History

THEN

Electronic Interiors evolved from the electronics division of Toombul Music. This iconic Brisbane retail music business began when Westfield opened Toombul Shoppingtown in 1967. It was a tiny record store selling 78’s and LP records and over the next 40 years evolved into one of the largest independent music businesses in the country.

It became an important destination for everyone who cherished music, an institution for musicians and even the music makers themselves. As the customers grew, so did the product range, with CD, DVD, musical instruments and consumer home electronics, all combining a one stop shopping experience. However, the business gained national recognition and reputation from the unique presentations of superstar artists and performers. This resulted in multiple national awards and induction into the Westfield Hall of Fame in 1997 for retail excellence. In 2001 a new division Electronic Interiors was introduced to develop the emerging home cinema / automation business, driven by the huge commercial success of DVD.

By 2008 however, the winds of change were blowing for the music industry because the effect the internet was having with the downloading of music, and the current business model in a high rent shopping centre was coming to an end. The now successful Electronic Interiors home cinema division had become the flagship of the business, so it was decided to close Toombul Music and relocate Electronic Interiors to larger and more efficient destination at nearby Northgate. Toombul Music became an online business.
