Changes
Bright and Hitchcocks became a public company in 1950 with almost 600 shareholders. 1959 saw the company purchased by Foy and Gibsons Ltd, who then merged with Cox Brothers.
Cox Brothers ran into financial problems in 1966, and in March 1968 saw the store sold to new owners, who changed the name to "Brights". It was sold again in January 1969 to Sydney based Burns Philp and Co, who renamed the store to "Mates". The final sale was in 1976 when Chas Moore took over the lease, changing the name again, this time to "Moores".
