Looking At The Origin Of JBHiFi, Australia's Leading Online Retail Outlet

Almost anything is being marketed over the internet from relics to life insurance policies and even appliances and computers are also being marketed online. In Australia, they know where to search for those types of devices and it's JBHiFi.

JBHiFi or JB HiFi is the biggest online device seller store in all of Australia. When the Hi-Fi was still very popular, it started its operation in the year 1975 back. JB Hi-Fi was established by John Barbuto on that year. He sold off the store to Richard Bouris and David Rodd. Through that time, JB branched out all over Melbourne and Sydney with 10 outlets and it gained a whooping $150 million by the year 2000.

Rather, it grew into one of the first-ever Australian music retailer store that offered CD's exclusively. Because of the demand for CD's in 1991 increased, JB Hi-Fi set up new outlets in Melbourne and before anybody knew it, JB was certainly present in other cities in Australia as well as in New Zealand.

That didn't cease JB Hi-Fi from going on to other industries. When they saw the progression of technology in both audio and video layouts, the company began selling various consumer electronics items from LCD televisions, digital cameras, portable audio equipment, car stereo computer, video and equipment game consoles, freezers and refrigerators, gadgets and mobile devices, CB radios and even various musical instruments from guitars, drums, ukuleles, electronic keyboard including pianos and even CCTV cameras and CCTV systems.

Currently, JBHiFi has more than 170 stores all over Australia, In 2014 of August, 13 branches were opened in New Zealand. And as though these are all not adequate enough for JB, it widened even more by giving streaming music service which they call JB Hi-Fi NOW. This service allows people stream unlimited music and they bill A$ 99 a year. Australia now has its own and it's even expanding towards the West if the States has its own music streaming service.
