About Home Depot:
The Home Depot or simply Home Depot (NYSE: HD) is
an American retailer of home
improvement and construction products and services. The Home Depot operates
2,242 big-box
format stores across the United
States (including all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam), Canada
(all ten provinces), Mexico
and China.[6]
(12 store chain). The Home Depot is headquartered from the Atlanta Store Support Center
in unincorporated Cobb
County, Georgia.[7]
In terms of overall revenue reported to
the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, The
Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, ahead of
rival Lowe's,
and the fourth largest general retailer.[8] The store operates
out of large warehouse style buildings averaging 105,000 ft² (9,755 m²) with megastores operating in larger
facilities (the company's largest store, located in Union,
New Jersey is 225,000
ft²).[9]
The company announced in summer 2009 that it will close its
tire plant in the Philippines as part of a strategy to address uncompetitive manufacturing capacity globally by the
end of the third quarter.[11]
Home Depot stores are large,[neutrality is disputed] averaging 105,000 ft² (9,755 m²) and organized
warehouse-style, stocking a large range of supplies. Home Depot's largest store is located in Anaheim,
California.[14] The company color is a bright orange (PMS 165, CMYK 60M100Y),
on signs, equipment and employee aprons.
Its 2005 sales totaled US$91.8 billion (US$77.0 billion in
retail sales). Despite the 10% increase in revenue, it dropped three spots to #17 on the
2007 FORTUNE magazine's FORTUNE 500 list (it was #13 in 2005 and #14 in 2006). The Home
Depot owned EXPO Design Center, a chain of higher-end home decorating and appliance stores, but closed the chain
in 2009.[15] In 2006, the Home Depot
acquired Hughes
Supply which was assimilated into HD
Supply serving contractors, which it eventually sold in June 2007. In September 2005, Home Depot
Direct launched its high-end online home-furnishings store, 10 Crescent Lane, shortly followed by the launch
of Paces Trading Company, its high-end online lighting store. In mid 2006, the Home Depot acquired Home
Decorators Collection which was placed as an additional brand under its Home Depot Direct
Division. Home Depot Landscape Supply, with
only a few stores each in metro Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth, was founded in
2002 and closed in late 2007.
On January 2, 2007, the Home Depot and Robert Nardelli mutually agreed on Nardelli's resignation as CEO after a six-year tenure. Nardelli resigned amid
complaints over his heavy-handed management and whether his pay package of $123.7 million, excluding stock option
grants, over the past 5 years was excessive considering the stock's poor performance versus its
competitor Lowe's. His golden parachute severance package of $210 million has been criticized
because when the stock went down his pay went up.[13] [16] His successor is Frank Blake, who previously served as the company's vice chairman of the board and executive vice president. Blake
agreed to a much more conservative compensation package than his predecessor that is very heavily dependent upon
the success of the company.
In 2008 and 2009, with the downturn in the housing market, The
Home Depot announced the layoff of several thousand associates, as well as the closing of 54 stores nationwide,
including the entire EXPO Design Center chain.[17][18] In the year to February 2009 sales totaled $71.288
billion, more than $20 billion down from the peak of two years earlier due to the sale of HD Supply and falling
revenue at the retained business.
