Kitchen & Bath Mart

What Kitchen & Bath Mart does

Kitchen & Bath Mart is a second-generation, family-owned design-build home remodeling company founded in 1958 and headquartered in Niles, Illinois. The company provides end-to-end kitchen and bathroom renovation services, including custom cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, faucetry, lighting, and in-house warranted installation, supplemented by cabinet refacing, laundry room remodeling, whole-house remodeling, general contracting, and entertainment/bar area services. It sources products through dealer relationships with brands such as Wood-Mode, Dura Supreme, KOHLER, Cambria, Brizo, Grohe, and ROHL, and maintains two company-owned showrooms in Niles and Palatine serving the greater Chicagoland market.

The business operates on a project-based, professional services revenue model. Pricing is fully custom and quoted per engagement; the company does not publish standard pricing. A consumer financing program delivered through a partnership with Regions Bank offers 12-month same-as-cash, 6.99% APR 5-year, and traditional installment loan products that lower the affordability barrier for larger projects. The company sells exclusively through direct channels: showroom visits, in-home consultations, and a dedicated 'For The Trades' division serving builders, contractors, architects, and interior designers. Marketing is primarily organic and referral-based, including blog content, Facebook and Instagram presence, and profiles on Houzz and Yelp.

Kitchen & Bath Mart's core technology is its design-build methodology and in-house installation capability rather than any proprietary software platform; no APIs, SDKs, AI capabilities, or technology integrations are referenced. Competitive advantage is anchored in senior design talent (designers with 30-50+ years of experience), nearly seven decades of local brand equity, and direct manufacturer relationships that enable custom ordering and quality control. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
