For the third straight year, First Choice Electric Supply’s Lighting Showroom in Newark has been named a finalist for the National Showroom of the Year award.
The showroom is one of only 15 finalists nationwide and the sole representative from New York.
“Making continuous developments to our showroom has been very important to us as we always want to make the showroom experience better for our customers,” said Showroom Manager Kaitlyn Ruffalo. “It has truly been a labor of love and it is an honor to have been named a finalist each year our showroom has been open so far. Hopefully third time’s the charm!”
While First Choice has not yet won the national honor, its consistent recognition highlights its excellence in merchandising, customer service, engagement, and community involvement—key criteria for the award.
The Newark-based showroom has become a standout in the industry for its future-focused approach and innovative design.
