Dick Smith Cannington, WA flagship store re-emerges as . . . Altronics Cannington! For 17 years, the Dick Smith Electronics Cannington (WA) store was one of the flagship stores of the empire, until it closed its doors for the last time on April 16 as part of that company’s demise. Ironically, the DSE store’s biggest competitor was the close-by Altronics store (in fact, it was right next door!) . . . and now it has risen, Phoenix-like, as the Altronics Cannington store. Brian Sorenson, Altronics General Manager, said that the corner location of the old DSE store had superb exposure to Albany Highway so when the premises became available, it was a “no brainer” to move their Cannington store to the new location. Phone numbers and (almost!) the address remain the same. siliconchip.com.au Contact: Altronics Cannington Albany Hwy & Wharf Sts, Cannington WA 6107 Tel: (1300) 797 007 Web: www.altronics.com.au July 2016  57
