Sub-Zero and Wolf Showroom to Open in Boston

November 10, 2014

Clarke, New England’s official Sub-Zero & Wolf showroom and test kitchen, has announced its first downtown Boston location, slated for opening in May 2015. To develop what’s being called the “showroom of the future” and “Clarke 3.0,” the distributor has purchased a 38,000-sq.-ft. building located at 7 Tide Street in Boston’s Seaport Innovation District.

“We are very excited about this project,” said Clarke general manager Sean Clarke, who has worked with his father, company founder and CEO Tom Clarke, to identify the right property for their third New England location, which will be the 35th Sub-Zero and Wolf showroom in the country. “We dedicated two years to intensive strategic business planning that guided us to develop an urban location – and another 18 months to finding the right building in Boston.”

Clarke has had a Sub-Zero & Wolf showroom and test kitchen off Route 495 in Milford, Mass., and another in South Norwalk, Conn., since 2002. Clarke has invited A.W. Hastings, New England’s distributor for Marvin Windows and Doors, to become part of the Boston showroom project.

“Windows are an integral part of almost every kitchen design project,” said Sean Clarke. “When we saw the incredible synergy between our two distribution companies, including the customers we serve and the philosophy that guides us, we knew this would be a win-win for everyone. Through dynamic full-size kitchens and unique room spaces, visitors will see how our products work seamlessly together. And, for Boston architects and designers, this provides an efficient opportunity to make one stop and check two boxes off the list to button up a project.”
