She continued reinvesting the money she was making to process more sauces which she sold to her network.

In early 2017, she was advised to visit Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) where she would be trained on stabilising the products to reach a wider market.

"At KIRDI, I learnt how to process sauces and package them more professionally and efficiently," says Winnie.

The products have a shelf-life of 12 months when unopened, and six months once they are opened and refrigerated.

Winnie registered Her Kitchn as a private company in February 2017. She also registered for the certification marks with the Kenya Bureau of Standards.

She did not take the business to retail until April 2019 when she was listed as a supplier at Chandarana Supermarkets across the country. Since then, Her Kitchn has been listed in Naivas and Quickmat supermarkets.

They are also stocked at other stores like Springvalley Supermarket, Karen Provision Stores, Gilani and Hurligham Butcheries, Marketways Supermarket and Midway Butchery in Valley Arcade, Shamba Cafe in Loresho as well as Rainbow Groceries in Springvalley.

Her Kitchn has a pickup store at Imenti House in Nairobi CBD and they also engage in online delivery.

A big milestone for the company came early last year when the company was able to set up a kitchen for its production processes from sales revenue.

Her Kitchn became an ISO-certified company on May 5, 2022: ISO 14001:2015 - EMS.
