A Rich History Rooted in Community

Established in 1942 by Edward, John, and Mary Fleming, Fleming's Lighting started as a general store in the historic 1762 building situated in the heart of Cohasset Village. Over the years, the Flemings built a foundation of trust and excellence, becoming a beloved part of the local community.

The Smith Family Evolution

In the 1980s, the Smith Family took the reins of the business, transitioning from its general and marine supply store origins to specialize exclusively in lighting and home decor. This pivotal change marked a new era for Fleming's, serving new needs of the South Shore community and illuminating the many homes of the South Shore.

Expanding Offerings with a Personal Touch

Under the Smiths, Fleming's expanded to include a wide array of lighting products—from sophisticated chandeliers and sconces to custom-made lamps and unique decorative pieces. Maintaining the Fleming’s tradition, the Smiths emphasized personalized service, helping customers find perfect lighting solutions tailored to their homes and lifestyles.

Innovative Solutions and Custom Creations

The Smith family’s leadership has been characterized by a commitment to innovation and custom solutions. Whether crafting lamps from treasured heirlooms or providing expert advice on lighting placement, Fleming's under the Smiths has become known for its creativity and customer satisfaction.

Superior Service That Is Hard to Replicate When Online Shopping
Fleming's Lighting prides itself on offering superior service that far surpasses what typical online experiences can offer. Understanding the complexities of choosing the right lighting, they provide a "try it at home" service, allowing customers to assess how fixtures fit and look in their actual living spaces—a level of personalization online retailers can't match. For builders, Fleming’s simplifies projects with tailored lighting packages that adhere to budget constraints while ensuring a cohesive look across entire properties. Additionally, their in-store design consultations offer customized advice that online platforms simply cannot replicate. This hands-on approach ensures every customer receives thoughtful, expert guidance tailored to their unique needs, making Fleming’s not only easier but more effective to work with than online alternatives.
