Retravision History

In 1959, a group of forward-thinking service agents formed the Retra TV Service Association of Victoria. Two years later, after venturing into the retailing side of the business, they felt that it was time that they formalised their buying group. A meeting of all interested partners was called, and from this meeting, Retravision was born.

The business model created in Victoria was so successful that it was soon replicated in other states across Australia.

The original concept of the group was to give the independent retailers the opportunity and means of buying and marketing together effectively and competitively.

More than fifty years on, this is still the primary aim and purpose of the Retravision Group.

Retravision Today

From those humble beginnings in 1961, Retravision has grown to over 300 stores across Australia. Many stores are based in towns across the country and support the local communities in diverse areas such as Thursday Island, Bourke and Derby.

Every Retravision store is privately owned. It is the entrepreneurial spirit of the owner-operator, backed up by professional management at state and national level, which is the key to the success of Retravision.

At Retravision, we pride ourselves on the knowledge and service offered by the dedicated, trained staff in every one of our stores. With the increasing complexity and range of electrical products available, it is natural that the consumer seeks advice - and Retravision is there to provide it.

And along with that professional advice and technical expertise on a huge range of products, Retravision can guarantee you will always get the best price possible. If you see the same item advertised cheaper somewhere else – we’ll beat it.

Retravision is WA’s biggest electrical retailer. We have more stores across WA, the bulk-buying power of over 300 stores Australia-wide, we are proudly locally owned and operated, and can offer expert advice, top brands and the lowest prices.

That’s why we say – see us & save!
