The high exposure that U.S. home improvement retail has to the cyclical domestic housing industry, and expectations that the U.S. housing market will remain weak over the near-to-intermediate term partially offset these advantages. Home Depot, which pioneered the full-service, warehouse-style format in the 1970s, has retail operations with an annual revenue base in excess of $70 billion, and is almost twice the size of its nearest competitor, Lowe's Cos. Inc. At Aug. 3, 2008, Atlanta-based Home Depot operated more than 2,200 retail stores across the U.S., Canada, China, and Mexico.
