In the heart of Cohuna, Victoria, Craig and Atalie Warren have built a thriving business at Cohuna Betta Home Living, a one-stop shop for homewares, electrical appliances, flooring, and furniture. Since taking ownership in 2021, the couple has transformed the store into a cornerstone of commerce, offering a diverse range of products and exceptional service. Now, as they prepare to sell the business, they reflect on their journey as one defined by fun, expansion, and multifaceted growth, with training available to ensure a smooth transition for new owners.
Craig and Atalie saw an opportunity to elevate their business in July 2023 by acquiring AD Home Furnishings, rebranding it under Cohuna Betta. This bold move expanded their offerings beyond traditional electrical appliances to include lounge suites, bed frames, mattresses, recliners, and a flooring and blinds division. With an efficient delivery and installation of furniture, white goods and utilising Hayden’s years of knowledge in laying carpet Cohuna Betta has flourished as a business.
The Warrens describe their experience as “fun, expansive, and multifaceted.” The fun comes from engaging with the Cohuna community and the surrounding areas, including Leitchville, Gunbower, Koondrook, Barham, Wakool, and Pyramid Hill. Their passion for supporting local sporting clubs and charity events has fostered strong connections, making the store more than just a retail space. The expansion of their business into furniture and flooring reflects their willingness to adapt and grow, meeting the evolving needs of their customers. The multifaceted nature of their work lies in balancing diverse product lines while maintaining a commitment to quality and service, employing four local staff members who share their dedication.
As they prepare to move on to new ventures, Craig and Atalie are committed to ensuring the business’s legacy continues. They, along with the Betta network, are offering comprehensive training for new owners, providing an opportunity for someone to step into a well-established, community-focused enterprise. Cohuna Betta is a turnkey operation with a loyal customer base and a reputation for reliability.
For Craig and Atalie, selling Cohuna Betta is not just a transaction but a chance to pass the torch to someone ready to embrace the dynamic, rewarding world of home living retail. Their journey has been a testament to hard work, community spirit, and adaptability, leaving a lasting impact on Cohuna and beyond.
