John Ilhan opened his first store in the inner-city Melbourne suburb of Brunswick in 1991 under the name Mobileworld.
Right from the start competitors started telling John his marketing ideas were 'crazy'. These ideas included selling mobile phones for $1 while competitors were charging $200, giving away free accessories or holding midnight barbecues in the early days of trading.
The name just stuck, Mobileworld became Crazy John's and the rest, as they say, is history.Never wavering from the company's true 'core values' of customer service, the best deals possible and innovative retail practices. We here at Warringah Mall Crazy Johns pride ourselves in delivering the best quality products and services on offer to customers at the best prices, while supporting a 'brand that people trust'.
