Harris Scarfe is an Australian department store originally established in Adelaide, South Australia by George Harris in 1849. From 1857 George Harris welcomed George Scarfe and Richard Smith as major partners and so began Geo. P. Harris Scarfe & Co. The business continued to grow and in 1920 the company was rebranded to Harris Scarfe. It is owned by South African retail group Pepkor, and as of August 2017 there were 55 Harris Scarfe stores across the metro and regional areas of South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, ACT & Queensland, in two formats: "Harris Scarfe" department stores and "HS Home" homewares stores. Key categories are kitchenware, manchester, electrical goods, and apparel [information from Harris Scarfe website, 2018].
