The Hirsch family started their appliance business in a tiny showroom in Umhlanga Rocks Drive, in Durban, in 1979 with just R900 which they had saved.<\/p>\n
Forty years later Hirsch\u2019s has grown into a chain of the mega appliance, electronics and home furnishing stores in KwaZulu-Natal, Cape Town and Gauteng.<\/p>
They have won multiple awards for their service ethic and Hirsch\u2019s stores are not only places where one can shop for the home, but with their regular networking events, they have also become meeting places for business people, young mums, aspiring chefs and domestic workers.<\/p>\n
Commenting on their milestone birthday on January 29, CEO of the company, Allan Hirsch said, \u201cI can\u2019t believe that 40 years have passed since we started Hirsch\u2019s.<\/p>
\u201cThe growth that we have had over the years and the people who have assisted us, and the support that we have had from the public for the last 40 years has been phenomenal.<\/p>\n
