[Crazy Dazz]

Firstly, whether by accident or clever planning, Bunnings expanded at the right time and has ridden the wave of "home renos" where every woman and her dog aspires to star on "The Block" or has her own youtube channel. Renovating for the fun of it is now big business.

Another critical thing they did, a few decades back, was launching the Bunnings Property Trust.
The single biggest issue facing small shopholders is that they are completely at the mercy of their landlord and/or centre management. It's one of the great "conundrums." Shopping Centres and Industrial Complexes are only popular because of their tenants. Yet the more popular the tenants, the more rnet they have to pay. Bunnings did away with all that, and eventually reabsorbed the Property Trust.

Bunnings also skates around the law they sell a large range of electrical and plumbing gear, all of which is illegal for homeowners to install.

Above all, they offer convenience for the DIY person who wouldn't otherwise know where to look. Want to replace the rollers on your 20 year old sliding door? Well Bunnings has the part for you.

And the thing is, that pricewise, they aren't that bad. I'm someone that likes to shop around, and I'm happy to look online, on ebays, and even Aliexpress if its something simple. And Bunnings is very competitive on most things.

Plus their no-questions return policy is very handy. Not sure which size you need? Buy both, and return the wrong one next week.

I've been fortunate, spending most of my life living close to nurseries. Where I am now, I have nurseries I could walk to if I wanted, and given the zoning that way, they're be around for a long-time yet. So I've never bought plants from Bunnings. But for some people, I imagine it's also a convenient solution.
