Description
DescriptionSnooze has been giving Australians a better night's sleep for more than 30 years - and with more than 70 franchises Australia wide it has most bedrooms covered.
Snooze is constantly travelling to research the latest bedroom trends and introduce more innovative and technologically advanced products to its range, while also stocking well-known brands including Madison, Slumberland, Sealy, Posturepedic and Sleepmaker.
The benefits from each partnership are passed on to Snooze's customers, employees, shareholders and suppliers, as well as local areas and stores.
Snooze has more than 30 years experience in the bedding industry and its hardworking staff have earned the title of Australia's Sleep Experts.
Future Plans
Today Snooze has over 70 stores - more than half of which have been operating for 10 years, some now in business for 20 years - and has plans for further growth. Currently, the Snooze brand spans Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria.
Snooze continues to pursue its vision of a healthier Australia, and has formed mutually beneficial long-term partnerships on a national level with organisations and charities that share the same goal.
Snooze is part of one of the world's leading retail organisations, Steinhoff Asia Pacific Limited, but still cares about what matters - putting staff first so Snooze customers continue to get the best service every time.
Testimonials
Thirty years ago we were looking for an opportunity that would set us up for life. We found Snooze and have never looked back.
Snooze has given us the opportunity to build a very comfortable lifestyle and we have been rewarded with enormous job satisfaction.
The Franchise Network has been an integral part of this success and the fact that we have made many lifelong friends is an added bonus. We looked at other franchise systems but Snooze was the one for us.
