SYDNEY: Harvey Norman has emerged as the dominant force in Northern Territory electrical retailing, taking two of the top five spots in nominations for best retailer in that state.

The nominations, for the coming Electrical Retailer Awards, put Harvey Norman Darwin and Harvey Norman Alice Springs in the top group, joined by (in alphabetic order) Murray Oakley Discounts, Retravision Darwin and The Good Guys Darwin.

Finalists are picked by over 100 suppliers on the basis of store layout and design, staff product knowledge, local marketing initiatives, buying efficiencies and increased sales.

The winner will be announced at the Electrical Retailer Awards tomorrow. The ceremony will take place at the Sofitel Wentworth in Sydney.
