Home Depot is the world’s largest home improvement retailer, catering to do-it-yourselfers, gardeners, contractors, and tradespeople. The company stocks more than 35,000 products in its stores and 1 million products online, and it employs more than 470,000 people worldwide.
From two stores in Atlanta, Georgia (where it has its headquarters) more than four decades ago, Home Depot has expanded to all 50 states and has a large footprint in neighboring Canada and Mexico.
Here’s how many stores Home Depot operates as of 2026.
Home Depot operated 2,359 stores at the end of fiscal 2025, which ended on February 1, 2026, and almost all of the stores — which include retail, distribution centers, and service centers — were in the U.S. and its territories.

Home Depot stores averaged about 104,000 square feet of enclosed space and about 24,000 square feet of outdoor garden area. That’s about the same amount of space the retailer’s stores occupied in fiscal 2015 and only a small change from 2005.
In its formative years, Home Depot’s early stores averaged around 60,000 square feet.
Home Depot added 12 new stores in fiscal 2025, which was part of its plan announced in fiscal 2023 to add about 80 new stores over a five-year period. The retailer now looks to achieve that goal of 80 new stores in fiscal 2027, and afterward plans to open about 15 to 20 new stores each year.
