The Victoria Park outlet has had a detailed history. Originally a Retravision member, the store was sold to Rick Hart and converted to a Rick Hart-branded outlet. Hart then sold it to Clive Peeters, which then collapsed in 2010. Two months later, Harvey Norman acquired the store as part of its $55 million purchase of Clive Peeters assets.
Harvey Norman Belmont North was also formerly a Rick Hart store.
The Victoria Park store was located at 1010 Albany Highway in East Victoria Park. Calls to this store are currently being redirected to Harvey Norman’s Cannington store.
