The Cook’s Warehouse Plans New Store, Cooking School

The Cook’s Warehouse confirmed plans for a store and cooking school to open in Chamblee by April 2017. The location, which will be in Peachtree Station, previously known as Peachtree Crossing, will be anchored by a 45,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market, and will also include over a dozen other tenants.   

Located near Whole Foods, this newest store under The Cook's Warehouse umbrella will serve as a replacement for the store previously in Brookhaven Station that closed in 2015.  At that time, The Cook's Warehouse Founder and CEO Mary S. Moore pledged to continue her search for a better location and parking situation that would allow her to return to this rapidly growing market.  While the new store is officially in Chamblee, it's only two miles north of the old location on Peachtree, and will serve the same market as well as draw in customers along the northeast corridor.

Because of the proximity of Whole Foods Market and a non-compete on wine, the new store will be exclusively The Cook's Warehouse and not co-branded with Sherlock’s Wine Merchant. At 4,500 square feet, the space will be 50 percent larger than the previous Brookhaven location. The larger footprint will include a teaching kitchen for hosting the company's popular cooking classes, as well as an outdoor patio for grilling classes and special events. 

The showroom-quality kitchen will feature Wolf/Sub-Zero appliances, a longtime vendor partner. The larger space will allow for bigger classes and a greater variety of products. The Cook's Warehouse already operates Atlanta area locations in Ansley Mall, Decatur and Merchant's Walk in East Cobb (another Whole Foods-anchored center).

Moore says: “I appreciate the continued support from our customers in this market and am thrilled to have found an exceptional new location. The ease of parking, ingress and egress, and co-tenancy in this center are a much better fit for us and our customers.”

The Cook’s Warehouse is greater Atlanta’s award-winning gourmet cookware store and cooking school.  It offers more than 15,000 products for the kitchen and operates the largest avocational cooking school in the Southeast, conducting more than 800 classes yearly, often taught by local chefs, and has a large web-based delivery-by-post site.

Owned and operated by Moore, The Cook’s Warehouse also retails high-end appliances; conducts private cooking classes for unique celebrations and corporate events; and is a pro bono partner with virtually every major cooking event and gourmet association in Atlanta.
