Bunnings Group, trading as Bunnings Warehouse, is an Australian household hardware chain. The chain has been owned by Wesfarmers since 1994, and has stores in Australia and New Zealand. Bunnings was founded in Perth, Western Australia in 1886, by two brothers who had immigrated from England.
Bunnings sources between 35 and 40 per cent of its products from Australia, but Wesfarmers' wider retail businesses source between 20 and 70 per cent of products from China, depending on the category, Mr Scott said. Mr Scott said sourcing products from outside Australia benefitted Australian consumers.
As a proudly Australian owned company, our preference is to support locally based and made products wherever possible. With a large network of stores, the widest range and a commitment to offering our customers breathtaking value we also source products from around the world.
An increasing move to online is being mirrored in the United States where Bunnings' equivalent, Home Depot, reports online sales were 7.9 per cent of total sales in 2018.
