The Home Depot was founded in 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia and has since become the world's largest home improvement retailer, operating more than 2,000 stores such as The Home Depot, EXPO Design Center, The Home Depot Supply and other subsidiary companies across North America.

We cater to both do-it-yourself, do-it-for me and professional customers who serve the home improvement construction and building maintenance market segments.

We are credited with having revolutionized the home improvement industry by offering an unparalleled selection of products and services under one roof.

Today, our stores stock up to 40,000 different kinds of building materials and lawn and garden products.

Our unique services include free in-store clinics for honing home improvement skills as well as design and decorating consultation, truck and tool rental, home delivery and many others.

While The Home Depot is best known for our signature "orange box" store, we also operate several specialty subsidiaries that specialize in flooring, lighting, plumbing and landscape supply. Our EXPO Design Centers cater to design professionals with a wide array of home decorating products and services.

The Home Depot currently operates in 50 U.S. states and in the District of Columbia, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico. In addition, The Home Depot recently opened two sourcing offices in China.
