Modern Retail, February 7, 2025 /Store of the Future/ Sur La Table is betting more on exclusive partnerships to stand out in cookware
Sur La Table’s new collaboration strategy is focused on exclusives and partnering with brands and people with deep culinary expertise.
Product exclusives have been a part of 52-year-old Sur La Table’s retail strategy for some time. But over the past year, the retailer has placed an increased emphasis on exclusives as it vies to differentiate itself among the fierce competition. In recent months, Sur La Table also unveiled other exclusive product collaborations with Breville and Le Creuset. Its other 2024 collaborations included a cooking class partnership with Holland America, inspired by the cruise line’s ports around the world. Over the past year, Sur La Table rolled out 10 exclusive collaborations or product offerings with brands that include Staub, Shun and Scanpan.
Kristin Flor Perret, head of brand marketing at Sur La Table, joined the company in 2023. Since then, she has been heading the effort to bring its focus back to chef-driven product collaborations and cooking education through its cooking classes. “When you look at all of the products and content that’s out there, you’re not going to win on the endless aisle,” Perret said.
Perret arrived at Sur La Table at a time when buying behavior is constantly shifting within the cookware categories. “We’re very fortunate to be coming off of a successful holiday season,” Perret said. The collaborations leading up to the big shopping season were a big part of that success. The retailer does not break out its financial performance. However, Perret said, “We’ve just had our most successful peak ever, and we are beating industry standards on our performance.”
