The Australian grocery sector is valued at A$90 billion and it is understood that Kaufland will position itself as a cross between Target and Coles.
The average Kaufland store is tipped to generate $46 million in annual sales, with it expecting to open between 10 and 15 stores on Australia’s eastern seaboard in 2021, with stores holding between 28,000 and 30,000 products.
I wish so much that they will arrive here in the not too distant future.
I absolutely love shopping in Kaufland every time I head up to the northern hemisphere.

This morning, it was a bit crunchy, but dry. I chucked the homes section into the recycling bin. We don't need it to start fires anymore.
I then, eagerly began my assault on the events of the past week+. The silly comments of many of my neighbours. The news stories that don't give many facts, but lots of opinions.
Then I came to the last page.
I went back through. Searching.
I then went from back to front. Searching.
Where was it? Where was my sudoku? Where was my crossword puzzle? Was it in the Home section? No.
Curse you Western Leader!! You have let me down for the last time.
(These are the kinds of rubbish complaints I love about Neighbourly. I assume that the WL was a couple of pages of news and comments short of needing another sheet and had to cut the games section. Oh well.)
