Hey there. I just got a press release from MetroKitchen. They’re celebrating their 10-year anniversary with a bunch of exclusive items and a pretty cool sweepstakes. It looks like the sweepstakes itself will start on November 15th.

October 30, 2008 – To celebrate MetroKitchen.com’s 10 year anniversary of selling on-line direct to consumers, companies like Mauviel and All-Clad Metalcrafters LLC and Wusthof have created new and unique products to be sold only at Metrokitchen this holiday season.

This Fall, MetroKitchen.com celebrates 10 years as the premiere on-line retailer for top brands of cookware and cutlery. Over the span of 10 years, MetroKitchen has expanded its upscale
product line to include other kitchenware products, such as gourmet electric appliances and wine accessories. While most online retailers have come and gone, and other home goods stores struggle, MetroKitchen continues to grow and expand its selection of product lines, establishing unique relationships with the top brands used by and found in professional chefs and finest kitchens around the world. MetroKitchen CEO Lynn Clarke says, “Every employee at MetroKitchen follows the guide of treating our customers the way each of us wants to be treated. That’s why top brands such as All-Clad, Wusthof and Mauviel have selected us as their on-line retailer.” MetroKitchen is proud to offer several exclusive product sets for the upcoming holiday season from top cookware/cutlery brands such as All-Clad, Wusthof, Henckels and Mauviel.
