The opportunity

Kitchen Studio Group comprises 12 franchisees and 16 independently owned showrooms providing a strong presence in both city and provincial centres throughout the country. The showrooms are a window to the nation and provide the network of Kitchen Studio Approved Suppliers with a unique opportunity to display their product as part of actual real-life kitchens. A key aspect of our Supplier Partnerships is selling only those brands we have on display in our showrooms and available in our state-of-the-art kitchen ordering system. The showrooms all showcase a minimum of 3 full size kitchens and in some cases laundry and wardrobe displays.

Kitchen Studio is the only true national kitchen retailer with showrooms from Dunedin to Auckland and plenty of opportunity for growth in each territory.

Each territory is large enough to support a satellite showroom for franchisees to grow their footprint and increase sales reach.

Kitchen Studio has introduced new systems to simplify the sale and purchase process, including a screen to machine design package.

Total Trust Deposit Guarantee – providing peace of mind to our customers that their deposits are secure in the event of a franchisee failure.

Total Trust Guarantee – 10-year transferable warranty on all kitchens.

Reader's Digest NZ Most Trusted Kitchen Brand

Kitchen Studio has won the prestigious Readers Digest NZ Trusted Brands award for Kitchen Designers and Manufacturers – 8 years in a row! As well as winning Most Trusted Brand – Marketing Award in 2022! 

Other Benefits

Whilst Kitchen Studio uses a typical franchising operating structure, the franchise is jointly owned by the franchisees, similar to a co-operative. Successful new franchisees are invited to become shareholders in the franchise after a qualifying period of typically 1 - 2 years and receive an annual dividend.

  • An intranet company manual and a variety of Sales & Operational guides

  • Monthly national Designer & Operations meetings

What do our franchisees say?

"I joined Kitchen Studio as designer; now I own a franchise. With Kitchen Studio there is plenty of collegial support from both the national support office and other franchisees. This was something I wanted as I had previously been a sole trader, which, at times can be lonely."
