Meet our Team:

Gretchen, Owner of The Kitchen Loft in Kerrytown
Gretchen:
The entrepreneur and creative retail mind behind The Kitchen Loft, Gretchen brings a career's worth of experience in ALL things retail together with a simple passion for home cooking. She thrives on customer interactions and loves to curate a unique selection of wonderful finds for the shop, assisted by customer requests that help shape the assortment. Kerrytown was the perfect place to start this journey within a vibrant Ann Arbor district, having wonderful neighboring businesses, an adjacent farmer's market and an art and food-centric mix of businesses. Looking to serve Ann Arbor for many years to come!   
           
 
  
Karin: An Ann Arbor native, Karin brings a wealth of foodie experience to the shop and loves to share her knowledge with others. A busy wife and mom of 2 incredible kids, she has an Associate's degree from the Culinary Institute of America and a BS in Dietetics. She has been super enthusiastic about The Kitchen Loft and its product since day one and is one of our own best customers! She'd love to show you her favorite gadgets and linens!

 

 

 

Paul: Paul is also a local Ann Arborite, who has his finger on the pulse of the city! He's worked around the area in many food and coffee-related businesses and can talk world cuisine with the best of them! He has a love for fitness, travel and culture, enjoys connecting with all sorts of people and will help you find just what you're looking for in our small but mighty kitchen shop! Beware his punny humor :) 

 

NEW Team Members: Watch this space for updates including our newest additions to The Kitchen Loft team! 

 

 John: An honorary team member, Gretchen's husband John did a lot of the heavy lifting (literally!) in the beginning stages of the store when the build out and initial inventory were taking shape. While he has his own career with the Ann Arbor VA and doesn't work in the store, he visits the crew and helps out when needed, as well as providing much-needed moral support at home.

We welcome you to say hello when you are in Kerrytown, we'd love to meet you and serve your kitchen needs!
