Home Depot has filed 3 WARN notices across 3 states, affecting 943 workers. Filings are concentrated in Atlanta, Rockville, and Mexico. Of these, 2 involved facility closures and 1 were layoff events. Filing dates range from Jul 17, 2025 through Jan 28, 2026. Atlanta accounts for 85% of affected workers.
Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, founded in 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia. The company operates over 2,300 stores across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and employs roughly 475,000 people. Most of its workforce is hourly store associates.
Home Depot's WARN filings typically stem from store closures, distribution center relocations, and periodic corporate restructurings rather than mass company-wide layoffs. The company closed its Expo Design Center chain (all 34 stores) in 2009 during the housing downturn. More recent filings relate to individual store closures and supply chain facility changes.
Home Depot invested early and heavily in e-commerce and omnichannel capabilities, spending over $11 billion on its One Home Depot strategy between 2017 and 2020. This included buy-online-pick-up-in-store, same-day delivery, and professional contractor digital tools. The company's early technology investments helped it outperform competitors like Lowe's during the pandemic home improvement boom.
Home Depot is navigating a slowdown in the housing market as higher interest rates have reduced home sales and remodeling activity. The company acquired SRS Distribution for $18.25 billion in 2024 to expand its professional contractor business. AI is being applied to supply chain optimization and customer service tools.
