Bear Lodge Electric

Bear Lodge Electric

Bear Lodge Electric, a dynamic electrical contracting company, has been lighting up the Gillette community since its inception in 2022. Founded by the enterprising duo of Timothy and Candice Young, the company has quickly established itself as a reliable business that prioritizes customer service.

Founding Story

The Youngs’ journey into entrepreneurship was inspired by a blend of passion and practicality. Timothy, with a family legacy in business, yearned for the autonomy and creative freedom that comes with owning his own company. Candice, a detail-oriented and strategic thinker, was eager to contribute her skills and experience.

‘We were excited about the opportunity to work together,’ Candice shared. ‘We’ve always enjoyed building together, whether it was a family or a home.‘

Challenges and Growth

Like any new venture, Bear Lodge Electric faced its share of challenges. Cash flow management and balancing work-life commitments were among the hurdles they navigated. However, the Youngs’ strategic approach and determination contributed to the continuation of their business and motivated them to grow.

‘Another constant challenge for me is that I added the title of small business owner to an already busy life,’ Candice said.

Partnership Dynamics

The couple’s diverse skill sets have been instrumental in the company’s success. Timothy’s technical expertise and problem-solving abilities, coupled with Candice’s organizational talents and strategic mindset has proven to be a successful pairing.
