The company says the program will add more than 1.6 million square feet of retail space across the announced locations. (corporate.homedepot.com) Texas is slated for the largest share of openings with four locations, Florida will get two, and single new stores are planned for Arizona, Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah. (hbsdealer.com) The Leander, Texas site identified as Store #1348 will be a 146,000-square-foot format at 9541 183A Toll FR Rd featuring full tool-rental capabilities, an expanded garden center, new merchandising displays and a store manager named Daniel Corbell. (corporate.homedepot.com) Home Depot projects the buildouts will produce “thousands of career opportunities” overall and specifically lists the Leander location as bringing 150+ jobs to that community. (corporate.homedepot.com) Operations at the new sites will support same‑day delivery and in‑store pickup by leveraging the fact that more than half of the retailer’s online orders are fulfilled through stores, the company said. (corporate.homedepot.com) Each new location will include a dedicated Pro team and roll out digital tools named Magic Apron, an AI-powered blueprint takeoff service and a Material List Builder to speed order creation and on‑site fulfillment.
