Hirschs

Hirsch’s, a name synonymous with service and brand excellence has taken the home appliance world by storm! An appliance repair man who unwittingly became an entrepreneur, Allan Hirsch and his wife Margaret started their family run appliance business in a tiny showroom in Umhlanga Rocks Drive, Durban, in 1979 with just R900 that they had saved. Today Hirsch’s has grown into a chain of mega appliance and home furnishing stores in KZN and Gauteng. The Hirsch’s started off small, but built a strong base of customers over the years, first with repairs and second-hand repaired appliances and then into a fully fledged appliance retailer. Hirsch’s is very much a family run business with all four members of the Hirsch family involved in day to day operations. The Hirsch family does not take anything for granted and are regularly involved in various charities and sponsorships. Their giving nature ensures that they constantly support the less fortunate and they are always willing to help those in need. Allan, for instance, is a patron of the Phoenix Child Welfare society and Richard is a patron of the Claire-Ellis School.
