At the beginning of this year we launched a rocket taking us among the stars. On an international event GIA Global 2017 we received an award that has for the first time in country's history placed Czech Republic and Prague on the map for an international houseware retail community. Judges and jury at this year’s GIA in Chicago specifically mentioned the refined professionalism that is applied to every element of the Potten & Pannen - Staněk KitchenAid Concept Store & Gourmet Academy by Potten & Pannen - Staněk. “They do an exceptional job of entertaining their customers at in-store events, including culinary classes and product training,” one judge commented, also noting that the team is excellent at merging the website with the brick-and-mortar store. “There is truly inspiring content available online, bringing the experience to life for the customer.”
Philosophy Potten & Pannen - Staněk KitchenAid Concept Store & Gourmet Academy
That particular philosophy brought Potten & Pannen - Staněk KitchenAid Concept Store & Gourmet Academy to life in 2014. Stemming from the natural synergy between quality artisan kitchenware that catches life through artful everyday cooking experience. “All of our stores are equipped with state-of-the-art kitchens so that our clients can test and use every product before they decide upon a purchase,” explains Pavel. “The fully-equipped kitchen enables customers to experience products in their natural context, rather than as products on a shelf.”
And that is what we are all about, that is what defines Potten & Pannen - Staněk. We are a proud importer of over 36 brands that we brought to Czech and Slovak market where we introduced renowned brands such as Zwilling, Emile Henry, KitchenAid, Mauviel, Peugeot, Rosenthal, Villeroy & Boch and many more. “Our grounding philosophy is simple,” says Pavel Staněk, company’s CEO. “Our company is all about creating harmony between quality, design and excellent service. Since opening our doors in 1992, we have been enabling customers to elevate cooking, dining and everything related to the kitchen, to a state of art.”
Quality and customer always come first and this unbeatable combination led to one of our most appreciated collaborations and products - The Pohlreich Selection with fabulous chef Zdeněk Pohlreich. “This is not the usual marketing move”, says Pavel Staněk. “This is a long-term project based on mutual trust, understanding and sharing of same values - respect to artisan quality, emphasis on lifetime value and passion for beauty.”
