With his partner, Kathy Mallane, he runs Ketchum Kitchens, a gourmet kitchenware store that first opened in Ketchum in 1994. At the time, Don was a Chateau Drug partner. The store had a small but growing line of high-end kitchenware and he decided that a new store would fill an empty retail niche for the more luxurious end of homemaking items. He was right. Starting at 800 square feet, Ketchum Kitchens is now four times its original size and chock full of well-priced homemaker delights. It sells everything from Italian handcrafted tableware to gourmet foods, top-branded cookware to elegant picnic baskets, multitudinous cookbooks to state-of-the-art utensils, including the largest knife collection in Idaho. Don and Kathy base their business model on three fundamentals. First, they provide a wide variety of high-quality merchandise at
