When Bob Johns moved to Texas, he didn’t plan to enter the retail industry. Working as a manufacturer’s rep for a top cabinet company, he soon saw a gap in the market — and an opportunity to transform the kitchen remodel experience.
In 1991, he founded The Kitchen Source with a simple belief: The kitchen is more than a place to cook — it’s where families connect, stories unfold, and life happens. What began as a small, family-run cabinetry business has grown into a full-service design and remodel firm serving clients across the U.S., with showrooms in Dallas, Southlake, and Fort Worth.
In 2013, his daughter, Jennifer Johns, an Aggie and VP of Operations, joined the company, bringing a background in technology that modernized systems, streamlined workflows, and elevated client experience. Together, they’ve built a culture of collaboration, accountability, and craftsmanship.
The company’s success is fueled by trust — 75% of its work comes from referrals. Guided by the mantra, “A customer is the most important visitor on our premises…,” The Kitchen Source has become known for precision, service, and heart.
The firm also opens its showrooms for nonprofit events and supports causes such as SafeHaven, A Wish with Wings, and cystic fibrosis research.
