Lyle Yoder Induction to the Cabinet Hall of Fame /
It's been an exciting time around the Yoder Kitchen Corporation. In addition to finishing the Homes of Distinction show, our founder, Lyle Yoder was inducted into Coppes Commons' Cabinet Hall of Fame!
A special dinner was held to commemorate the occasion where family, friends, and the community could celebrate this exciting achievement for Lyle. The highlight of the evening came when Lyle was honored with a key to city of Nappanee by the Mayor!
The Yoder Kitchen Corporation started out of Lyle's garage and has grown into everything it is today because of his vision, hard work, and dedication. We are all so proud and excited to share in such a special event for Lyle and look forward to many more to come!
Homes of Distinction Recap /
The Homes of Distinction Tour is a wrap, and the Yoder Kitchen Corp. was so proud to be a part of it! The show was a complete success, and it was so great to meet so many wonderful people while also supporting the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital. We thank everyone who came out and spoke with us at the show, and welcome anyone to contact us with any questions or interest in Yoder Kitchen Corp. cabintery.
We also want to take the time to thank the homeowners who were so gracious to host such an event as well as everyone at SLM Homes who are responsible for building such a beautiful home! Its always such an honor to be able to work with good people, and it made this project such a fun and exciting undertaking.
Stay tuned in the coming weeks as several exciting events have happened here at the Yoder Kitchen Corp. In addition to the Homes of Distinction Tour, our founder Lyle Yoder, was just inducted into the Napppanee Cabintery Hall of Fame! We'll be sure to post photos from both events in the coming weeks so make sure you check back!

A Blast From the Past /
Recently, an old promotional video resurfaced from 1986. Created by a good friend of the company, Dave Miller, the video gave our customers a glimpse of the products and processes used in the creation of their cabinetry. It's crazy to see how much the company has grown and changed throughout the years while also serving as a reminder of where we've come from. If you have a couple minutes, be sure to take a stroll down memory lane to see a little bit of our company's history, older products, and tons of amazing 80's hair.
A Very Special Lunch /
Recently, our team was treated to a very special surprise--a homemade lunch from satisfied Yoder Kitchen Corp. clients! Richard and Carolyn Schmidt just recently completed their kitchen remodel and were eager to put it to good use. Carolyn prepared quite the spread for the entire team here: muffins, potato and bean salads, fried chicken, and cherry cobbler topped with ice cream!
We are constantly saying that we have the best clients, and this incredibly thoughtful and sincere lunch just further validates that statement. It's clients like the Schmidts that inspire a passion and sense of pride in what we do which is then directly reflected in our work.
The production process is often a very long and compartmentalized, making it very difficult to visualize the end result. This lunch was such a vivid realization of our goal: satisfied and smiling clients.
Thank you so much Richard and Carolyn.
