The Home Depot is expanding its U.S. footprint with 12 new stores and more than 1.6 million square feet 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.

Seamless from Start to Finish

Home improvement projects start online but come to life in our aisles or on the jobsite. With more than half of online orders fulfilled through our stores, our 12 new locations enable fast same-day delivery or a quick in-store pickup, supported by advanced tools and expert guidance.

Customers can also simplify their work with AI solutions like Magic Apron, offering product advice and in-store navigation. AI-driven logistics ensure deliveries arrive exactly where they're needed with real-time updates. Paired with our new stores, completing a project is easier than ever.

Equipping the Experts

For Pros, every minute counts. Each new location includes a dedicated Pro team and tools like AI-powered blueprint takeoff services and a Material List Builder, turning product descriptions into orders in minutes. Combined with personalized Pro Xtra benefits, these innovations keep complex jobs on track and make The Home Depot the one-stop shop for Pros.

More Than an Apron

The Home Depot is dedicated to becoming a part of the community it serves:

• Each new store means more jobs: hundreds created directly and thousands supported nationwide. Every position The Home Depot creates generates over four additional, more than double the retail average. That local impact adds up, with new stores contributing to the $60 billion in tax revenue driven by The Home Depot's ecosystem of jobs and commerce.
• Disaster Relief: The Home Depot is a top corporate supporter of disaster preparedness and response in the U.S. Helping our associates and neighbors through tough times is part of who we are, whether it's preparing for a storm, weathering it, or rebuilding after.
• Path to Pro Program: We're training the next generation of skilled trades professionals. From entry-level education to programs that help military service members transition into civilian careers, we're building stronger communities, one skill at a time.
