Rick Hart: 8Area served Melbourne, Bendigo, South East Queensland, Mackay, Perth, Broome Products Electrical, Whitegoods Website www.clivepeeters.com.au Clive Peeters was an Australian electrical, computers, kitchens and whitegoods retailer with stores in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania. Under the original owners, the first stores opened in Melbourne in 1973 and Brisbane in 2001.
In 2005, Clive Peeters bought the Rick Hart chain of retail store in Western Australia, however the stores continue to trade under the Rick Hart name. Clive Peeters stores carry more than 140 brands and over 20,000 individual models.
Certain locations were acquired by Harvey Norman (The Derni Group) in July 2010, who will continue to operate both retailers independent of their other major retail brands, Harvey Norman, Joyce Mayne and Domayne.

New Management and Direction
Nik Papa was appointed General Manager in July 2010. Mr Papa is a highly respected businessman who has held senior and key positions at both Harvey Norman and Brashs.
The new vision for Clive Peeters is to improve the business’s standing after the recent receivership of the original entity, Clive Peeters Limited (CPL).
On 11 August 2011, Harvey Norman Executive Chairman Gerry Harvey announced that the Clive Peters brand was "stuffed" and tainted beyond repair, admitting that it was a bad business decision for Harvey Norman to take over Clive Peeters in the first place. As a result, 13 Clive Peeters stores and 5 Rick Hart stores will be converted to Harvey Norman stores (with the exception of two stores, which will be converted to Joyce Mayne stores), with the remaining four Clive Peeters stores and three Rick Hart stores being closed down and sold off, because of proximity to existing Harvey Norman stores in those areas.[1]
