Kathy Kudler is the creator of the gourmet food shop; her vision was much more than opening a simple food shop. Passionate about gourmet cooking and frustrated at having to travel all over town to gather the ingredients for one simple meal, Kathy Kudler decided to open her own gourmet food shop. Her vision was to create one store that would stock a wide selection of the freshest ingredients as well as all of the tools a gourmet cook could ever want. Kathy was certain that combining the convenience of one-stop shopping with reasonable prices would be a recipe for success. The success of Kudler's shop is because of the many characteristics that her shop offers. For example providing a great variety of fresh foods with no conservatives, great prices and the great customer service Kudler and her employees offer.
