Foster Electric was founded in 1956, in a residential garage by Mr. Aubrey E. Foster, Sr.
In 1958, due to increasing business and a need for a storefront, Foster Electric moved to our second location at 707 Fifth Street, Lynchburg, Virginia.
By the summer of 1965, having outgrown its second location, it was necessary to move to a larger facility at 1500 Campbell Avenue, Lynchburg, Virginia
In 1982 Foster Electric moved to its present location at 1420 Campbell Avenue. From its beginnings in a garage to today’s remodeled facility of 45,000 square feet, a staff of over 35 employees stands ready to help you with all of your electrical equipment needs.
