With almost 700 fixtures ordered, YOGO Factory has become one our largest client, in terms of volume, anyway. When Founder and President Brain Petruzzi called me to order some fixtures last fall, even I didn’t know how big this was going to be. YOGO factory is a franchise of premium frozen yogurt franchise shops that are blossoming like wildflowers. Yogo factory currently has 15 locations with 13 more coming soon. Each Yogo factory features contemporary Access Lighting pendant fixtures, in a multiple of glass color options. The only bummer is that YOGO is opening more shops so fast that even Access is having trouble keeping up with the demand for glass.

If only the rest of the US economy could have these kind of problems.

Most of the shops are located on the East coast in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Here is the web link for a list of locations open with more coming soon:

Now, I am getting a craving for Tahitian Vanilla. I can’t wait until they open one in Los Angeles.

I have been to Kentucky twice in my life, back in December 1989  and later May 1990. I went their to meet up with my friend James, whom I  met while travelling throughout Europe back in the summer of 1979. James was a wonderful tour guide, and also a ruthless chess player. He showed me the old Louisville and the newer parts of town as well as Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, plus Fort Knox and the astonishing Mammoth Caverns

I think I will have to go back, to visit Stephen Baldwin’s Kansai Japanese Steak House. Stephen ordered from us in February of this year, and he has installed thirteen of the Cherry Tree Aurora Asian Tall Wall Sconces in his restaurant. I’ll let the photos do the talking here. Needless to say, they blend. Now pass me the sake.

WHY I LIKE KICHLER LIGHTING

by Alan Williams

Kichler Lighting

Kichler Lighting has become my favorite light manufacturing company of late, thanks to their excellent customer service. Kichler is the only company that issues RGAs (Return Goods Authorizations) on the spot, checks stock immediately, and offers three different shipping locations for their excellent lamps, so the customer can get their product quicker. Plus, all of the customer service people over there are very nice, cordial and professional. And they have a great lighting inventory with few back orders.

Hooray for Light Bulbs

And now, they have informed me that they carry the FSKJDK – 40 220 volt bulbs, making it easy for those lamp experts located overseas to install Kichler Lighting wall sconces, chandeliers or vanity fixtures in countries that do not have AC 120 volt. These bulbs come in 10 packs for $79.99 a pack, and they will make your lighting fixture installation a breeze.

So, if you need to move to Europe and want to take your chic, contemporary lamps with you, fear not. These bulbs will make it happen for you.
