Our History
Strathfield is indeed one of the iconic brands of the Australian retail landscape.
Born in 1980, with a passion for the products it sold an enthusiasm for innovation and a dedication to the service of it’s customers, it has grown and flourished.
An attitude that has propelled the business from a single store, car audio sales and customised installation specialist, that later connected the first mobile phone to the network, to a vast national retail chain.
Strathfield now also offers a diverse range of home electronics and portable digital equipment that has taken the entertainment and communications space by storm.
Today, Strathfield is a 30 year old value based retailer, with a multi store national network that has established itself as one of the most recognisable and iconic retail brands in Australia.
Now is a great time to capture a Strathfield Franchise and ride the wave of opportunity that the brand has to offer.
