- The Home Depot, Inc. (Ticker: HDI.DE) operates as the world's largest home improvement retailer, offering a broad assortment of building materials and supplies; home improvement products including kitchen and bath fixtures, appliances, paint, flooring, lawn and garden products, tools, and electrical and plumbing supplies; installation and assembly services; tool and equipment rental; and home maintenance and design services such as cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and window treatments. The company serves do-it-yourself customers, do-it-for-me customers, professional contractors, and maintenance, repair, and operations customers through a network of retail stores, online platforms, and distribution centers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, The Home Depot generates the majority of its revenue from its U.S. operations, with additional segments in Canada and Mexico.
In recent years, the company has expanded its interconnected retail strategy, including the launch of new buy-online-pick-up-in-store capabilities and enhanced delivery options through partnerships with logistics providers. The Home Depot acquired HD Supply Holdings, Inc., in December 2020, bolstering its professional services distribution network for maintenance, repair, and operations customers, followed by the divestiture of its non-core HD Supply businesses in 2022 to focus on core growth areas. Additionally, in 2024, it introduced The Home Depot Pro platform, a dedicated loyalty and service program for professional customers, and invested in supply chain enhancements with new distribution centers to support e-commerce growth amid rising demand for professional-grade products and services.
