Home Depot to Bring 1,000 New Jobs to Atlanta
In 2017, big-box home improvement retailer Home Depot (NYSE: HD) embarked on a plan to revamp same-day and next-day delivery services as digital ordering became increasingly relevant. It announced a $1.2 billion investment in restructuring its distribution system and has been following up on that with new initiatives to reach more customers more quickly.
On Tuesday, the company said that it will open three distribution centers in the greater Atlanta area, each one serving a different customer base.
The three new facilities are expected to bring 1,000 new jobs to the Atlanta area, and the company is already beginning to hire 600 workers for the first center. That 657,600-square-foot facility is meant to replenish goods at southeastern U.S. retail stores.
