York back in 2010.
We went on to open our Liberty Village store in 2012, along with a new, larger distribution centre in North York. Many more stores opened, including Woodbridge in 2013, south Whitby and in the Trinity Commons Mall in Brampton in 2016
We were also on the move to bigger spots - first moving our Pen Centre store in St. Catharines in 2017, then moving to our biggest store yet in Kennedy Commons in 2018 and opening a second warehouse in Brampton at Shoppers World Mall.
Along with so many store openings, this decade saw us join the Retail Council of Canada, a not-for-profit, industry-funded association representing more than 40,000 storefronts of all retail formats across Canada. We were honoured to be nominated for several marketing awards from the RCC, including winning for our digital videos and winning the Excellence in Retail Marketing Award for our Back To School campaign in 2017.
We also expanded our social media presence, joining Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest to reach more than 90,000 amazing followers.
With so much on the rise, we can't wait to see what comes next!
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.
