The Super Store Limited (2012)
The Super Store Limited is a holding company that consists of two main divisions, namely, The Store and Home House. The company is the largest discount toiletry, giftware, health, home and beauty products retailer in the Southern Hemisphere. By April 2012, it operated 164 stores throughout Australasia, employed over 3,000 staff and recorded a turnover in excess of threequarters-of-a-billion dollars. The Super Store Limited was first listed on the Sydney Stock Exchange in June 1989. It is 50.01% owned by Super-Store Holdings Limited. Since listing the average compound growth rate for both turnover and pretax profits has exceeded 22% per annum. In spite of the recession, The Super Store Limited experienced four years of consistent growth in revenues, operating profit and number of outlets in operation. This performance has been attributed to the two pronged growth strategy introduced by management in 2002/03. The strategy consists of two parts. Firstly, further developing and focusing the existing outlets. The Store outlets have been dramatically redesigned to provide a friendly and relaxed up-market shopping environment with a 12,000 item range of products while the Home House stores have been designed to offer a more restricted product range of 4,000 items to a lower income market segment. Currently, The Store and Home House have a weekly purchase base of approximately one million and 300,000 customers respectively. Aggressive expansion to take advantage of lower cost retail space available due to the recession is the second component of the strategy. The Store outlets on target to reach the objective of having 100 outlets and 120 Home House outlets operating throughout the state of Victoria by the mid-to-late 2010s. The early stages of this program have seen the number of stores increase from 80 to 130 for The Super Store and from 16 to 73 for Home House.
