Betta Home Living is an Australian independent retail franchise group providing home appliances and furniture in Australia. It is based in the Brisbane suburb of Eagle Farm, Queensland, and has stores across Australia. The chain is owned by the BSR Franchising group. A huge store network of over 200 stores allows for great buying power. With access to over 100 leading brands.
In 1959, three local independent electrical retailers (Crystal Radio at East Brisbane, Hess & Ferguson at Wynnum, and Laings Electrical at Red Hill) came together to combat rival electrical retail groups and formed the Brisbane Electrical Television Traders Association (BETTA). In 1961, by which time, there were 7 independent members, the Association was incorporated to form Betta Stores Pty Ltd. By 1964, when there were over 50 members Betta Stores Pty Ltd became a public company (Betta Stores Ltd), a business that serviced both Betta Electrical branded and non-branded independent retailers throughout the 1990s. After BSL was placed into administration in late 2006, 48 of the Betta Stores acquired the registered brand and formed the BSR group.
