Four Home Depots for Concord?

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported today that Home Depot is finalizing the purchase of the Yardbirds Hardware chain.  Yardbirds has a store at the eastern end of Clayton Road/Kirker Pass in Concord that was just recently upgraded but still smaller than a typical Home Depot.

So let’s review. 

1. Concord has an extremely busy Home Depot.

2. The Home Depot owned Expo Design Center in Concord has closed and rumor has it the HD folks would like to spread the decorating/finishing stuff to that location if it can be done without jumping through a lot of new hoops or costs.

3. Home Depot is also planning for a new store in Concord along Oak Grove Road near the intersection with Monument Blvd – ironically on a vacant lot immediately behind an Orchard Supply Hardware store.

4. Home Dept will now own the Yardbirds Hardware store.

Meanwhile – a Lowe’s Hardware is proposed as part of a shopping center planned for the Arnold Industrial Highway just north of Highway 4 in Concord.

Silicon Valley may have software – but it looks like Concord will be the king of hardware.

    Home Depot is going to buy up all competing business in Concord so they can reap proffits when all the building starts at the closed Concord Navel Wepons Station. Personally I hate Home Depot and will not give them 1 dime. Reason being they promote the hiring of illegal aliens by contractors.

    Take a look at the Concord Home depot today and down Monument Blvd at all the illegals soliciting work. The likes of more building in Concord and a Home Depot Monopoly complete with hiring centers will be a worse magnet for illegals.
