| - My wife and I can't seem to walk past a kitchen specialty store without walking in...and buying something...but for the most part, they're all pretty similar. They'll carry everything you could imagine, from low-end products to high-end items, and you'll always walk out with something you didn't plan on buying in the first place.
The only thing that I feel really sets most places apart is their staff. Are they knowledgeable? Are they nice? Are they helpful? Are they obnoxious and pushy salespeople?
Having been in countless specialty stores, I can honestly say that In The Kitchen is one of the best places to shop. Maybe it's the fact that they're locally owned and operated, but their staff has always been very helpful and incredibly nice. Plus, since they changed the layout of the registers, the store is a lot more open and easier to navigate. If you haven't been in for a while, you'll notice the difference immediately!
Overall, I think the independently-owned nature of In The Kitchen is what really makes it unique. If you're in the market for kitchen wares and you want to support local business, In The Kitchen is the place to go. Great selection, welcoming staff, and fair prices. It's is the perfect place to buy that random gadget that you don't have that would allow you to make the crazy recipe you conjured up when you were roaming the aisles of Penn Mac for an hour.
