Costco is massive in the US - it's a one stop shop for all things home from food to furniture to outdoor to diamond rings to IT, and more at wholesale prices.

They arrive in Australia around July 08.

Yikes. Costco & Macy's = trouble for all levels of the current market.

We have Costco here too. You have to pay a membership to shop there and then everything is sold in bulk. Some things are good value but others aren't.

We also have Walmart. But here you can buy everything in every supermarket from cereal to motorbikes so Walmart is just another example.

Costco is indeed 'massive' - more like a huge warehouse full of anything and everything. Nothing like Walmart - it's not a dept store. Think Bunnings type set up

I don't like football.

I will never understand why all you grown men salivate while young boys run around in tight shorts.

It looks as though Westfarmers, who now own Coles LMT, are going to scrap K-mart and focus on Target only.

They are also going to split all buisnesses up too, the massive coles HO in Torronga will make way for apartments....

Could the massive announcement be that Collingwood VFL will play home games at Princes Park?
Is nothing sacred?
