Park Lighting & Furniture is a family-owned, Edmon- ton-based company, with a long history of being the city’s num- ber one choice for their lighting needs. Since forming in 1979, they have grown tremendously in some ways – they have gone from a “small, do-it-yourself electrical shop” to Edmonton’s largest lighting store – while in other ways, they have stayed the same. The company was founded on the principles of quality, service, value and de- sign, and they remain just as committed to those principles today. “We’ve grown a lot over the years, but we still have the val- ues of a small family company,” says Jared Johannesen, owner and sales manager. “We’re re- liable. We treat people with in- tegrity and respect. We do what we say we’re going to do. We’ve built a reputation for that, and we take that reputation serious- ly.” “And we’re still owner-oper- ated,” he adds. “We’re on the floor; we’re working directly with clients. We provide the same personal service as a mom-and-pop store. That’s not very common for a company of our size.” Jared is in the third generation of Johannesens working for Park Lighting & Furniture, and is following in the footsteps of his parents, uncle, aunt, and grand- father. He joined the company JULY 2020 “Today, Park works with clients across the spec- trum of homebuilding and design, everyone from general customers, to homebuilders, con- tractors, designers, and electricians.”
