 after SHARONS closed their doors for good, LIGHT
BULBS UNLIMITED expanded their menu to include anything that their
customers needed. For a short period in the early nineties you could
find radio caps, antique juke boxes and a selection of imported Italian
shoes on the floor.As business improved, many lines of lighting fixtures were added and this necessitated the need to move to larger premises. In 1996 the store was relocated less than two miles north, in a much larger space, nestled between "BAGELS WITH" and "JOSEPHINE'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT". Thanks to the loyal support of our customers and friends the business continued to grow until one fateful day on November 18th, 2001. On that day, the Miami Dolphins lost 24-0 to the New York Jets. Gloom turned to real doom when minutes later the entire shopping center in which our store was located burned down to the ground. (SunSentinel article) Shock and dismay was soon overcome by the outpouring of support and help from our customers and vendors alike. Less than three months later, LIGHT BULBS UNLIMITED reopened in our current location at 2273 North Federal Highway, right next door to our original store.  And that is the beginning of our new story. Today, LIGHT BULBS UNLIMITED in Boca Raton is proud to be part of the LBU Lighting Group of companies, one of nine stores in South and Central Florida. True to our humble beginnings, you can still find the most obscure light bulb alongside the very newest in LED and energy efficient bulbs. Our extensive display of CONTEMPORARY lighting is representative of the world's leading manufacturers, including house-hold names like TECH LIGHTING and FLOSUSA.

Through all the change you will be pleased to find that Lenny Snipelisky is still at the helm, ready and able, together with Martin Hack and the rest of the dedicated team, to assist you with all your lighting needs. |
