The Home Depot was founded in 1978 by business partners Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus. The goal was to create a revolutionary hardware store that can sell home improvement goods. By 1979, the company already had two stores under its belt, which were 60,000 square feet in size and could stock more than 25,000 products.
Over time, The Home Depot expanded to become the world’s largest home improvement retailer, possessing more than 2,300 stores in the United States, Mexico and Canada. A typical The Home Depot store today has an average indoor retail space of 105,000 square feet. Additionally, the company has also launched its e-commerce business offering more than one million products for customers who are into DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects.
As of the current day, the major product categories include home decor, furniture and kitchenware, project calculators, appliances, cleaning essentials, electrical supplies, hardware supplies, lighting and ceiling fans, garden essentials, smart home and plumbing. Apart from that, the primary payment options include debit and credit cards from major vendors (such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover), reloadable gift cards and PayPal.
