IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING SKIES,
Richardson lighting is a name almost as
well-known as saskatchewan’s provincial
motto. in 2017, the store that’s become
famous for service, savings and selection
will be celebrating 50 years of keeping
saskatchewan’s lights on! and to help
celebrate, the company is hosting a
warehouse sale, multiple customer
appreciation events and participating in
Regina’s annual spring home show.
so please come down to our store and
help us celebrate—browsing isn’t only
allowed, it’s encouraged!

WHAT WE DORichardson lighting is a wholesale, retail lighting and electrical
supply company with an unparalleled product line and a location
in both Regina and saskatoon. Richardson customers are
homeowners, home builders, interior designers, and electrical and
commercial contractors. the store also provides commercial sales
to areas such as Moose Jaw, estevan, weyburn and swift current—
catering to commercial and electrical contractors in those areas—
specifically in retail development, hotels and restaurants.
Richardson’s is synonymous with unique and innovative lighting
and offers the largest selection in the province at very competitive
pricing. the store also houses an enormous inventory of light
bulbs—with leds, cFls, hids, halogen and incandescent in every
shape and size imaginable!
at Richardson’s, no order is too large or too small. the company
boasts the same enthusiastic service for a small parts order as it
does for a house full of lights. and the store’s knowledgeable staff is
what truly sets it apart from the big box stores.
with a full time delivery service, Richardson’s ensures that they are
looking after the needs of local contractors, home builders and local
businesses. the delivery service gives them the ability to quickly
respond to any problems customers might have—such as broken
glass, missing parts or a fixture that simply may have been missed. SOME SERVICE SPECIALTIESat Richardson’s, the repair shop is kept busy
altering, adjusting, rewiring and repairing fixtures for
customers. store experts can turn that vase into a
table lamp, or rewire and repair antique light fixtures
and lamps of every kind. our most popular fixes are
antique torchieres.

EARLY BEGINNINGSBy 1967, ernie Richardson had gained celebrity status
as the skip who took the curling Richardsons to four
world championships. at the urging of friends he took
that same determination that had worked so well on the
ice to starting his own building supply company, selling
items such as Pella windows and sliding doors. But ernie
quickly realized there was a big demand for specialty
lighting products in the commercial and residential
sectors. and as Richardson’s reputation for honesty and
market knowledge grew, so did the need for more space.
in 1973, the entire store was moved from its original
location at 1431 scarth street to 2460-7th avenue. and
after nine years, once again the entire lock, stock and
lighting barrel was moved to the store’s present location
at 2101-7th avenue. in his own words, ernie will tell
you that he’s had good fortune in many areas in life but
is especially grateful for his common sense approach
to business. Reinvesting in the business by purchasing
properties in which the stores are housed gave the
company far-reaching assets beyond its inventory alone.
individual customers and large contractors depend
on receiving personalized service and expert advice,
knowing that a fair return and repair policy backs
every purchase at Richardson’s. and although ernie is
extremely proud of his store’s phenomenal growth over
the years, he’s especially proud of the old-fashioned
philosophies of honest pricing and unbeatable service
that continue to prevail at Richardson lighting.
the store has not only survived but prospered during
the influx of big box stores and large retail spaces.Pendants by Artcraft - Linear Chandelier by Cal, Authentic Developments, Red Mix Creative

PEOPLE POWERat Richardson’s, the company is just as interested in its
employees as its paying customers. Most staff are long-
term employees—which allows the more experienced
employees to pass on their well-honed knowledge and
wisdom—as well as form long-lasting relationships with
clients.
Just as every team has its star players, ernie credits past
and present partners and staff of Richardson lighting in
Regina and saskatoon, with significantly contributing to
the company’s success.

THE SECRETS TO OUR SUCCESSthere are plenty of reasons for Richardson
lighting’s success but most will agree that
a commitment to providing customers with
eXcePtional service—whether they’re
homeowners, interior designers, contractors

the reasons for its longevity. the company’s
team of lighting experts always take the time
to ensure you are getting the best advice
that suits yoU and yoUR layout so we can
design the home lighting of yoUR dreams!
Richardson lighting’s unparalleled
selection also provides a range of choices
in residential lighting from today’s top
manufacturers—including chandeliers,
decorative lighting, bathroom, wall, hallway
and bedroom fixtures, track lighting,
recessed lighting, fans and landscape
lighting. in addition, Richardson’s provides
commercial lighting expertise for virtually
any kind of project—including hotels,
schools, restaurants, strip malls and
professional buildings.

Richardson’s opens its doors at its first location at
1431 scarth street in Regina. the scarth location featured a
2000-square foot building and a 400 square foot showroom.
First employees were ernie Richardson, vern vallevand
(later to become a partner) and Robbie Brown.
1967
TIMELINEA timeline of significant events at Richardson Lighting at its two locations
a 300-square foot
shed was built on
the rear compound
at scarth for extra
warehouse space.
the company moves to 2460-7th avenue.
ernie partners with the owner of the Regina
Rent-it-centre, Morley gusway. Richardson’s
takes one half of the 15,000-square foot building,
which included a 1000-square foot showroom.
don Richardson, ernie’s son, joins the business, bringing
with him his experience as a Journeyman electrician.
soon after, ward lorenz joins the company, first working in
the warehouse and later playing a key role in the success of
the saskatoon store.
ernie buys a former skating rink on
the corner of 7th avenue and scarth
street, knowing that the business
would eventually need a larger
showroom and more warehouse space.
this decision eventually leads to the
construction of the Regina store’s
current location at 2101-7th avenue.
after a second expansion, the
Regina store now occupies the
entire building at
2101-7th avenue with 18,000
square feet of usable space on
multiple floors—including a
4000 square-foot showroom.
guy Mercier retires
from the saskatoon
store after 29 years.
John heaps is hired and
later becomes office
manager and partner.
he also plays a key role
in the success of the
Regina location.
Richardson house of
Fixtures opens its first
location in saskatoon,
managed by gord
Behrns (partner) and
two employees. gord’s
hard work and industry
reputation pays off for
the saskatoon store’s
success.
Judy and Jim Richardson,
ernie’s daughter and son, join
the Regina team. a move to a
new location in saskatoon at
402-47th st. e boasts a 7000
square-foot space—which
includes a 2000 square-foot
showroom and six full time
employees. with this new
building, the business shifts
its focus to the decorative
side of the market. ward
lorenz becomes a partner and
transfers to the saskatoon
store to manage the retail side
of the business.
a second location is added in
saskatoon with the purchase of
highlite lighting at 3521-8th street.
guy Mercier is hired to manage the
new location along with three full
time employees and one part-time
employee. guy later becomes a
partner.
vern vallevand retires
from the Regina store
after 25 years.
the two saskatoon stores are consolidated, leading to a major
renovation and expansion of the current 47th street location.
the expansion includes 14,000 square-feet with a 6000 square- foot
showroom—the largest in saskatchewan and what many people
consider one of the nicest showrooms in western canada.
ward lorenz later becomes general manager and the
company’s name is changed to Richardson lighting to better
reflect its product offerings.

The team at Richardson
Lighting Regina are absolutely
AMAZING!!! Twice they
literally worked miracles by
making the parts I needed for
my light fixtures. Ed from the parts department
and all the customer service staff were very
helpful and were genuinely going out of their way
to get me what I wanted. I highly recommend this
place. Value for money and great people to boot...
– Marjorie Baggo-Murray
Richardson Lighting went way above and beyond
to help me out recently. I had purchased a floor
lamp with an attached reading light on an arm. The
lamp suffered a fall. Nothing broke, but soon after
the reading light did not work. Richardson’s looked
at it and determined that the dimmer switch was a sealed unit and
irreparable. I now had a floor lamp / piece of art. Richardson’s contacted
the manufacturer, it was about 1.5 years old, and had it replaced.
I cannot thank Richardson’s enough - the time and energy given was
exceptional. I will certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you again.
– Linda Palmer Hagen
