A Northern Ireland Hi-Fi shop is hitting all the right notes as it celebrates 36 years in business. Having started from very humble beginnings in 1988, award-winning Kronos Audio Visual is now a global name in the Hi-Fi and stereo industry. Created by Dungannon music enthusiast David Campbell from his bedroom, Kronos AV was born out of frustration and a £1,000 loan from his uncle.
David explained: “I was a huge music fan and having searched several local stores for my hifi needs I couldn’t find a store that offered a diverse range of products that offered the customer the ability to build a music system to their exact needs and desires. So, out of frustration, I decided to start his own from my bedroom. “After attending shows in the UK, I spoke to numerous brands who were all keen to bring their brands to Northern Ireland so with a £1,000 loan from my uncle, I started Kronos AV.
” Over the past 36 years, Kronos AV has grown with the opening of its first store in Dungannon as well as expanding in Northern Ireland and into the UK mainland. Alongside this Kronos AV have solidified itself as a leading online retailer with customers from across the globe. The managing director explained: “We have grown over the years.
I started part time in my bedroom before opening our first store in Dungannon. We then moved to a larger store just down the road. "We then took on the huge challenge of opening a store in England.
We had quite a lot of customers from the UK mainland that .
