Description
Encompassing iconic Australian retailers Spotlight, Anaconda, Harris Scarfe, and Mountain Designs, Spotlight Retail Group (SRG) is one of A/NZ’s largest and fastest-growing retail operations.
Founded in 1973, brothers Morry Fraid and Ruben Fried bought with them a business philosophy formed from years of supporting their parent’s business at the Queen Victoria Market, an approach which has been incorporated into every aspect of the business. From humble beginnings the group has bought a market-challenging owner’s mindset to the retail scene, becoming a major player in the Australasian marketplace.
About SRG’s Brands Spotlight is Australasia’s largest craft, fabric and home interiors superstore inspiring customers to create, decorate and celebrate in their homes.
Anaconda is Australia’s fastest-growing outdoor adventure superstore with a mission to equip, inspire and enable Aussies to make memories outdoors every day.
Harris Scarfe is one of Australia’s longest-standing retailers, trusted by generations since 1849. With a wide range of quality homewares, kitchen, bed, bath, and clothing, Harris Scarfe helps Australians feel proud of themselves and their homes - every day.
Spotlight Group also owns and operates over 150 premises, across four countries, occupying over 4.2 million square feet of retail space and employing over 8,500 staff.
SRG operates a shared services model with the Melbourne-headquartered group supporting the retail brands in finance, IT, supply chain, marketing, human resources and payroll. One of the critical elements that binds SRG's brands together is a shared set of values: People, Success & Excellence.
These values are underpinned by best-in-class team and product training programs, ‘Talk Back to the Boss’ open communication policies, and a long history of putting community values and engagement first, supported by the Spotlight Foundation.
