Battery World Now Open In Victor Harbor
Big news for the Fleurieu Peninsula and surrounding communities. Battery World has officially opened a brand-new store in Victor Harbor.
South Australian family business owners, Matt and Andrew Milne have expanded their growing Battery World network with their fifth store, bringing expert battery advice and comprehensive solutions to coastal motorists and locals alike.
Victor Harbor had been on the Milne brothers’ wish list of locations for years.
“We’ve been wanting to do Victor Harbor for a long time and we finally found the right site,” said Matt Milne.
“It’s an area that wasn’t covered, and Andrew lives close by, so it made perfect sense for us.”
The new store is a purpose-built, greenfield development featuring Battery World’s latest store layout designed to make finding the right battery easy, with expert help on hand.
Matt and Andrew’s Battery World journey began 13 years ago after transitioning out of retail management roles.
“We have always enjoyed working with and serving people,” Matt said. “We knew we wanted to stay in retail but do something different, and franchising felt like a natural step, in a new industry that we were already interested in it as well.”
Everything battery, all in one place
The Victor Harbor store will stock a wide range of batteries for:
- Cars and 4WDs
- Marine and boating
- Caravans and recreational vehicles
- Mobility scooters
- Solar systems
- Power tools
- Household and everyday devices
Customers can also take advantage of free battery testing and professional installation services, ensuring peace of mind no matter the power need.
Proudly backing local communities
Supporting local communities is at the forefront of the Milne family’s approach to business. Across their stores, they sponsor everything from Sunraysia Football League coin tosses and motorbike racing to lawn bowls championships and Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) school programs.
“We find that if we sponsor the league rather than just one team, it works better for everyone,” Matt says. “The community supports us because we support them.”
Servicing the Fleurieu Peninsula
Andrew Milne will oversee day-to-day operations at the Victor Harbor store, which will service the wider Fleurieu Peninsula region, including Goolwa, Port Elliot, Middleton and surrounding areas.
With plans to continue growing, the brothers have ambitious growth plans to operating up to 8–10 stores in the future.
