kmart closed down in Dunedin two years ago ,and has now relocated to a new site and reopened .
no big deal a similar shop, as are so many but no big threat to the warehouse at all operating in a different sphere .

They wont lose any volume of customers ,they will lose sales on some Items ,as will bricoes and others nothing a store in that sphere cannot handle .
Cant see the big deal about kmart v warehouse its not s direct competition plenty of others in the mix not ikea costco .
Wish I was the ex C E O frosty lol
Aliexpress with a markup maybe (amazon for noel leemings).
"We have a garden centre and they don't".
Serve coffee or something and allow people to relax near the garden centre and chat about life. Rather than being cyborgs stuck in a 20m long self-service checkout line.

I stood around in queue at Warehouse day before before deciding it wasn't worth it and put the items back and went away. Was also at Farmers later and served instantly. Got me thinking, why such sluggish service at a loss making business and good service at a (I presume) profitable one?
The items I might have got at Warehouse were cheaper at Paknsav anyway.
