| The Home Depot opens Home Depot Fuel store in Georgia The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, will open its first Home Depot Fuel store in Georgia. The new Home Depot Fuel location, situated in front of The Home Depot retail store at 3355 Cobb Parkway in Acworth, comprises a 2,700-square-foot convenience store, a filling station and a car wash. The Home Depot has designed its Fuel stores with an eye on attracting business from contractors in addition to do-it-yourselfers and commuters. Based on feedback from contractor focus groups, a separate diesel island was built at the Acworth Fuel location to allow professionals to fill up large vehicles with high-speed dispensers and pay with fleet cards. The car wash was built to handle large pickup trucks and vans, and the store offers giant containers of coffee and larger sizes of snacks for contractors to take to their job sites. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
