I used to work at Dick Smith at the time they still carried the suffix Electronics, from 2003 - 2007. I loved it there, grew up going there and playing with the gadgets and electronics. They're a shell of their former selves now, just a cheap consumer electronics store that tried to compete with other Australian retailers selling house branded and lower-end branded products.

They could probably significantly revitalise by moving back to tools & parts, I doubt many former customers would be loyal now though given how they were treated at the point all the PRZ range was dumped (parts, resistors, capacitors & semiconductors).

Be interested to see how this all plays out.
