Elephant House was originally established in Endeavour Hills in 2004 fulfilling a long-felt need for the Sri Lankan community in Melbourne. Due to increasing demand of fast moving consumer goods and take away foods Elephant House was shifted to the spacious and convenient current location (opposite Syndal Station, Glen Waverley) in 08th March, 2004.
 
In 11th March, 2009 Elephant House was revamped and re-launched under a new ownership with a broader vision of serving Sri Lankan, Indian and Asian community.

Elephant House is the most profound household name amongst the Sri Lankan community in Melbourne.
