Gross Lighting and Home – then known as Gross Electric before the company’s showroom division was spun off – acquired Indiana Lighting’s two showrooms last year. This month’s ceremonial ribbon-cutting event at the Castleton location reflects the successful transition of the venerable Indiana Lighting Centers into the Gross Lighting and Home fold.
According to a press release issued by Gross Lighting and Home, “the Castleton showroom represents a new chapter built on a trusted local foundation. The transition reflects the company’s commitment to preserving the relationships, expertise and community connection customers have valued for years while introducing an updated and elevated showroom experience.”
Noted Laurie Gross, owner of Gross Lighting and Home, “As we grow, it’s important to us that we remain locally connected and community-driven. This expansion represents a long-term investment in the Indianapolis market and the people and relationships that make this community special. We believe there is tremendous value in independent, family-owned lighting showrooms where customers can experience products firsthand and receive personalized guidance from knowledgeable experts.”
Customers visiting the reimagined Castleton showroom will find expanded lighting and home offerings, immersive product experiences and thoughtfully curated collections designed to help homeowners, builders and designers create spaces that are beautiful and functional.

It is the goal of Gross Lighting and Home to combine personalized service and trusted industry expertise with an inspiring showroom environment that encourages customers to explore lighting and home design in a more interactive and approachable way.
The expansion also continues a strong tradition of female-owned leadership and customer-focused service shared by both organizations.
“Growth for us has always been rooted in relationships, service and community impact,” Gross said. “We are proud to continue investing in spaces and experiences that support our customers while honoring the local legacy that already existed here.”
