Ten years ago, Jill donned a hard hat and work boots, and put the finishing touches on a tiny corner store in Covent Garden Market, in London, Ontario. It was the first Jill’s Table. She had two young children at home and, at 39 years old, was following a dream to open her own business. A decade later at its current location at 115 King Street, London, Jill’s Table continues to define itself as a “Feast of Kitchen Essentials.”

An award recipient of the prestigious CGTA Retailer of the Year and subject of numerous business and lifestyle articles, Jill’s Table always has great new products sourced from a number of international gift shows, as well as specialized local and Canadian products.

Visit the store and you’ll notice that it proudly identifies nationally produced items with Canadian flags. Its selection of kitchen essentials is the ideal place for the home and professional cook to find the items they need. And, to give a foodie the perfect gift, an easy way to do so is to purchase a Jill’s Table gift card or gift basket. “I love working with our customers,” says Jill. “The kitchen is the heart of any home, and our customers are looking to build that kitchen or continuing to supply their kitchens with items and products that round out the warmth of their homes.
