Story

In April 1978 Barrow & Bench was created by the Stewart & Coote Families trading from the old Ampol Service Station site at the corner of Unley Road and Fisher Street, Unley, South Australia as a Big H Store.
In August 1982 Barrow & Bench joined the Mitre10 Group and in August 1984 the Stewart Family became the sole owners of the Barrow & Bench outlet.
The Malvern store relocated and moved into the old Fairway Ford site at 321 Unley Road, Unley in October 1999 after completing major reconstruction of the premises.
Ian Stewart retired in 2006 with Paul taking on the day to day running of the Malvern store. In 2013 Paul purchased the Malvern store . Paul's focus is on good customer service with the right range of DIY products.
MITRE 10 HISTORY: In 1959 a group of eight independent hardware and plumbing retailers formed a cooperative to harness their collective buying and marketing power. They chose the name Mitre 10.
Mitre is a term meaning "joining together" and the 10 signified the number of stores the group aspired to manage. A little over four decades on from its humble beginnings, Mitre 10 has become the biggest hardware brand throughout Australasia, with over 700 stores.
