Briscoe Group is a New Zealand retail chain. It has 84 stores throughout New Zealand trading under the Briscoes Homeware, Living & Giving and Rebel Sport nameplates. In 1781, the predecessor of the modern company was founded in Wolverhampton, England. Initially a retailer of hardware, over the course of the 19th century it steadily expanded into the British colonies in Australia and New Zealand. The first New Zealand-based Briscoes warehouse and shop was established in 1862 on the corner of Princes and Jetty Streets in Dunedin. Its New Zealand business was initially aimed at supplying prospecting hardware (including shovels, picks, tents and lanterns) during the Otago gold rush. By the beginning of the First World War, Briscoes had offices in London, Sydney, Melbourne and throughout New Zealand. In addition to hardware and building supplies, the company also acted as an agent for skilled tradesmen, such as carpenters and masons, and also sold household items such as crockery and cutlery.
