family-
friendly
stores
To serve in-town residents, for example,
we have recently introduced a new
store format in Brooklyn. This “urban
store”design offers Home Depot
products and services in a compact
format, with a tighter product mix
focused on local needs and convenience
shopping. Of course, urban stores look
and feel like The Home Depot, with
competitive low prices, quality products
and knowledgeable associates. It’s
just another way we show The Home
Depot’s commitment to serve our
customers, whatever their calling and
wherever they call home.
LOCAL MERCHANDISING At The Home Depot, we strive to
keep our stores “neighborhood friendly” because every
customer and each community has distinct, unique needs.
For that reason, we continually create innovative store designs
and product and service assortments to serve do-it-your-
selfers, tradespeople and large contractors in all types of
markets. This attention to local preferences helped drive our
company’s growth to 1,333 stores by the end of fiscal year
2001, and it will become even sharper going forward.
