Retail lighting

Six weeks when your storefront does the most work of the year

Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, a retail storefront has one job: get people out of the car and through the door. Holiday lighting is the most visible, lowest-effort way to do it. A warm white roofline, a lit entry canopy, framed windows and wrapped planters tell every shopper in the lot that this is the store that made an effort.

We design the display to your building, install it in October or early November on a schedule that keeps your doors open, turn it on by timer when you say, maintain it all season and remove it in January. Multi-location retailers and shopping-center managers get one agreement and one point of contact for every property.

Where we light retail

Downtown Champaign, Campustown and downtown Urbana. North Prospect and Marketview in Champaign. Veterans Parkway and Eastland in Bloomington-Normal, Uptown Normal. Hickory Point and Forsyth in Decatur. North Vermilion in Danville. Cross County Mall and Route 16 in Mattoon. Tanger Outlets in Tuscola.

What Central Illinois homeowners say

  • Our lights were amazing. Lights were done quickly and efficiently. When the season was over he was back to take them down just when he said he would. We have had him put our lights up for several years and will continue to! Highly recommended.

  • We just had our lights installed by Midwest Holiday Lighting on Thanksgiving day. We just called them and let them know we would like them to do our light install and they worked us in quickly. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and patient. We love the holiday lighting they installed on our house and will use them for years to come. They provided all the materials, completed the install quickly, and will store the lights for us during the off season. I added the wreath last minute and they had all the supplies to install it. We could not be happier with Tom and his crew and the job they did installing our lights. Thank You Midwest Holiday Lighting for making our holidays feel more merry and our home look brighter! Enjoy!
