Home Depot Promotion Benefits Vets
The Home Depot(R) (HOME), the world’s largest home improvement retailer, today announced
that the Company is offering all active duty personnel, reservists, retired military, veterans and their families a 10 percent discount off their purchases in honor of Veteran’s Day. The offer is valid on purchases of up to $2,000 for a maximum of $200 between November 6 and November 12, 2008, at The Home Depot stores, The Home Depot Design Center locations, Yardbirds and EXPO Design Center(R) locations.
“Veteran’s Day honors the heroic individuals who have served our nation and have made tremendous sacrifices to protect our freedoms,” said Frank Blake, chairman and CEO. “We are proud to show our appreciation with the Veteran’s Day discount as it is a simple, yet meaningful, gesture to say thank you to these men and women who have protected and continue to protect our nation.”
To qualify, individuals must present proof of military service when checking out and discounts will be taken at the register.
Home Depot operates 15 Stores in Delaware and one in near by Salisbury, MD. The newest store just opened in Newark on Elkton Road. This latest store is a way for Home Depot to capture the Elkton, Maryland home improvement market. Home Depot has been unable to secure a store location in or around Elkton – rumor has it that the Cecil County Board is protecting the home turf for other building supply retailers.
