The Home Depot has opened three new distribution centres in Sparrows Point, Md. The company says the 1.5 million-square-foot campus will bring nearly 500 new full- and part-time jobs to the Baltimore area and provide faster delivery options to customers in the region.
“We’re focused on creating an easier and more convenient shopping experience for our customers’ home improvement needs, whether they shop in stores or online,” Stephanie Smith, senior VP of supply chain, said in a release. “By investing in our supply chain, we’ll continue to meet the changing expectations of our Pro and DIY customers—getting us closer to our goal of offering same day and next day delivery to 90 percent of the U.S. population.”
