After moving to McKinney in 2004 with experience from the manufacturer and distributor side of kitchen supplies, Karen Chandler fell in love with downtown McKinney.
“After becoming familiar with independent kitchen stores and visiting many of them across the country, I decided downtown McKinney needed a new one,” Chandler said. “So with my industry knowledge and love of downtown McKinney, Kitchenwares on the Square was born in September 2010.”
Chandler said Kitchenwares on the Square is the only independently owned kitchenware store in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, adding that she takes pride in that fact and works to keep the store stocked with plenty of well-priced options. The store stocks only products vetted by Chandler.
“People are drawn to Kitchenwares because we have amazing products at great prices,” she said. “We are either the same or cheaper than any major mass Kitchenware retailer. We have all the major brands and a better selection of products.”
The expertise of the staff also makes Kitchenwares on the Square popular among shoppers, Chandler said.
