When embarking on household projects, many start their journey at The Home Depot. As the world's largest home improvement chain and fourth-largest US retailer, the company operates about 2,250 stores in the US, Canada, Mexico, and China, as well as an online business. It targets the do-it-yourself (DIY) and professional markets with its selection of some 40,000 items, including lumber, flooring, plumbing supplies, garden products, tools, paint, and appliances. Home Depot also offers installation services for carpeting, cabinetry, and other products. Stung by the deep recession and housing crisis in the US, the firm is beginning to regain its footing by focusing on its core Home Depot stores and exiting China.
