Kitchen Window Relocates

Kitchen Window in Minneapolis, MN is on the move this week. Doug and Lia Huemoeller moved their store to a new address. Well, it's the same address actually a new location in the mall the store's called home for 25 years.

The kitchenware store and culinary school will still remain at Calhoun Square, 3001 Hennepin Avenue, but as of yesterday - the greatly expanded store occupies the space at the main entrance of the mall and features two cooking schools - the upper level cooking school upstairs overlooks the main pedestrian area.

The old location provided 5,500 square feet of retail, while the new location is comprised of 7,800 square feet of retail in an overall space of 17,000 square feet.

“I am extremely excited and feel really good about the new location. The way it turned out is amazing,” Doug Huemoeller said. “We’ve been working on this for five years.”

Some of the changes include a cutlery assortment that’s doubled, Huemoeller explained there is now a knife sharpening station in the front window complemented with three water wheels and traditional water stones.

The expanded outdoor cooking area gives the store the ability to feature their annual events in a fabulous setting with plenty of room for items such as 200-person paella pans and 150 pots for lobster boils. Kitchen Window is heading outside as well with its own private sidewalk area in the mall’s pedestrian way allowing for truly outdoor demonstrations.

“It’s just a great event space for us,” Huemoeller said.

Cheers to Kitchen Window – for a much anticipated move and expansion. The TGR team looks forward to the grand opening celebration in January!
