HARVEY NORMAN FURNITURE, FURNITURE LJUBLJANA, SLOVENIA; Harvey Norman is a large Australian-based retailer of electrical, computer, furniture, entertainment and bedding goods. It is effectively a franchise and the main brand owned by Harvey Norman Holdings Limited.There are more than 160 Harvey Norman stores in Australia, New Zealand, Slovenia, Ireland, Malaysia and Singapore altogether.
Harvey Norman Holdings Limited is franchisor of several other Australian retail chains such as Domayne, Space Furniture, Ariston Appliances and Joyce Mayne. Harvey Norman's operating structure is unusual in that each store department (bedding, furniture, computer and/or electrical) is operated by a separate franchisee. Thus many superstores are a combination of three or four separate businesses with each franchisee contributing revenue to Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd through lease payments and
a portion of sales. As each section is a separate franchise the salespeople will only work within their franchise, for example, an employee in the computer department will generally not be permitted to assist customers in the furniture, bedding and electrical departments.
Each department also has its own checkout for its products. The warehouse is shared by the separate franchisees.
