Information on the new Home Depot

It's kind of hard to miss the behemoth being raised for the new Home Depot. Another big box company coming to town.

What you might not know is that this Home depot will not be a regular one, but a new test store. Home Depot is offering a service that may compete with the Kroger store next door.

Home Depot, meanwhile, announced that it is expanding its gas-station test, opening its third Home Depot Fuel store, in Acworth, Ga. (The first two are in Tennessee.) Designed to attract more contractors to Home Depot, the stations feature separate diesel islands, as well as a car wash suited to larger trucks, and a convenience store. A spokesman said the company is set to begin construction on a fourth test store, in Smyrna, Tenn., next week, and is in the permit phase for another station in the Atlanta area

This article, dated Spt. 28th, said they are going to begin construction next week. I'm not sure if that is incorrect, and they really mean the big box, or will there be another building here in town?

More competition means better prices...I hope.

Update:
Just heard back from Home Depot's head office. Their press people inform me that the new Home Depot being built, is one of the new test stores. I'm rather intrigued how a Home Depot quicky store will look.
