That's pretty obvious -- it's a big country, mate. A store would need to
have a LOT of local outlets to cover every city in the USA. Some do
(Starbucks). Some did (Sears). But HF isn't one of them.

I know Oz is big, too, but you have to admit a lot of it is empty. I bet
your mates in Alice Springs do a lot of mail order...
