KITCHEN FRANCHISE KUTCHENHAUS has opened a new showroom in Kilkenny, marking the retail network’s first steps into the Irish market. Owned by Paula and Liam Holohan, the new Kutchenhaus Kilkenny store opened on March 14. It measures more than 3,300 sq ft and has more than 12 different displays. According to the franchise, the Nobilia-backed showroom offers German
kitchens and a wide range of brands, such as Neff, Siemens, Smeg, Caple, Quooker, and Blanco. The opening also marks kitchen designer and graphic designer Paula Holohan’s first showroom of her own. “Speaking with the team, I could see straight away the significant backing I’d receive if I were to become a franchise partner,” she said. “From CRM systems to marketing, website and branding, it was explained clearly from the outset that we would not be doing this alone.” “There was an infectious, positive attitude, and I loved the fact that so
many showroom owners in the network were also women. This was key in my decision to choose Kutchenhaus and I’m so pleased I did.” According to Holohan, the Kutchenhaus team worked closely with her to
review several different potential showroom locations, eventually settling on its Kilkenny site. “I can’t stress enough how incredibly beneficial this was and, once it was decided, I worked with the brand’s showroom designers to make the dream a reality,” she recalls. “I have to pinch myself when I think of how far we’ve come. From
showroom design and product training to technical support, there’s always been someone there to help me on this journey. They know what works, as they’ve been there and done it before. I joke that the new Kilkenny showroom is my baby, I’m that invested and happy with it!”. In related news, Kutchenhaus also recently passed its 100th showroom milestone with the opening of its new Beckenham store.
