Q. Why did The Home Depot acquire HD Supply?
A. HD Supply complements The Home Depot's existing MRO business with a robust product offering, value-added service capabilities, an experienced salesforce, and an extensive, MRO-specific distribution network throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Q. Why will HD Supply be separate from The Home Depot retail?
A. Establishing a standalone brand for our wholesale business that is distinct from The Home Depot's retail brand reaffirms our commitment to serving the unique needs of our professional customers.

Q. What should I expect next?
A. For now, it's business as usual. Please continue interacting with your current Sales representative and Customer Care teams as you normally do.

Q. Do I need to prepare for any upcoming changes?
A. No. As we work together to develop the best experience in the business, we will keep you informed of any new developments.

Q. What will the combined wholesale business bring to its customers?
A. Together as HD Supply, Home Depot Pro and HD Supply will provide an unparalleled customer experience – from product assortment and availability to sales support and delivery.

Q. Why was HD Supply chosen as the name for our combined wholesale business?
A. Adopting the HD Supply name signals our commitment to serving the unique needs of the professional customer within the MRO and distribution spaces as a standalone business. It also represents a return to our roots: the HD Supply name and logo were originally developed when the company was owned by The Home Depot.

Q. Will the combined business share a common eCommerce platform?
A. Eventually, yes. Over the next several months, we will thoughtfully build out a roadmap that outlines the process and timing of getting both businesses onto one solution. At this time, you should continue interacting with your current eCommerce platform.
