Our Story

A Pillar of the Twin Falls Community

Rudy’s has been your cherished local spot in Twin Falls, Idaho, since 1904. Originally, known us as Price Hardware, we proudly hold the title of the city's oldest continuously operating retail store. In 2002, Rudy's son Tom and his wife Megan reshaped the Rudy’s experience, creating Rudy’s – A Cook’s Paradise, making it the go-to place for those who are passionate about cooking, hosting, and the joy of shared meals. 


Our Core Values

Passion

We are deeply passionate about the art of cooking and the joy it brings to people’s lives. Our team’s dedication to quality and expertise guides everything we do, ensuring that each product and experience we offer reflects a true love for the culinary arts.

Community

At Rudy’s, we believe in creating a sense of community through shared culinary experiences. We’re more than a store, we’re a gathering place where people come together to connect through cooking.

Curiosity

Through interactive classes and unique product offerings, we encourage everyone to step beyond their comfort zones and discover new ways to create, learn, and enjoy.

What was I doing ordering stuff online when I have Rudy’s in town? They had Le Creuset on sale, too, fluffy kitchen towels, flavored olive oils, and so much more.

Loved all of the interesting, unique, and classic staples they have here for any level of cook or baker. So many cookie cutters! I love finding more unique ones and they deliver. Also found some lovely measuring spoons. It will hit your wallet if you buy more than a few things, but you’re buying quality here.

A New Chapter

In November 2024, we welcomed a new chapter as Andy and Kylie Hohwieler stepped in to carry forward the spirit of Rudy’s. They bring fresh energy and a commitment to keep the heart of this place, ensuring Rudy’s remains a community hub where passion for food intertwines with life's everyday moments.

Today, we're more than just a kitchenware store. We’re here to grow the connections between food and people. Here at Rudy’s, we celebrate the art of cooking together, inspiring exploration and creativity, and elevating the culinary journey.

A Message from the Owners

Cooking is fundamental, it is primal. The breaking of bread transcends generations, cultures, geography, and language. Today, we benefit from being more connected to the culinary world than ever before. It is our desire at Rudy’s to deliver the tools and confidence to explore the ever-expanding world of cooking.  

Rudy’s exists to bring joy and new wonders to everyone’s kitchen. Through curated product offerings for your kitchen, cooking classes that broaden culinary horizons, and a passionate team dedicated to serving your needs, we hope that your experience at Rudy’s is one of a kind.

We believe in treating you like a welcomed guest to our home every time you shop. We only offer high-quality cookware, the kind we use in our own homes. We believe that good cooking starts with excellent ingredients and knowledge of how to use them. It is part of our mission to promote those farmers, ranchers, vintners, brewers, and bakers who dedicate their talents to growing, raising, making, and baking the best product that expresses the very essence of their purpose.

Our only ask of you is to seek the joys and wonders of home cooking. Be willing to adventure into new cultures and new regions of the culinary and wine world. And along the way, you might find the greatest, yet most simple, joy is sharing a meal with loved ones.

Andy + Kylie Hohwieler
