Bunnings celebrates 30th anniversary of warehouse store format

Thirty years ago, Bunnings opened its first warehouse-format store in Sunshine, Victoria.

With its wider aisles, product laid out in bulk pallets, handwritten tickets and massive range it was a real departure from traditional stores at the time.

From the outset, the company were committed to pillars of lowest prices, widest range and best experience to earn the trust of customers as they maintain and improve their homes, get the job done on building sites, and keep their businesses moving.

In a statement released on social media, the company said, “Over thirty years we’re proud that our team and our warehouse format has helped make DIY something more people can participate in. And that a trip to the hardware store has become a weekend ritual the whole family can enjoy, including a stop at the sausage sizzle to support a local charity. Thank you to our team (past and present), to our suppliers and to our customers for the role you’ve played in making Bunnings Warehouse the place it is today.”
