B & R Electric Company Inc., 401 S Church St, Rockport, TX 78382, US

Originally founded in 1954, Hall Electric Company rose to industry leadership under the guidance of Jodie and Jeanette Turek who purchased the firm in 1967. The couple built Hall Electric into the pre-eminent commercial and residential lighting company in south Texas on a foundation of quality products and services. Today, the Tureks continue in their active roles as company and community leaders but are joined by the next generation of Tureks, son Stephen and daughter Stacey Turek Rather who are moving the company into its second generation of progress. Hall Electric evolved into Hall Lighting and Design Center, professional interior designers, interior consultants, and administrative staff joined the company's expanding residential team under the direction of Stacey Turek Rather. Stephen Turek is credited with moving the company's commercial business to new heights and for preparing the firm for the 21st century.
