The Beacon Lighting Group is to buy back two franchised outlets in its network.

The two Victorian stores, Watergardens Homemaker Centre and Essendon Homemaker Hub, have been run by one franchisee for more than 14 years and nine years respectively.

Beacon will operate these two stores as company owned businesses from 28 September 2015.

In a statement, the group said it is pleased to bring the franchised stores back into its core retail operation.
