JB Hi-Fi will open a store at Nelson Junction, the consumer electronics retailer’s 20th store in New Zealand.
The 1000sqm store will open on August 23 and will employ around 40 full-time and part-time staff.
Tim Edwards, JB Hi-Fi New Zealand MD, said the company had noted demand for a Nelson store for a long time.
“Whenever we announce a new store, we are asked when JB Hi-Fi will open in Nelson. So, we’re particularly excited to announce this store and say that we’ve heard you, Nelson.”
JB Hi-Fi has opened six new stores in just over a year to expand its footprint and improve services for Kiwis. That aggressive expansion helped the trans-Tasman, Australian-listed company deliver strong results locally for the June year.
“The new Nelson store gives us a presence at the top of the South Island and will offer locals the extensive choice, great value and amazing in-store experience JB Hi-Fi is known for.”
Earlier, JB Hi-Fi opened stores in Invercargill, Christchurch, Hamilton/Te Rapa, and at Auckland and Christchurch airports.
It is also revamping existing stores nationwide with a new fit-out.
