Our Story
Kitchens® is the fulfillment of a dream that founder Mitzie Collins had. Her idea was to bring affordable quality cookware and kitchen tools to the everyday cook. Mitzie’s love of cooking combined with the inability to find these things locally led her to create the concept of Kitchens®. She envisioned a store that sold items in smaller metropolitan areas that could be used by professional chefs and home cooks alike. So, in conjunction with her husband Jeff, the first Kitchens® store opened it’s doors in 1992 in Evansville, Indiana.
One year later, with a trademark secured, a second store was opened in Davenport, Iowa. In 2001 we opened the Eden Prairie, MN location & in 2010 our Branson, MO location was opened. All offering an exceptional selection of quality cookware, unique kitchen tools, amazing utensils, which includes a knife section that offers some of the best cutting edge technology to date. Gourmet foods and freshly ground coffees are offered as well. Our Davenport location has a full service coffee bar, offering a tempting array of regular and flavored coffee and teas as well as espressos, lattés, and cappuccinos.
Kitchens® locations are overseen by the General Manager and Buyer, Kathleen Collins, who joined the company in 1997. Store locations are:
Northpark Mall – Davenport, Iowa
Eden Prairie Center – Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Branson Landing – Branson, Missouri
