History

EziBuy was established in 1978 by brothers Peter and Gerard Gillespie, and their friend John Robinson in Palmerston North, New Zealand. The business began as a catalogue retailer selling womenswear and menswear. The first catalogue was a simple folded, A3 black and white page which was mailed to a list of local organisations in 1978. EziBuy celebrated its 35th anniversary at their Palmerston North distribution centre.[2][3]

In January 2002, EziBuy purchased Myer Direct from Coles Myer.

In August 2013, EziBuy was acquired by Woolworths Limited.[4][5]
