History of Home Depot
The Home Depot is a well-known retail chain specializing in DIY, home renovation, and construction products. In its stores, customers can find a wide variety of items, ranging from tools and building materials to outdoor furniture, appliances, and much more.
The company was founded in 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia, by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, who previously worked as executives for the hardware store chain Handy Dan. Inspired by the big-box store model, they decided to launch a new store concept that offered a wide selection of products at competitive prices. The first store opened on February 6 of that year and quickly attracted public attention.
Today, Home Depot is not owned by a single person or entity. It is a publicly traded company, so its shares are held by numerous investors. Major shareholders include investment firms such as Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street Global Advisors, SSgA Funds Management, and Capital Research and Manager.
