Ki's was started as a simple idea in a small converted beauty shop in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. In 1980, Catherine "Ki" Holcomb partnered with her son, Barry, to provide the local community with fresh juice and vitamins. Shortly after, Ki started cooking home style meals prepared in a healthful manner. The meals were a hit, and the popularity of Ki's grew steadily.
In 1994, to facilitate ever-growing popularity, Ki's moved from its original location to a two-story, ocean view home on South Coast Highway 101 where it resides today. It was at this time that Ki's Kitchen was founded as a separate company and started providing fresh salads, sandwiches dressings, salsas, and baked goods throughout San Diego county.
Ki's has been privately owned by the Holcomb family since its inception. Besides continuing to grow the business and foster customer loyalty, the Holcomb family has looked to enrich the community by providing nutritious, great tasting food. Hopefully, you will enjoy the Ki's experience with your friends and family in the years to come!
Ki's approaches business with awareness of the environment. It recycles and compost as much as possible(75-80%) of our waist . Ki's ongoing plan is to regularly integrate environmentally friendly actions into its day-to-day business. Long ago Ki's became a pioneering user of the now pervasive biodegradable brown napkin. These days, Ki's is moving toward containers that can be composted and removing plastics from our local operation.
