Home Depot gives South Hill the thumbs down
This just in … an e-mail just came in from the Western Division of The Home Depot in Orange, California which, in a nutshell, says that the company has decided not to build a new store on the South Hill.
Here’s the statement from Home Depot on their decision:
“We reevaluated this deal and found it no longer works for us. We made this decision based on a number of factors. As you know, deals like this are always changing, our plans change, the business landscape changes; no one factor is to blame.
As announced earlier this year, we have reduced our store openings as we focus on investments in our existing stores and operations. By continuing our investment in our existing stores, we will be in a very strong position once the current business climate recovers. We continue to look for new opportunities to bring our business to different areas of Spokane. Our stores in Spokane, Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake will continue to serve the community.”
