Another Prince George long term retail success story. Prince George is fortunate to still have a core of multi-generational businesses that meet the needs of the local market.

There’s a reason this business is successful. They even have trained staff that will come to your home and help you pick the right lighting and sometimes that’s just switching to the right kind of bulb.

Same with Gurney’s House of Vision, WD West and the Northern. Helpful, professional and good quality. Beat that Wal-Mart.
