When it was founded in 1978 by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, The Home Depot® began changing consumers’ perspectives about how they could care for and improve their homes. The Company created the “do-it-yourself” concept, spawning an entire industry that now spans the globe.

For most people, their home is the biggest financial and emotional investment they make. Through a variety of innovative merchandise and services, The Home Depot’s goal is to enable consumers to save substantial money on the cost of operating, maintaining and updating their homes with everyday low prices on the products they need the most, such as filters, light bulbs, WaterSense® and ENERGY STAR® products as well as paint, carpet and outdoor power equipment. In addition, the Company offers specialized support and services for professional contractors and tradespeople to ensure they have the right tools and supplies for the job site.

Retail Stores As the world’s largest home improvement retailer, The Home Depot operates more than 2,200 retail stores in the United States (including the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands), Canada, Mexico and China. Stores average 105,000 square feet with approximately 23,000 additional square feet of outside garden area.
