Super Retail Group

What Super Retail Group does

Super Retail Group Limited (ASX: SUL) is an Australia and New Zealand specialty retailer that operates four iconic consumer brands: Supercheap Auto (360+ stores selling automotive aftermarket parts, accessories, and DIFY fitment services), rebel (160+ stores selling sporting goods), BCF (170 stores selling boating, camping, fishing and touring equipment), and Macpac (100+ stores selling technical outdoor apparel and equipment designed in New Zealand). The company was founded in 1972 by Reg and Hazel Rowe as a Queensland mail-order automotive accessories business, opened its first retail store in 1974, and went public in 2004 with 176 stores; it now operates more than 790 stores supported by 15,000+ team members, six distribution centres across Australia and New Zealand, and a Sourcing Asia headquarters in Hangzhou plus a product development office in Shanghai.

The Group runs an omni-retail business model that combines physical retail stores with brand-specific e-commerce platforms (supercheapauto.com.au, rebelsport.com.au, bcf.com.au, macpac.com.au, and corresponding .co.nz domains). Customer loyalty programs across the four banners contribute 85% of Group sales, and the company also operates a minor B2B channel — Macpac Corporate Sales — supplying outdoor gear to ski fields, defence forces, glacier guides, schools, and construction crews. Technology stack is conventional omni-retail: shared store, e-commerce, and loyalty infrastructure, with an EDI (EDIFACT-based) system and supplier Orders Portal for trade partner integration. Marketing spans paid social, email/SMS, SEO, community partnerships (Lifeline, OzFish), and loyalty-driven referral channels.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly one-time retail transactions at the store and online level across consumer-discretionary categories (auto, sport, outdoor), supplemented by recurring-style loyalty engagement that drives repeat purchase frequency. The Group is led by Group CEO Paul Bradshaw (appointed November 2025) and Independent Non-Executive Chair Judith Swales (appointed October 2024), with Managing Directors recently refreshed across all four banners between October 2025 and June 2026, plus a new Chief Transformation Officer function created in January 2026. The company is incorporated in Queensland (ABN 81 108 676 204) and operates as an independent, publicly-traded entity with no parent company.
