Another Threat to Independent Operators
The Home Depot has opened its first Home Depot Fuel convenience store, gas station and carwash in Georgia. The newest Home Depot Fuel location boasts a 2,700- square-foot convenience store, a filling station and a carwash. It is the third Fuel site for the company. The in-bay automatic carwash at the Acworth site was designed to handle large pickup trucks and vans. The carwash, like the convenience store, is supposed to appeal to contractors. The Acworth location and two Tennessee sites are part of a new concept being tested by the Company. Based on their success, the company will decide whether to expand the c-store concept to new markets. The Home Depot projects that each Fuel location, including the new Acworth store, will have revenue of $5 million to $7 million per year.
