Extending its UK growth commitment, these overseas launches unite ambitious talent with a proven, high-performing business model.

New Kutchenhaus locations in Kilkenny, Brno and Sofia, are each led by owners who possess a deep industry knowledge and a passionate commitment to excellence in design and end-to-end service. Empowered by the German kitchen brand’s owner-centric model, the new franchise partners will lead their businesses into new markets with the reassurance and backing of the UK’s fastest-growing kitchen franchise.

Kutchenhaus Kilkenny

Ireland’s first Kutchenhaus showroom has officially opened its doors in Kilkenny, owned and managed by Paula and Liam Holohan. With her extensive industry experience and a distinctive personal approach, Paula is dedicated to designing kitchens that inspire, while delivering a truly outstanding customer experience.

Working previously as a kitchen designer and within graphic design, Paula becomes the proud owner of her first kitchen showroom, thanks to a model which works for her and partner Liam.

Introduced to Kutchenhaus at the KBB show in Birmingham, Paula was immediately impressed by its considered lead-generation processes and the high level of support available to her across the entire Kutchenhaus team as a first-time showroom owner.

“Speaking with the team, I could see straight away the significant backing I’d receive if I were to become a franchise partner. 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.”

Once on board, Paula and members of the Kutchenhaus team collaborated to choose the perfect location in Kilkenny. “Kutchenhaus flew out and worked closely with me to visit and review different showroom locations. 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 says.

“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!”

Kutchenhaus franchise partners gain the advantage of the brand’s extensive industry experience, ensuring expert support is always available to aid with business decisions. Across the network, franchise partners form a community of dedicated professionals, united by their shared ambition.

For owners like Paula and Liam, the differentiation of the Kutchenhaus model from others, and the dedicated support at every step, enabled them to confidently start a business they’re genuinely excited about.

Kutchenhaus Brno, Czech Republic

The new Brno showroom is owned by experienced kitchen specialist Pavel Holderik, who has extensive Kutchenhaus expertise, having already owned a successful showroom in the UK.

Now taking the next step, Pavel is proudly introducing Kutchenhaus to his home country, leveraging his UK experience to bring the brand’s proven concept to the Czech market.

He comments: “As a previous showroom owner, I know the exceptional end-to-end business support you receive from Kutchenhaus. Brno is developing rapidly and, thanks to the brand’s owner‑focused model, I’ve introduced something completely new to the city.

“Opening the new showroom has been a real team effort and, with the support of my Kutchenhaus colleagues, I’m now proud to bring our German‑engineered kitchens to the Czech Republic.”

Kutchenhaus is continuing its growth in the region, with plans already underway to open a second showroom in 2026 – further strengthening the brand’s presence and reputation.

Kutchenhaus Sofia, Bulgaria

The opening of Bulgaria’s first Kutchenhaus kitchen showroom marks an exciting new chapter for interior and kitchen specialist Toni Mehmed-Georgieva and her husband, home renovation expert Kaloyan Georgiev. “The first ‘wow’ moment for me was a visit to Germany,” explains Toni.

“Here, I could see the scale of the product range and the focus of the brand whilst meeting other members of the Kutchenhaus family. I always describe it as a family, as that’s what I feel it is, and this family feeling is one of the main reasons I chose Kutchenhaus.

“There is always someone you can turn to should you need support. I felt that Kutchenhaus really cared about me, and the team helped throughout my journey opening Kutchenhaus Sofia.

“From the off, experts supported me through this process and offered their valuable advice. Complete support services, such as design, checking, ordering, logistics and training, have been incredibly valuable and have made this dream possible.”

Toni adds: “Bulgaria is an entirely different market to the UK, therefore I was delighted that the team allowed me to lead on what I knew would be right for my location. I have the freedom to make decisions that are best for my business, but with the backing and security of the brand.”
