Fond memories of the 1990s I CAN remember when we first opened Harvey Norman in Shepparton, my husband Richard, and I were proprietors in furniture, Peter Rolston in electrical and John Brewer was the computer proprietor. It took us two weeks to set up the showroom from early morning until well into the night thankful for the support of local transport companies who made this all possible by going out of their way to get the goods here in time. We still use Goulburn Valley Transport to this day and take this opportunity to thank them again. This was a totally new concept to Shepparton and regional Victoria, introducing the latest trends in furniture and bedding, a vast range of innovative electrical product and the latest technology in computers & software. Everything was available to customers under the one roof. Harvey Norman coming to Shepparton was a first for the region and the idea was to keep retail business local rather than people having to travel to Melbourne. Sunday trading was also introduced at this time allowing families to shop together at

their leisure. Friday night trading was a 9pm close and the hours have somewhat changed now to accommodate both customers and staff alike. When we first opened the store we remember when dirty boots were actually taken off at the front door whilst customers browsed the showroom and obviously not having to worry about their boots being taken. Times have changed. Friday nights never really ceased to amaze us when people used the store as a meeting place. A gathering of the clans, friends and family coming from the outer regions of Shepparton to catch up and have a chat. They would stay almost until close and sit at dining settings or just lounge around on lounge suites. Being so near the airport was a little daunting in the early days when we remember a couple of light planes over shooting the runway. The adrenalin rush we all felt back in those days when Pip Borrman amazed us with his acrobatic stunts directly above our warehouse. Everyone stood with mouths agape in awe of Pip. - Teresa Carlson
