International Operations
Home Depot is actively enhancing their global presence and currently operates in the United States, Canada, China, India, and Mexico. As a result of their global presence, they are currently considered being the fifth largest retailer in the world. Home Depot is consistently committed to enhancing their global presence by developing direct relationships with quality manufactures and global suppliers. This enables them to deliver to their new target customers in different countries with quality and value. They entered Canada in 1994, which is 15 short years after they opened their first store in the United States. Their global presence didn’t stop there; they later in 2001 were able to open their first store in Mexico through a combination of acquisitions with Total HOME. In Mexico, Home Depot is the number one retailer. They currently operate a total of 274 stores globally that represents 12.2 percent of their corporation. Right now Home Depot only takes part in global sourcing within China and India. A combination of their knowledge within the industry and consistently monitoring shopping trends in their global areas, has given them the opportunity to serve customers the best they can and enhance global presence.
