Home Depot’s plan to deliver your tools, tile and other home improvement products the next day depends heavily on its new 1.5 million-square-foot warehouse complex at Tradepoint Atlantic outside of Baltimore.
The Atlanta-based construction and DIY giant has now fully opened its campus in eastern Baltimore County as part of a long-planned corporate expansion across the U.S. The facility will serve the Mid-Atlantic and is part of a $1.2 billion move by Home Depot to reset its supply chain and add 150 logistics centers across the U.S. to better compete in the e-commerce market.
Home Depot (NYSE: HD) aims to offer next-day delivery to about 90% of its customers under the new U.S. system — and the large-scale center at the former Sparrows Point steel mill is a major component for service on the East Coast, said Kyle Dennis, vice president of supply chain distribution for Home Depot, in an interview with the Baltimore Business Journal.
