Total store locations, 1979-present

The first four Home Depot stores were all located in Georgia, with the next four opening in south Florida in 1981.[3][4] With the acquisition of Bowater Home Centers in 1984, the chain grew from 22 to 31 locations and entered the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.[5] Home Depot's store footprint in the United States grew rapidly throughout the first three decades of the chain's history, but since the Great Recession This is a link to a Wikipedia article in the late 2000s, it has remained steady at just under 2,000 stores. The company began to expand internationally in 1994 with the acquisition of Aikenhead's Hardware This is a link to a Wikipedia article in Canada. Home Depot also expanded into Mexico in 2001, and previously operated stores in Chile (1998–2001), Argentina (2000–2002), and China (2006–2012).[6][7]

Since the opening of the chain's first locations in West Virginia in 2003, Home Depot stores have existed in all 50 U.S. states,[8] as well as the District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All 10 provinces of Canada currently have Home Depot stores, with the last province to get one being Newfoundland and Labrador in 2005.[9] There have also been Home Depots in all 32 Mexican states since the chain's first stores opened in Oaxaca and Zacatecas in 2014.[10]
