I used to live about 7 minutes from a Home Depot. Now my closest hardware store is a small chain.

Home Depot's hours were much better. I could run out after dinner.

Last night I accidentally showed up at the local hardware store right after they closed, and there was a steady stream of people checking the door. If there was a Home Depot close by, they'd go out of business immediately just because of their hours.




The local place near me closes at 5:00, which is quite unusual for the United States. It makes it impossible to get there on a weekday.
