METRO LIGHTING - 2007 BEAUTIFICATION AWARD

Bill Frisella

Metro Lighting received the Chamber of Commerce Beautification Award.  The Brentwood Lighting store, which they call their Brentwood Promenade location, won the National Art's award last year at the Dallas market as "Best Showroom" in the country.  They are up for the same award this year.  The winner will be notified in late January at the annual National Arts Award extravaganza.  Winning this award is the industry's equivalent to winning an Oscar.  The store also is the lighting division's central warehouse and corporate offices.  The Brentwood Promenade store opened in early 2006 and is far exceeding Metro's highest expectations.  They cater to homeowners, builders, developers and rehabbers.  In addition to the lighting showroom, there is a rear entrance and electrical counter that sells electrical products to electrical contractors, electricians, institutions, cities, school districts and even do-it-yourselfers.
