Thread: Check your local Home Depot ...some are going out of business

Tweet

This may have been dicussed already, if not, Home Depot is closing several stores. Two close to me are closing. I was at one a couple of weeks ago and items were marked down 30% to 60% off. I'm going today to load up on PVC tubing and fittings for making armatures.

Hmmmmmm, what else might one look for to build props? I'll look for styrofoam sheeting for tomb stones, but it's probably all gone by now.

Wow, the prices will be awesome but it sucks to lose Home Depot. I'll have to see if the two near me will be closing.

I'd look for:
carpet latex
paint
decorative wood appliques
solar lights
flood / spot lights
luan (very thin wood panels)
concrete form tubes
any tools that you don't already have

I'm sure there are a ton of other things that I'm not thinking about right now. Man, I could have a field day in one of these sales!

also don't forget the fence boards for making coffins, and wiring lots of wiring ( extension cords, splitters, oooooo and cat5 cable as much as you can get

I read that Home Depot is closing 15 of it's worst performing stores and that most of those are in the "rust belt" states.

I live in Corpus Christi and I don't think they'll ever close a Home Depot or the Lowe's stores---they make a killing anytime a hurricane enters the gulf.

I just visited The Home Depot website and here is a list of the 15 stores that they're closing.

-- #2015 East Fort Wayne, Indiana
-- #2032 Marion, Indiana
-- #2310 Frankfort, Kentucky
-- #379 Opelousas, Louisiana
-- #2819 Cottage Grove, Minnesota
-- #6901 East Brunswick, New Jersey
-- #6904 Saddle Brook, New Jersey
-- #6171 Rome, New York
-- #3702 Bismarck, North Dakota
-- #3874 Findlay, Ohio
-- #3865 Lima, Ohio
-- #4552 Brattleboro, Vermont
-- #4932 Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
-- #4933 Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
-- #4913 NW Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Those of you near these stores are both fortunate and unfortunate. Here's a link to the article.

Sweet! They're closing one in Frankfort...about a 30 minute drive for me and I still get to keep the two that are in town! Maybe I can get in on the deals to be had. Thanks HH.

No prob. Be sure to factor in the gas it will take to drive 30 miles. If you get 20 MPG, it'll cost you roughly $12 in gas alone to get there and back. I'm sure you've thought of that already, but you really have to factor that in these days. If you plan to buy a lot of stuff, then it's probably worth it.

Hmmm...23.2 miles....car gets 30 mpg....gas is currently $3.87 per gallon....I think it's worth it if things are at least 40% off. I really need to add to my prop building arsenal so, yes, I'll be buying quite a bit. I'll have to call ahead of time and see when their last business day will be and what the current discount is.

Wow, 30 MPG and $3.87 per gallon. I'm too jealous!!! My fuel efficient car gets 14 MPG and gas is $4.25 per gallon here in Chicago.
