The Home Depot was founded by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank in 1978 by securing necessary capital from investment banker K. Langone and P. Farrah, a merchandising expert. The first two stores were opened in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 22, 1979 with home improvement products and services. The format of the store was one-stop shopping for the do-it-yourselfer, also the vision of founders. The corporate/Headquarter of the company is located in Cobb County, Georgia. The company is listed with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and traded under the acronym HD (Home Depot).
The format of the store appealed to shoppers so much that within a span of 3 decades, the home improvement specialty stores spread throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, China, Mexico and Canada, selling more than 40,000 different types of construction products and services, home improvement items and appliances, and lawn and garden tools and accessories. The shoppers can also get hands-on experience on home improvement techniques at the free How-To Clinics of the Home Depot at every Saturday and Sunday.
