Sur La Table was founded in 1972 by culinary aficionado Shirley Collin and was created at a time when it was difficult to find many of the premium-quality culinary tools for chefs and home cooks alike. Shirley began her dream with an intimate retail space located in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, the oldest continuously operated farmers market in the United States. As someone who cooks with fresh local ingredients, Shirley chose a location that made Seattle’s bounty of fresh produce and seafood easily accessible to Sur La Table customers.Word quickly spread about the quirky little shop packed to the rafters with everything for cooks. Guided by Shirley’s culinary passion and prowess, Sur La Table’s expansive selection of hard-to-find and cutting-edge utensils soon had food enthusiasts from around the globe making a pilgrimage to Seattle.  Many successful years later, in 1995, Sur La Table was purchased by the Behnke family of Seattle . Kindred culinary spirits, the Behnkes soon set out to share this wonderful Seattle institution with other cities. Opening a second store in Berkeley that same year, Sur La Table has since expanded across the country. and currently operates locations throughout the United States, with more stores opening in 2005.
