An Australian company is thinking big - taking on US giant Costco in the battle for the hearts and minds of Brisbane shoppers.
Metcash will open the doors of its first Value Depot discount warehouse on Saturday.
The mega store at Amy Johnson Place, Eagle Farm, will trade seven days a week and aims to compete with bulk warehouse giant Costco.
After the Brisbane pilot, Metcash aims to extend the national network of bulk purchase wholesale warehouses to NSW and Victoria.
The rollout will include new sites, as well as the conversion of many of the 18 existing CCC outlets.
Value Depot will stock more than 10,000 lines and offer access to more than 35,000 products through the Metcash parent company, which owns IGA stores, Mitre 10, Automotive Brands Group and Australian Liquor Marketers.
