Start A Lighting Store

The lighting fixtures market will reach a CAGR of 5.4% over the next few years. The massive demand for modern lighting fixtures will fuel the market growth as consumers look to optimize power consumption and save more on utility bills.

Thus, starting an interior and exterior lighting fixtures store can be a profitable business venture. If you are passionate about supplying lighting fixtures, consider setting up a brick-and-mortar shop in your neighborhood.

If you already have an online store that is doing well, you can target the areas with a high demand for lighting fixtures and open a physical store there.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a lighting store:

1. Any Old Vintage ($420K/year)

Nick Griffiths, a former freelance journalist, came up with the idea for Any Old Lights when he moved to Cornwall and started building websites for a vintage lighting business. Despite knowing nothing about lighting initially, he learned on the job and eventually became an expert in vintage lighting. The business has since grown in popularity, selling worldwide and turning over £250,000 last year.
