Harvey Norman has announced solid first quarter sales growth in Australia and even better numbers in Malaysia, where it is planning a big expansion.
Sales revenue for Harvey Norman's Australian retail franchise outlets rose by almost nine per cent for the three months to October 31, while Malaysian sales were up 38.4 per cent, compared to the same period a year ago.
The electronics and furniture retailer on Monday opened its 28th store in Malaysia, where it has had a presence since 2003, and sees a "significant opportunity" to grow that number to 80 by the end of 2028.
