Crazy John's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crazy John's is a mobile phone retail chain started up by Turkish-Australian businessman John Ilhan.
Crazy John’s opened its first store in Brunswick in Melbourne in 1991 and since then it has never stopped growing. By 1998 there were fifteen Crazy John’s stores in Victoria and the retailer was ranked in the top ten of Telstra’s mobile dealers. Today, Crazy John’s is the largest independent phone retailer in Australia with over 120 retail stores across Australia.
Crazy John’s nationally employs more than 600 people and prides itself on comprehensively training its staff and providing clear career paths for motivated employees.
The name Crazy John's came about through people constantly telling John Ilhan his marketing ideas were “crazy’’ and the name just stuck.
Crazy John's recently held a bid for the naming rights to Subiaco Oval. But soon lost it due to community action.
Crazy John's first came to prominence when they became the first company in Australia to offer $0 mobile phones to their customers and have since built a reputation as the people's mobile phone company offering low prices and a high level of service. In July 2007, when Crazy John's contract with Telstra expires, it will make the transition towards becoming a MVMO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) using an unknown network.
Crazy John's currently serves 500,000 customers.
