The Heart of a Home Is Transformed by Legacy Kitchens by Rennay Craats | Published by Brittany Fouquette

ome is where the heart is, and that heart has always been found in the family kitchen. Legacy Kitchens has been bringing that heart to life for 40 years and counting, creating dream kitchens for Calgary homeowners. The Buller family knows kitchens: they started Winnipeg-based Kitchen Craft Connection in 1977 and John Buller moved to Calgary to run the western locations in 1978. The industry boomed, but when the economy crashed in the early 1980s, construction lagged and home builders floundered. John and a partner took a chance and bought the three Alberta locations from Kitchen Craft in 1984. Starting with a small team, they poured their talents and attention
into the Calgary store which they rebranded as Legacy Kitchens in 1999 and remains the flagship for the company today. Since the early 1990s, Legacy has added seven additional locations in Calgary, Kelowna and Arizona, and are proud to meet the diversity of customer needs. As Legacy grew into a highly respected and successful organization serving homeowners and homebuilders, Stephen and Andrew Buller became second-generation leaders, ready to carry Legacy Kitchens into the future. They were the perfect succession choice having worked their way up from sweeping floors and loading trailers as teens to estimating projects and ultimately leadership roles in the company.
