Kutchenhaus

A Kutchenhaus franchise is a German kitchen showroom, and it is the UK retail arm of nobilia, Europe’s market-leading kitchen manufacturer.

The brand reached its 100th UK showroom in 2026 with an opening at Beckenham in Greater London, having grown from fewer than ten showrooms in 2017. That makes it one of the fastest-growing kitchen franchise networks in the country. It also trades in Portugal, Australia and the United States.

Because nobilia owns the brand, every kitchen is manufactured to order in Germany rather than assembled from third-party components, and franchise partners buy at direct factory pricing. nobilia exports to more than 75 countries and produces in excess of 3,000 fully assembled kitchens a day.

Why Choose the Franchise Kutchenhaus?

There is no upfront franchise fee. The company is explicit that partners pay nothing to Kutchenhaus to join, buying only their kitchens, and it designs and installs the showroom free of charge. That removes the two largest fixed costs at the front of most retail franchises.

Typical year one running costs are £80,000 to £120,000, and the company helps partners secure funding for up to 70% of setup costs through a leading UK bank, with repayment scheduled over five years. It states an average break-even point of £250,000 for showrooms, with realistic three-year turnover of £400,000 to £2 million, and top-performing showrooms exceeding £2 million a year after three years of trading.

Support comes from a team of over 45 specialists at the support centre, covering training, showroom design, team recruitment, lead generation from head office, full website integration and UK-based technical support. The franchise agreement is described as straightforward, intended to avoid heavy legal costs.

Three types of franchise opportunity are available, designed for an individual, a group or a company. Multi-showroom ownership is common: the partner who opened the 100th showroom runs three, and others have built portfolios of two or more.
