Home improvement translates well in many markets, and
our market-back approach allows us to address unique
local preferences and respond to changing market
dynamics. Whether it’s a new store format for an urban U.S.
market, a region-specific product assortment, or another country’s
culture and customs, we have the ability to recognize and fulfill
customer preferences.
Moving beyond our borders is a principal component of our market
expansion plan. We have been steadily growing our presence in
Mexico and Canada, and have become the home improvement
leader in both countries. We also announced plans to expand our
presence in China.

the Market
At the end of 2004, we had 44 stores in Mexico and 117 stores in Canada.
