## Resource

Kmart’s bold new furniture showroom aims to conquer the $35 billion home goods market, ditching cramped aisles for a sprawling 4,000 sq meter space designed to wow customers — and directly challenge IKEA. Powered by their popular Anko brand and curated picks, this isn’t just another store; it’s a strategic leap by Wesfarmers to boost sales and traffic, with plans for a second location if successful. Meanwhile, the company’s CEO Rob Scott is betting big on AI to revolutionize shopping — helping Aussies find inspiration and boost basket sizes — but insists physical stores remain non-negotiable, proving that even in a digital age, touch and feel still sell.
