Queensland Book Depot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
QBD The Bookshop is a privately owned company comprising of 19 stores in Queensland, New South Wales and Northern Territory (as of September 2006).
QBD The Bookshop (originally Queensland Book Depot) commenced operations in the late 1800's. Over the past 130 years QBD has had a number of owners, including the Uniting Church. QBD grew into the largest book chain in Queensland, only to be stricken by a number of takeovers and receiverships.
QBD Garden City was purchased in 1991 by the Robinson family, and in early 1992 the business names were purchased from the receivers. QBD The Bookshop has since expanded to numerous stores and a warehouse, in line with the company's policy to rebuild the business to its former standing.
Currently run by Mark and Steve Robinson, this company is 100% Australian owned.
