How Win’s Got Started: Win Hutcheson worked as a shop worker for several years before deciding to pursue his interest in opening an electrical store. He founded Win’s Electrical Supply Co. in 1970 and Win’s Lighting Showroom in 1976. His goal was always straightforward and simple: provide fantastic service and unbeatable prices. This strategy seems to be a winner. Today, Win has five supply stores, a showroom and an online retail store. In business for nearly 50 years, Win’s has weathered economic downturns, the emergence of big box stores and an evolving industry to remain a stable and a trusted supplier in the Michigan region.
Becky Van Every has been with the company for 32 years. She started as a student co-op and continued to learn the business and the industry. Over the years, she’s held various management roles and, today, is Vice President of the company.
