The first Sussan store opened on Little Collins St, Melbourne selling lingerie in 1939. By the end of 1951 there were three Victorian stores in Little Collins St, Collins St and Swanston St. In 1953 the first two stores opened in Adelaide followed by a Perth store in 1956. During the 60’s, the Sussan range grew beyond traditional lingerie and blouses. By 1968, their expansion continued with the purchase of Chic Salon from Woolworths, a 94-store lingerie chain operating in Queensland and New South Wales. This acquisition, along with the 60 existing stores in the southern states and Western Australia, made Sussan a national operation.

In 2003, Naomi Milgrom, the granddaughter of the founders - Fay and Sam Gandel - took control of the group after buying out her parents and siblings. Her father is Marc Besen and her uncle is John Gandel.
