Home Depot Trims Store Count
Most home décor and design companies would normally be aggressive at first, but it will all come to a point of re-evaluation on whether the feasibility of their actual operations will bring in profit or simply add to the list of losses which any entrepreneur and businessman would dread.
For Home Depot, a much respected and heralded home improvement retailer, curtailing the costs and the products and services being offered may be a necessity since rising expenses for the duration of its operation may not be all that appealing. Such has been their move in shutting down several stores located in Atlanta and Dallas which will surely affects some 380 workers.
“The stores, located in Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth, sell a variety of lawn and garden products, including live goods, chemicals, tools and irrigation systems.
“There are no plans to expand the concept,” Home Depot spokesman Ron DeFeo said. He added that the retailer felt that resources devoted to the landscape stores, the first of which opened in 2002, could be shifted back into its core retail warehouses.
The company plans to hold job fairs for affected workers, he said.”
