Stop by on Sunday, November 23 for our annual Champagne Stroll from 12 to 5 pm. We will have delicious holiday goodies and, of course, our favorite champagne punch available. Kitchen Conservatory and the other merchants on Clayton Road between Brentwood and Hanley roads all participate in a scavenger hunt. The winner gets a gift certificate that can be used at any of the stores.

Sunday also marks the start of our holiday hours. We will be open for shopping Monday through Thursday from 9:30 am to 7 pm, Friday and Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, and Sundays 12 to 5 pm. Yes, we still offer complimentary gift wrapping!

Our website is open 24 hours a day. This year, Kitchen Conservatory has a special new service: online gift certificates. You can purchase a gift certificate online and then print it from your own computer — so you don’t have to fight traffic to visit us or rely on the mail service. The gift certificates can be used for merchandise or cooking classes and can be redeemed online or over the telephone or in person.
