Founded in 1978 by Bernard Marcus and Arthur Blank in Atlanta, Georgia, Home Depot began with two pioneering warehouse stores that emphasized a one-stop shop for building supplies. Over the ensuing decades, the company expanded rapidly across the United States, entered international markets in Canada (1994) and Mexico (2001), and established a robust distribution network to support its retail and commercial operations. Home Depot’s headquarters remain in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Ted Decker, Home Depot continues to invest in technology, supply chain efficiency and professional customer programs. The company’s strategic focus includes enhancing its digital platform, expanding installation services, and strengthening its trade relationships, all while maintaining a commitment to customer service and operational excellence.
