Kennia's Gourmet Emporium, who sold upscale kitchenware, featured all kinds of cookware, bakeware, small appliances, and anything else that had to do with the kitchen. When the link to Kennia.com from our site stopped working, we called the phone number for their downtown Toronto store and we heard the dreaded message "the number you have dialed is not in service". We tried the fax number out of curiosity and received the same recorded message. Should Kennia exist again some day and offer prices in Canadian dollars, we'll add them to our site again.
