Briscoe Group Limited is a New Zealand retailer that sells homeware and sporting goods through two main store brands: Briscoes Homeware and Rebel Sport. Briscoes stores sell things like kitchen appliances, bedding, and cookware, while Rebel Sport focuses on athletic gear, clothing, and footwear. The company is one of New Zealand's largest specialty retailers in these two categories and operates exclusively within New Zealand.

The company makes money by selling products directly to everyday consumers through its physical stores and online shopping platform. With a gross margin around 39%, Briscoe Group relies on frequent promotional sales events — which have become a well-known part of its brand identity — to drive customer traffic and volume. The business faces ongoing risk from cost-of-living pressures on New Zealand households, which can reduce spending on discretionary items like homewares and sports equipment, while its main growth opportunity lies in expanding its e-commerce sales and maintaining market share against international online competitors.
