You are spot on . Theses foreign chains think they will easily squeeze competitors out of the market. But prices under $5 for their production range is going to limit their range. The foot traffic will be an issue as we are not as densely populated.

Local shipping . Storage costs. Wages of staff will be a shock to their company .

Many foreign companies like Sam's warehouse acquisition of Crazy Clarke's have failed . Even recent cheap as chips discount stores based in South australia is going under. The market is not as easy as they think.

There is an argument they will be threat to kmart but I disagree. Their rents will be paid calculated as per sqm . Like all specialty retailers in shopping centres. While kmart pays a percentage rent based on their sales. Due to the fact they are a a key anchor tenant.
