German retail giant Kaufland is set to arrive on Australian stores.

The big-box has established an Australian website to seek suitable flagship retail sites.

It is hiring for a number of management positions, including an architectural planner.

The company states it “is coming to Australia”, and is seeking staff and property locations to establish its flagship stores.

It currently operates 1230 stores across Europe and employs over 150,000 workers.

Kaufland says it is seeking plots of land with a minimum size of 10,000 square metres, and a preferred size between 20,000 and 15,000 square metres.

“Kaufland has an ambitious Australian investment and development programme.

Therefore we are always looking to purchase land and/or existing or projected developments,” the company website states.

Kaufland stores will be “destination retail”, and unlikely to be placed near other prime shopping locations.
