Visiting KitchenAid for its Annual August Sale

26 March 201614 December 2024

It was a beautiful day in August and I drove the hour and a half commute to downtown Greenville, Ohio to check out the KitchenAid Experience retail center.  I have a love for all things KitchenAid and was so surprised to learn that this amazing brand was actually made in my home state of Ohio.

As soon as I stepped inside, I was salivating from the selection of exceptional kitchen products in so many colors.  KitchenAid products were first introduced to the public in 1919 with the development of the stand mixer. An idea, developed by engineer Herbert Johnston, this appliance became the “best kitchen aid” a woman could have ever had.

For a time, I envied every woman who had a KitchenAid mixer.  I saved for two years to purchase one for myself in hopes of making the perfect meringue and whipped mashed potatoes.  I was more excited now to browse through all of the attachments for my mixer and any additional appliances that would match my new toy.

Visitors are also invited to attend cooking demonstrations and events revolved around the art of cooking and baking. With the help of KitchenAid products, attendees can learn how to create every day meals to gourmet dishes to bring out the true chef in everyone.  Check out their online schedule for classes which are offered on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Viewing the KitchenAid’s complete line of bakeware, cookware and cutlery, I decided to make my way to the basement to check out some of their refurbished items on sale.  I was also excited to learn more about the KitchenAid brand by visiting their downstairs museum.

The KitchenAid Stand Mixer were initially made for commercial bakers.  At the Greenville plant, the mixer for home use was produced in 1919, weighing in at 68 pounds.  The museum displays original stand mixers and shows its evolution from its early prototypes to the most recent designs available in stores today.

One of my favorite stops at the museum was the Julia Child’s Stand Mixer display.

While the KitchenAid brand has been producing their legendary stand mixer for years, today, visitors can leave with a number of products for the home cook.  From blenders to toasters and in between, the KitchenAid Experience is a great way to purchase one of the world’s best known kitchen products and attend a cooking demonstration to learn more about their additional offerings.
