Hermitage Lighting
Gallery offers far more than the name implies. This
expansive retail showplace provides decorative solutions for
every room in the house. A vast array of light fixtures, kitchen
cabinetry, appliances, antique furniture, mirrors, and luxurious
bath products fill the Gallery, which is located minutes
from downtown.

The Tenzel/Fleischer family
has been lighting the way for three generations. Hermitage Lighting
Gallery was founded in 1944 by the late Jack Tenzel. In 1954,
Tenzel's son-in-law, Gerald Fleischer, joined the company and
subsequently became President. Today, Tenzel's daughter, Doris
Fleischer, serves as Secretary/Treasurer, and Gerald acts as
Chairman of the Board. Their son, Jack Fleischer, succeeded Gerald
as President in 1996.
"Our long history in this business sends a positive message
to our customers. We are stable, reliable, and we try to do the
right thing," says Jack Fleischer. "We have a very strong
referral business with many loyal customers." |
