JB Hi-Fi

JB Hi-Fi was founded in 1974 by John Barbuto (JB) in East Keilor, Victoria, starting as a single store. His vision was straightforward: to provide a specialized selection of Hi-Fi equipment and recorded music at the lowest prices in Australia. In 1983, the business changed hands, and by 1999, JB Hi-Fi had expanded to include nine additional stores. In July 2000, a group of private equity bankers and senior management acquired JB Hi-Fi, aiming to expand the successful business model across the country. The company made its debut on the Australian Stock Exchange in October 2003. Today, remaining true to Barbuto's original vision, JB Hi-Fi stands as one of the largest and fastest-growing home entertainment retailers in Australasia. In July 2004, JB Hi-Fi expanded further by acquiring the Clive Anthony chain of stores in Queensland, which offered consumer electronics, white goods, cooking appliances, and air-conditioning. These locations have since been transformed into JB Hi-Fi HOME stores, featuring everything customers love about JB, plus even more options. JB Hi-Fi provides a wide range of top brands in Computers, Tablets, TVs, Cameras, Hi-Fi systems, Speakers, Home Theatre, Portable Audio, as well as the largest selection of games, recorded music, and Blu-Ray and DVD movies and TV shows, all at affordable prices. Whether in-store or online, JB Hi-Fi has everything you need—top brands, a vast selection, the best prices, convenient locations, and most importantly, genuine personal service from knowledgeable staff.
