Who are we at Barb’s Kitchen Centre

We are a family owned and operated business.  Founded in March of 1986 by Barbara and Tim Lockert.  The store remains family owned and operated.  Celeste Nicholson and her husband Gordon Sieben took over the business in October of 2019.  Barb and Tim continue to be an integral part of the team, and the store but are spending more time with grandchildren and travelling.

Celeste and Gordon believe cooking is a task to be enjoyed and shared. As a busy family with kids in sports and music we often don’t get to eat together; however, with a little planning we have always managed to make preparing meals a family event.

We continue to fill the store with high quality small appliances, innovative gadgets “that work” and fresh baking products for cooking and baking. We regularly provide meal preparation tips to our customers, and are always available to answer questions.  We offer a variety of weekly classes in everything from bread making to chocolate creating, teaching our customers how to “Save Time, Save Money and Retain Nutrition”. These classes demonstrate cooking using our equipment and supplies and help take away the fear of failing and help you get the most out of your skills in the kitchen.  The recipes and equipment are easily mastered – we want you to become a kitchen master.

Services also provided include mail orders, gift certificates, bridal registry, summer kids cooking classes, adult cooking classes, as well as warranty and repair service, in house for items we sell.

We look forward to serving our customers, and continuing the legacy Barb and Tim started.
