Business Buzz
I was driving in Egg Harbor Township recently and noticed that a new business had opened at 6636 Black Horse Pike, where L&Z Kitchen and Bath Design was previously located.
The site had been on the market for nearly two years. L&Z was a very successful business, however, due to COVID-19, and various other personal reasons, the family-owned business closed back in 2023.
Fast forward to February 2025 and Wes Lam, who is part of the family that owned the property, decided to take the reins himself and lease out the building. He wanted to establish his own kitchen, bath and flooring company. It’s called Smart Choice, Kitchen, Bath and Flooring.
Wes worked at L&Z for 20 years, applying his adroit abilities to meticulously transforming homes into modern showplaces. Today his phenomenal interior renovation skills are evident in the new, custom-designed showroom.
I had the opportunity to tour the building and can attest to the pride and craftsmanship that went into the creation of the new showroom. The displays highlight and showcase the talent that Wes brings to the interior renovation business. Visitors to the showroom see firsthand the level of skill that can be applied to their home’s design and installation.
Wes has teamed up with manager Tiffany Tsi, and his daughter, Cianna Lam, who is responsible for the marketing of this new and exciting business.
When I met Wes and Tiffany in the showroom, I immediately felt their pride in the craftsmanship, which was manifested in the precision and care in every detail of the displays.
I learned that this business is no standard Home Depot or Lowe’s showroom where people are sometimes treated like a number. I realized that their valued clientele would be treated as if each project were their own home. It is a true family, custom, one-stop home-design center where you are talking with knowledgeable people who actually do the work.
Each project is handled with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the client’s space is not only beautiful, but also functional. The knowledgeable team is available to patiently guide you through the process of making your home dream come true.
Wes, Tiffany and Cianna started work on the new showroom in February of 2025. They hosted a grand opening on Aug. 29.
They are proud to continue the legacy of the former L&Z, providing top-quality kitchen, bath and flooring solutions while introducing a new era of innovation, style and personalized service.
