The Home Depot is expanding its U.S. footprint with 12 new stores and more than 1.6 million sq. ft. of retail space across eight states in 2026. As the nation faces a critical need for new housing and the upkeep of aging homes, this growth will create thousands of career opportunities and boost local economies from the Southern California coast to the Florida peninsula.
While many retailers are closing brick-and-mortar locations, The Home Depot is expanding its physical presence to better serve the modern builder and the inspired homeowner. By moving inventory and expert support closer to some of the nation’s fastest growing regions, the company is shortening the distance between a project’s start and its completion.
With each opening, the chain is rolling out features to enhance the in-store experience:
• Flexible checkout areas
• Specialty showrooms
• New merchandising displays
• Larger garden centers
• New storage areas for Buy Online Pick Up in Store orders
• A full-service tool rental center featuring pro-grade equipment
