    A business expert believes the Warehouse is struggling against international competitors

    A business expert believes the Warehouse is struggling against international competitors


    The company has reported a 11.8-million half year profit but sales are falling.

    AUT Macro-marketing Professor Ben Wolliscroft says the Warehouse is now having to face off against giants like Amazon and Temu.

    He says the retailer faces some disadvantages against online retailers.

    Wolliscroft says it's hard to match them on price because they have to support physical stores.
