The Good Guys is a retail icon in Australia. Synonymous with a broad range of the biggest brands in electrical appliances, at exceptionally low prices, our trademark enjoys instant recognition amongst Australian consumers. The Good Guys history in electrical appliance retailing in Australia goes back to 1952. In 1992, The Good Guys banner appeared for the first time on 14 stores in Victoria. Just 6 years later the group implemented its iconic Good Vibrations Pay Less advertising campaign and continued the growth that today sees the prominent trademark on 100+ stores nationally. In November 2016, JB Hi-Fi acquired The Good Guys, identifying the brand to be a strong strategic fit. Now united as the JB Hi-Fi Limited, this partnership has created a new force in Australian retailing. The cheerful, friendly nature of The Good Guys brand personality resonates not only in our store designs, layouts, product offering and advertising but in everything we do in our day-to-day dealings with customers.

We are the leading retailer of home improvement and outdoor living products in Australia & New Zealand and a major supplier to project builders, commercial tradespeople and the housing industry. Our ambition is to provide our customers with the widest range of home improvement products in accordance with our lowest prices policy, backed with the best service.

The business was established in 1974 by Mr. John Barbuto (JB), trading from a single store in East Keilor, Victoria. He had one simple philosophy: to deliver a specialist range of Hi-Fi and recorded music at Australia's lowest prices. The business was sold in 1983 and by 1999 another nine stores were opened. In July 2000 JB Hi-Fi was purchased by private equity bankers and senior management with the aim of taking the successful model nationally. In October 2003, JB Hi-Fi was floated on the Australian Stock Exchange. Now, maintaining Barbuto's original philosophy, JB is one of Australasia's fastest growing and largest retailer of home entertainment. In July 2004, JB bought the Queensland Clive Anthony chain of stores which sell consumer electronics, white goods, cooking appliances and air-conditioning. JB stores offer the world's leading brands of Hi-Fi, Speakers, Televisions, DVD's, VCR's, Cameras, Car Sound, Home Theatre, Computers and Portable Audio and continues to stock an exclusive range of specialist Hi-Fi products. JB Hi-Fi also offers the largest range of video games, recorded music, DVD music and DVD movies with over 50,000 CDs and most major studio DVD releases, all at cheap prices!
