Christine’s Kitchens

Ownership

Owner Christine Ameigh launched this venture on East Washington in 2014, and she is identified as a Madison resident who dreamed of opening this business since high school. The business is structured as an LLC with no corporate or franchise involvement.

Local Sourcing

The online store serves as a lifeline for more than 70 local businesses, and it sells food online sourced from a variety of local producers. Nearly all products come from local Madison and Wisconsin vendors.

Community Involvement

Ameigh has launched a weekly market featuring local food, live music and art occurring each Wednesday from 5-8 p.m., and Off the Block program may come in to do tastings with the community. The business actively invests in neighborhood revitalization and community building.

Local Workforce

Limited information available on wages or employment practices. Some staff members are mentioned by name (Jaeryn Smith as operations manager, Cat Sundeen), suggesting some stability, but no reviews or detailed information about labor practices or compensation were found.

Revenue Retention

Vendors receive payment directly upon dropping off their orders at the East Washington Avenue kitchen, and the business model ensures revenue flows directly to 70+ local vendors. The business is fundamentally designed to keep revenue circulating within the local Madison community.

Local Presence

No website available to analyze.
