Additionally, at the end of fiscal 2006, we had 47 other retail store locations, which included 34 EXPO
Design Center stores located in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia; 11 The Home Depot
Landscape Supply stores located in Georgia and Texas; and two The Home Depot Floor Stores located
in Florida and Texas. We also operated seven Home Decorators Collection locations in Illinois, Kansas,
Missouri and Oklahoma.
Of our 2,147 retail stores at the end of fiscal 2006, approximately 87% were owned (including those
owned subject to a ground lease) consisting of approximately 196.0 million square feet, and
approximately 13% of such stores were leased consisting of approximately 29.3 million square feet. In
recent years, we have increased the relative percentage of new stores that are owned. We generally
prefer to own retail stores because of greater operating control and flexibility, generally lower
occupancy costs and certain other economic advantages.
At the end of fiscal 2006, our Retail segment utilized 195 warehouses and distribution centers located
in 42 states, consisting of approximately 28.2 million square feet, of which approximately 2.0 million is
owned and approximately 26.2 million is leased.
HD Supply consists of four major platforms: infrastructure, construction, maintenance and repair and
remodel. The infrastructure platform consists of 325 U.S. branches in 41 states and four branches in
Canada. The construction platform consists of 527 U.S. branches in 35 states and 56 branches in
Canada. The maintenance platform consists of 90 U.S. branches in 25 states and five branches in
Canada. Finally, the repair and remodel platform consists of 13 U.S. branches in two states. One or
more platforms may operate multiple branches at one HD Supply location.
