The Home Depot
The Home Depot is a home improvement retailer that caters to individuals, corporations, and professional contractors. Customers can find supplies, tools, services, and home décor products at the company's roughly 2,200 locations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
On June 22, 1979, in Atlanta, Georgia, their founders realized their dream of providing one-stop shopping for do-it-yourselfers when they launched the first two Home Depot locations. The original stores, which were vast warehouses measuring roughly 60,000 square feet each, overwhelmed the competition and stocked 25,000 products, far more than the usual hardware store at the time.
The Home Depot is now the largest home improvement retailer in the world. Today's typical shop has 105,000 square feet of interior retail space and is linked to an e-commerce business with over one million goods for DIYers, professional contractors, and the industry's largest installation business for Do-It-For-Me customers.
