Home centers are large-format retail stores selling a broad mix of home repair and improvement merchandise — lumber, building materials, plumbing and electrical supplies, hand and power tools, hardware, housewares, paint, and lawn and garden products. Customers range from DIY homeowners to local contractors picking up materials. Operations typically involve receiving and stocking heavy materials, operating forklifts or material-handling equipment in the yard and sales floor, and in many cases delivering products to job sites or homes.
Questions to investigate
- How many locations are operated, and are they under common ownership?
- Does the store operate a delivery fleet, and if so, what types of vehicles and what is the typical delivery radius?
- Is there a contractor pro-desk or contractor account program, and what percentage of revenue comes from contractor versus DIY customers?
- Are any propane exchange, bulk fuel, or compressed gas products sold on site?
