• Home Depot size

If there was a prize for the biggest home improvement retailer in America, then there is no doubt that Home Depot would win hands down. They are ahead of Lowe's who is their biggest rival and are actually the fourth biggest general retailer in the States.

The style of their stores is fashioned after huge warehouses; the average is 105,000 ft2, but the mega stores are even bigger. The largest is the one in Union, New Jersey, which is an astounding 225,000 ft2.

• Home Depot history

The men behind Home Depot are Bernie Marcus, Ron Brill, Pat Farrah and Arthur Blank. Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank secured the capital that was necessary with the help of investment banker, Ken Langone.

The idea was to create home improvement warehouses that were bigger than any of their competitors' stores.

1979 saw the first two stores opening in Atlanta on June 21. Two more quickly followed.

• Home Depot today

Marcus and Blank retired in 2000, and Robert Nardelli took over as Chairman, CEO and President, but in 2007 he was replaced by Frank Blake.

That same year, Home depot sold its trade section, which was worth $13 billion to three equity firms, and their wholesale construction supply department that was worth an estimated $40 billion so that they could fund more stock.
