JB Hi-Fi have been looking to establish a presence in Dubbo for many years and have agreed the perfect location is at one of the best shopping centres in regional Australia the newly expanded Orana Mall.

JB Hi-Fi is Australia’s largest home entertainment retailer. Famous for its low prices, biggest brands and huge range. The new store will be the first JB Hi-Fi HOME Store in regional New South Wales and will bring the well known offering of a JB Hi-Fi store plus the addition of whitegoods and appliances.

“This is great news for the Central West and Western Regions and will add a new level of retail offering and convenience to our customers," Steve Gooley, General Manager of the Bachrach Naumburger Group said.

The store will take over the location currently occupied by Bernardi’s Supa IGA with JB Hi-Fi targeting an early September opening date.

The Bernardi's IGA supermarket in Orana Mall announced on Tuesday morning it will close its doors on May 1, leaving upwards of 50 people without employment.
