A rich history and a love affair with appliances.

Born in 1969, Spartan Appliances first opened its doors under founder Peter Tsoutouras. Still leading the business today, Peter’s journey began with a genuine passion for emerging appliance technology. In the early days, he focused on selling refrigerators—famously following ice-block delivery trucks, noting homes still relying on them, and introducing those households to the convenience of modern refrigeration. It was a simple idea, driven by instinct and hard work, that laid the foundation for everything that followed.

Fast forward to today, and several generations later, many of those same families who first met Peter at their doorstep remain loyal Spartan customers—a testament to the relationships built over decades.

Spartan Appliances remains proudly South Australian and family owned. Peter is still hands-on, working seven days a week, alongside his daughter Athena, her husband Andrew, nephew Con, and sons Con and Chris. It’s a true family operation, grounded in shared values and a commitment to service.

It’s still not unusual to see Peter’s grandchildren in store, although they’re much older now and no longer darting around the showrooms. They’ve grown up alongside the business, and that strong sense of family continues to shape everything we do.

Step into one of our stores and you’ll often be greeted by the smell of something cooking in our display kitchens. Food, like appliances, is a big passion of ours. We love showcasing what great appliances can do—bringing people together and creating memorable experiences at home.

At Spartan, being a family business means we treat our customers like family too. That’s why we stand behind every product we sell, offering only the brands and appliances we trust in our own homes.
