Home Depot Announces Closure of All of Its Expo Design Centers

Another knockout blow delivered by the faltering economy: Home Depot has announced that it will be closing all of its Expo Design Center stores across the country, with the liquidation sales beginning immediately. The outlet had served as a more upscale version of its larger, self-service relative, functioning as both a retail store and a home design/redecorating consultation service. Unfortunately for the company, the concept never really took off and had struggled almost from the start, with little to no improvement in its seventeen year life span, which led to even greater suffering once people stopped spending and the real estate market crumbled toward the end of last year.
