Wiseway Supply, founded in 1972 by Biz and Jackie Cain, recently announced the acquisition of Kentucky Lighting & Supply. Wiseway has seven branches located in the greater Cincinnati market and is based in northern Kentucky. Kentucky Lighting & Supply has three branches and is based about 75 miles down Interstate 75 in Lexington, Kentucky.
These two markets, Wiseway noted, are contiguous with virtually no overlap of customers or sales personnel. The acquisition expands Wiseway’s service area, which no encompasses 10 branches from central Ohio to central Kentucky with many key customers beyond that geography.
