US or Australian? edit

What a bizarre article I should find when coming here looking to research the company that I knew to be Australian.

Actually I was unaware of the history this brand had in the US, notably the de-listing from ASX and listing on NASDAQ, which I guess is a credible reason to say this is a "US" company. However, since then it seems that original American venture has kind of failed and what it is now seems not well-known in America, and nor is it strictly even an American business, given there was a "leveraged buy-out by Australian venture capital firm, Ironbridge Capital", which in my books means this went back to being an Australian business. On THIS side of the Pacific, however, this is a very well known brand and according to the link here they've got 42 stores in Aus (I count 91 on the retail site) vs 23 in the States. I'd have to guess the majority of people coming to this article would be looking for the Australian chain. I think it needs rewriting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tilgrieog (talkcontribs) 13:41, 17 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
