They are an American business that does not deal with other countries outside North America. Why would they care about the world outside of "ol' Merica?"

- moffkalast 3y agoWell if they don't want the rest of the world's money, that's alright. Someone else will get it instead.
- tssva 3y agoAnd they are fine with that just like large numbers of retail chains in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Australia, New Zealand, etc. which don't have a presence in the US or other countries outside their own or their own economic region. Home Depot does operate stores outside the US in Mexico and Canada.
- RockRobotRock 3y agoDo you know what home depot is? They're a store, that you have to like, go to.
- moffkalast 3y agoAh my bad. I thought it was like a depot, that you had at home. /s If McDonalds and Aldi can work on multiple continents I'm sure it's not logistically impossible.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoStanding up and maintaining a distribution network is non trivial, especially for bulky goods that aren't practical for mail order shipping. Home Depot doesn't contract out locally sourced production like your examples do.
