According to a recent permit filing, Kitchen & Market plans to expand with a new location in Kirkland at 10426 Northup Way Suite A.
A representative of Kitchen & Market was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Seattle’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, according to the company website, the Kirkland location is slated to open sometime soon.
“Long before Kitchen & Market’s Stephanie King created her dream grocery store, she spent a career in private-label grocery building programs for national retailers, where days were long and “what’s for dinner?” was a dreaded question–and typically, an afterthought.”
“King’s business idea for a highly curated, European-style market with restaurant-quality meal kits bubbled up around 2016, but it wasn’t until the world fell into the throes of COVID that momentum really took hold. King, along with her daughter Hannah, began testing out her meal kits as part of area nonprofit fundraisers, and the recipes, culled from her tried-and-true favorites, were a hit.”
“She locked into the idea that shopping should be pleasant and focused, with a simplified but elevated product mix and meal kits versatile enough to scale or repurpose into great second (even third!) meals. In Nov. 2021, King opened her flagship Pike Place Market shop, followed by a location on her resident Mercer Island in Oct. 2022, and most recently opened Medina in March 2023. She often jokingly describes her store concept as “If Dean & Deluca and Trader Joe’s made a Blue Apron baby.”
