- Retail_Adventures abstract "The Retail Adventures group was the largest discount variety retailer in Australia following the acquisition of Australian Discount Retail in 2009.Australian Discount Retail was formed in 2005 after the sale of the discount division of Miller's Retail (now known as Specialty Fashion Group) and the sale of The Warehouse Australia by The Warehouse Group New Zealand to private equity firms Catalyst and CHAMP. Catalyst and CHAMP reportedly paid A$200 million which was funded by NAB Capital, ANZ and BOS International. The combined entity was Australia’s leading discount variety retailer with revenues nearing $1 billion and a store presence in every state and territory in the country.The company traded under the household names Go-Lo /Crazy Clark's (275 stores), Chickenfeed (39 stores), and Sam's Warehouse (99 stores). In 2008 the company rebranded all The Warehouse stores as Sam's Warehouse as a condition of sale from The Warehouse New Zealand.Retail Adventures has more than ten buyers ranging merchandise for over 25 buying categories. This merchandise is sourced from suppliers based locally and overseas.The main competitors of Australian Discount Retail include Kmart, Homeart and The Reject Shop.On 20 January 2009 the Board of Australian Discount Retail has placed the company in voluntary administration. Staff have been assured their entitlements are safe, but the future of their employment would not be known for months as a buyer was sought for the business. The size and scale of ADR makes this the biggest retail collapse Australian business in over five years.On 23 March 2009 it was announced that the company had been sold to Retail Adventures Pty Ltd, a company owned by Australian millionaire Jan Cameron, the former owner of Kathmandu, for an undisclosed sum. The sale guarantees the 2,500 permanent and 7,500 casual jobs under ADR.On 27 October 2012, Retail Adventures Pty Ltd was placed into administration. Owner Jan Cameron will operate the viable section of the business under a licence from the administrators, with the intention of buying the business back after the restructuring. 950 staff are expected to lose their jobs, while 5000 full-time staff at 238 stores will remain. The only brands expected to survive are Crazy Clark's and Sam's Warehouse.".
