JC Licht was founded in Chicago in 1907 and since that time has been growing its presence as a key locally owned resource for paint and sundries solutions. Company president and CEO Elliot Greenberg bought the business in 2015 from Benjamin Moore, and he immediately set to work with an ambitious goal of expanding the company’s footprint and brand throughout the region with a focus on the core values that guide every employee to success. Today, JC Licht has nearly 60 storefronts, with additional expansion on the horizon. The business has also forayed into hardware, and now includes 10 hardware stores within the JC Licht family.
Elliot Greenberg, president and CEO of JC Licht, is a 2022 Top Guns Award winner from the North American Hardware and Paint Association. Learn more about Elliot and the other 2022 Top Guns honorees at YourNHPA.org/Top-Guns.
